I'm so hyped for this fight!!!

War Bam Bam!

I'm going for my Denver boy Alvarado obviously, but Rios wins this. It'll turn into a toe-to-toe, both fighters will have their moments again, but I see Rios getting the stoppage again. Can't wait for it though.

Mr. Philadel

I picked Rios in the first fight....but I thought the stoppage wasn't cool....Mike was hurt badly but dude has proven he can bounce back when in trouble...I'm quite sure Smoger would've let it continue....I'm picking Alvarado to win a decision this time....but a DRAW wouldn't suprise me at all

when the first fight got signed...I felt like it had TRILOGY written all over it!!

Any info on the undercard? IIRC it was supposed to be Prescott-Khabib but one of them pulled out due to injury? Is that right?

Khabib did. But I seem to remember them saying Terrence Crawford could get the call on short notice. Haven't heard anything since.

The more I watch it, the better the stoppage looks and that's not because i'm a Rios fan. Alvarado was stumbling from the first Right he took in the exchange. He was hurt pretty bad, by the time he got to the ropes his body wen't limp, he was being held up by the ropes and he couldn't protect himself anymore.
