Alvarado fought the wrong fight.

Great fight. Leaky D and he got stopped.

 

He definitely won when it was on the outside. Rios kept pushing forward, but a little more lateral ,movement could have kept the distance a little more.

 

Yea. I saw him doing that weak ass shoulder roll and constantly getting clipped by the left hook. I was like, wtf!

 

Abril lost by suckage. Get over it.

 

Nah, he fought the right fight as he was leading in the scorecards before the KO. I had Rios winning only 2 rds. But even while Mike was ahead you can tell Rios was slowly wearing him down. It's just not possible to take many clean, hard shots from someone like Rios and still be fresh after 6 or 7 rds. Impossible. His only chances are to run which he won't or badly hurt Rios which he can't. I knew Rios would hurt him at some point; I was just afraid it would be too late as it was a 10 rd fight. In a fight like this a rd does make a big difference.

 

Check the official score cards again. I'm pretty sure you are wrong and Abril's suckage lost him that fight. Go ahead and prove me wrong. Oh, that's right, your can't because your opinion on the matter is 100% worthless. Reality is nice place. You should try and visit once and a while.

 

Would you wanna see Rios-Alvardo II. I sure-as-hell would. Definitely shades of Corrales-Castillo I

 

Mike was already losing on the judges cards, if he had done that the scorecards would have looked even more ridiculous.

Oh and to be honest, Mike wasn't all that effective from the outside at all, as he really wasn't landing much of anything, if I remember right I think he was averaging 6 of 58 jabs landed a round.

 

I'm certain he dish out more power punches than rios, on all those in fight exchanges he took a step back to get more leverage and snap on his punches. Rios was simply just stronger and had the better chin

 

I wondered about that but my satellite was acting up and it pulled in Polsat. Weird huh? I wasn't paying real close attention but I thought Brandon took the first 4 and Alvarado may have taken 5/6. It was annoying the way he raised his hands after each round to alert the judges he took it. atsch

 

Honestly man, Rios and his team are so far past Abril it's not even funny, the dude is nothing more then a afterthought now. Rios is primed to start making the big money, Richard is not on his radar. And probably wont be on anybody else's again, the guy can't offer big money, big name or big exposure Abril has screwed himself with his awful to watch style.

 

No he wasn't 2 judges had the fight even at the time of the stoppage, and the other judge had Rios up by 2 points.

 

even though alvarado was boxing well it was clear rios was walking him down and would catch up to him eventually. this fight played out very similar to cotto and rio's boyfriend margarito.
