    Interesting cuz I thought Rios took 1-4 and had the same reaction. I thought Mike was turning it around and was kind of surprised Rios got the stoppage when he did because of it. I watched it via Polsat so it was the same as no commentary for me.

    I wouldn't say dominated, as he got hit waay too often and cleanly IMHO. But Rios certainly controlled the fight, took Alvarado out of his comfort zone and made him fight Rios' fight. Was a great fight!

    Utah was once Mexico too.

    So you can look at it like a ***** and say I moved in with the white people, or you can look at it like I came to reclaim the land of my fore fathers in Mexico. :D :yep

    Perhaps "dominating" isn't the best way to describe it. But the fight as a whole was a domination imo, as in 6-1, 5-2 with a TKO.

    But the rounds were close, but with Rios clearly putting in the better work imo.

    If the ref had let him land 4 or 5 big shots maybe. But to me looked like Alvarado, although hurt, was actively defending, on the move, his hands were up and he was looking to clinch when the stoppage came. He wasn't defenseless. Now it is quite possible the ref did indeed save him from a hard KO, but I thought with the fight going the way it was, a back and forth affair, that the ref jumped the gun just a shade. He stopped it the first time one guy was legitimately hurt. Certainly not a terrible stoppage, but I didn't like it.

    You guys would be howling if it had been Rios, no?

    Anyway, Rios did not dominate this fight. It was a hard earned win.

    Real Mexicans tend to be conservative. Mexican Americans tend to be leftwing. :yep

    I gotta disagree on the "actively defending". He was going by instinct and training but couldn't stop a punch. He needed to take a knee since there is no standing 8 to buy time.

    Exactly. His hands were up, but they were not strong, nor were they tight infront of him, they were just up and Rios was landing on face at will.

    It's not like Alvarado was really protecting himself, and since he wasn't, the ref had to do it for him, that's the refs main job.
