    I disagree with the stoppage tonight, but if they have a rematch it will most likely be over 12 and then Rios wears him down again.

    Rios can't change much... Maybe work on using that left hook to the body more

    Alvarado on the other hand should realise he can easily outwork rios on the outside...

    Wear him down, do some good inside work then get out straight back to jabs and right hands again.


    Rios & Maidana have exacly the same overhand right lol...

    Rios looked really bad at some points in that fight.

    Alvarado was up 2 points before getting clocked why is everyone so confident in Rios?

    No need. It was a great fight but it would go exactly the same way every time. ALvarado's inside game isn't good enough to win on the inside and his boxing game isn't good enough to keep rios off the whole fight. He had the power and size advantage tonight. He might not the next time they fight.

    I put my vCash on Alvarado tonight, but after watching that, Rios takes it again.

    Alvarado is physically & mentally tough and has a deep gas tank. Even if Rios managed to hurt him about as much at about the same point, around halfway, it isn't inconceivable that Alvarado would weather the storm and recover enough to steal back momentum and begin to boss it by the championship rounds or even grind Rios down for his own later stoppage.

    I actually don't think he can to tell you the truth. I was shock by Alvarado's work rate tonight. I didn't think he had that work rate in him and to be frank you could tell he was tiring out because of it. Over a 12 round fight he'd be ****ed by the championship rounds.

    Did Rios kayo him tonight? :think

    Come on Zak, you're usually the first to decry a lousy stoppage - and this certainly was one!

    Don't tell me Alvarado is on your glass jaw list! :rofl

    **** stoppage. Alvarado coasts to a less exciting decision if a rematch were to occur, IMO.

    No, but it's more likely that he isn't able too imo.

    Although many were very close, I had all six rounds prior to the stoppage scored to Alvarado. His work was slightly better throughout, until Rios just happened to chop him in the sweet spot, right on the temple, with one of those right hands. I didn't get the impression that Alvarado gassed out so much as he finally caved when one of Rios' big punches zinged home. Rios took advantage and spent a long moment dutifully pummeling Alvarado and doing everything you'd expect and want a fighter to do to secure the stoppage. He didn't, however, earn that stoppage - not all the way. For all we know Alvarado could've come back from the brink...and may have already been in the process. At that precise moment that Russell stopped it, he really didn't seem to be in anywhere near as dire a situation as when Rios landed the original right hand that set off the barrage nearly half a minute earlier.

    :conf As hurt as he'd seemed for a spell immediately beforehand, it looked at the moment of the stoppage like Mike was weathering the storm just fine to me.

    What is the Latino belt that Rios just won? So if he fights non-Latino guy, his opponent wouldn't be eligible to fight for that belt?
