Tim (Denver): Have you heard anything on the Mike Alvarado front? Poss title shot? next opponet? This content is protected Dan Rafael: Nothing is set for Mike at the moment, but he may fight on the Feb. 21 PPV card in New York. Here's another tidbit for the hungry Freaks -- Arum and DiBella have been talking about a possible fight between Alvarado and Malignaggi (although that wouldn't be on the February card, it would be later in the year). This was on today's ESPN boxing chat with Dan Rafael. WHat do you guys think? I think Malignaggi boxes circles around the kid. Easy UD for the Magic Man!
Alvarado is raw but powerful. He reminds me of a 140 pound version of Kermit Cintron. That said, I'm not a fan of Cintron either, and I suspect Malignaggi would get a pretty easy victory.
Alvarado might be so big and strong and Malignaggi so damaged that Alvarado might just beat him. Don't know,if he is on a good day Paulie should win.
