    Rios gotz to be favored, but Alvarado does bring that element of danger. Great fight Alvarado very flawed, but he can hurt Rios. There will be blood.

    WOW.... that's a damn good one. I think Alvarado has the tools and the heart to pull off an upset.

    Great fight no doubt! Alvarado has flaws, true, but Rios has many obvious flaws as well. Two warriors that have demonstrated tremendous heart.

    I was very impressed with how Alvarado stayed focused even though he had blood pouring from his head, nose, and mouth and made the needed adjustments to turn the fight into his favor. I was equally impressed with what Rios did in his fight against Acosta, one punch turned it around for him.

    I really hope this fight does come to fruition, may the best man win. :good

    Fantastic fight if they put this together, and both being with Top Rank makes it very easy, Alvarado will definitely give Rios the war he desires but I favour Rios to beat him seen as how impressively Prescott was handling Alvarado before he became stupid in the last round and got caught.

    Great fight, but I have Rios winning this one.

    I do, however, have immense respect for Alvarado. He made me a fan by the way he came back against Prescott. Showed tremendous heart and intelligence to turn things around. Awesome fight.

    More credit needs to be given to Alvarado. I noticed from as early as the 5th round, him begin to adjust and finding a home for his right hand. It's not as though Prescott deliberately let him knock him out. Alvarado turned the fight around. He was getting to Prescott and hurting him more and more.

    Sooner or later, Rios is going to run into a wall he can't break through. I don't think this is it, but hopefully we'll see.
