it was almost as good and to those who criticize rios and alvarado's skills , let's not act like ward and gatti were the craftiest fighters either..

No, it wasn't. It was a hell of a fight, but I would rather watch Corrales-Castillo or Vazquez-Marquez I-III. Gatti-Ward is a tad different because of the lack of skill but makes up for that in heart.

i absolutely loved Rios-Alvarado but it is not anywhere near as good as Gatti-Ward. this round was one of the goat

I truly don't understand the people not that impressed with Rios-Alvarado. It was so clearly the FOTY, so much more consistent action than Pac-Marquez.
Gatti-Ward 1 was better, but not by that much. To say it's not even close is absurd and makes me realize how overrated Gatti-Ward was.
Round 9 has to be the most overrated round in history. They were both completely gassed for half the round and neither had anything on their punches after Ward punched himself out over the first half.
