    That was a brutal fight. Rematch would be nice.

    "Watch his head snap back. That's an acceleration/deceleration injury right there..."

    - Pat Russell, talking absolute ****.


    Rios' head snapped back just like that many times earlier on.

    I already said that I don't agree with the stoppage, but Pat Russel the ref made a very good case for stopping the fight.

    Pat Russell guarantees another year without having to stay in a Holiday Inn.

    :huh

    Marquez counters him into Bolivian.

    It's Pac he'd have a marginal chance against, if anything.

    This fight should be a message to everyone, that you shouldn't fight Rios unless you have a huge co-promotor.
    If this **** went the distance like in the same manner of the previous rounds Rious would have won a ****ing decision, I have no doubt about that.

    I think it was a quick stoppage. Mike was hurt. but his eyes were ok and his hands were up. He should have taken a knee. The ref could have given him an 8 count. This is a fight worthy of a rematch.

    Rios fought back though. Alvarado was in trouble, heart was keeping him up but surely he would only have taken more? Rios didn't look particularly fatigued, in fact he landed about 7 unanswered hard shots before the stoppage.

    Just holding your hands up doesn't mean you arent defenseless. He was holding his hands up from instinct they were blocking any punches.
