Rios is good given what he has. He's no elite but definitely a good gatekeeper in my eyes. B fighter at most. Definitely NOT a good win for any elite fighter.
Because Pac fought him, right? Rios had already been exposed by Abril going into that fight and it was a cherry pick by Pac; though, rightfully so, since Pac had just suffered a brutal KO in his previous fight.
If anything the guy is over rated, he doesn't have a good win that sets him apart. I like Brandon also, he would be in a better place if he was not with top rank. Whether we like it or jot, golden boy/haymon have the 140-160 division on lock.
abril is to rios what herrera is to danny garcia (but atleast that fight was highly competitive) and yet here you are praising bam bam and just shooting straight at garcia :scaredas:
alvarado beat herrera easily :hi: garcia was beaten up by herrerea he was ruined by him:yep fact is alvardo is classes above herrera and salka by distance
Rios and Alvarado make for a decent rivalry. There both fair level fighters but nothing more. I think the fight outcome really is down to Alvarado. If he chooses to exchange more like he did in the 1st, it'll end the same way. If he's trained and conditioned himself to go for the full twelve, he'll do a similar job to what he did in the 2nd and win on points. The only unknown here really is how damaged they both are at this stage. They've both suffered some nasty losses (I'd say Alvarado's loss to Provodnikov was perhaps the most brutal), and it'll be interesting to see how they've been effected by them. For me it really is 50/50. Alvarado on points, or Rios by stoppage.
Alvarado DID not beat Mauricio easy, ydksab. Why not hype alavardo up? O yea that's right because he didn't fight PAC.
How is disagreeing with you and then using Brandon's past history as grounds for a differing opinion equate to being butthurt? You attempt to hype fighters that Pac has on his resume for no other reason than than to glorify Pac. Recognizing a thinly veiled agenda also does not equate to be being butthurt. Or you could just be trolling.
Well that's you're problem you are reading into things way to much sonny. I never mentioned pac in this thread:hi:
I think Rios gets unfairly treated when they say he has no skills or is crude I'd have to say his inside fighting, his uppercuts, his body punching, his ability to roll with punches and pick off punches with his gloves is top notch He's not Mayweather or Whitaker but hes not some talentless bum, the guy can fight I figure Rios by the 8th
