I agree with Alvarados trainer, Mike did a lot right but allowed Rios to do too much he let Rios get away with being inside and allowing himself to fight Rios fight Alvarado i think was ahead at the time and proved with space he can outbox Rios and i think with a certain amount of space he can rock Rios with the right i think the result can be very reverseable
I'm taking Rios by stoppage 9 rd. Alvarado will make a better account of himself this go around but I think the pressure from Rios will finally catch up...Alvarado needs to be on his bike for the most of the match and I dont see that happening.
I think that it all comes down to how Alvarado reacts when Rios gets to his chin again. Will he fold quicker after having being stopped for the first time? Or was he really going to respond like he said he was before the ref stopped the fight. That's what we're going to find out. To be honest, both guys showed that they could land at will. This all has to favor Rios. It won't be easy for 'Mile High' to pull this one out.
Rios is never a sure thing, I think he will win just a little bit of patience and the idiotic Rios is a good fighter hype train can end
