    He's been in some wars.

    I don't understand how anyone can pick him as a favorite over Provodnikov. The Russian has acclimated to 147 where as Alvarado can still make 140, Provodnikov has a solid amateur background where as Alvarado has little, and Provodnikov has the better chin and the harder punch. If anything Mike's getting pretty overrated from the Rios decision. If he gets into a similar fight like he did with Presscott, Provodnikov will finish him.

    Rios is a very very basic fighter - Alvarado should have done a better job boxing him.. but his footwork & defence isn't great

    Rios likes to boast about how he had a solid amateur background unlike margarito so he is a completely different fighter... gets outboxed by Alvarado who started boxing age 19? .. lol, Pac is going to hurt him... Don't understand why all these respected boxing pundits give it a 50:50 fight..

    Anyway yes Provo will probably win... is it at 147 this fight? I like both men, but at 147 provo definitely holds an advantage.

    Provo and Alvarado have the same weaknesses, their faces swell and get ripped up pretty badly... Also are Pac's sparring partners - while Rios will soon be Pac's heavy bag... lol

    Provodnikov will have to come down in weight. Alvarado's interim WBO junior welterweight title will be on the line for this fight.

    He sounds perfectly coherent and articulate to me. :conf

    A little bit slurred though pretty coherent as odd as that sounds, and still a "smart dude" playing the right cards in regards to the Rios/Pacquiao fight

    It looks like he was nervous because at moments he speaks faster and clearer.
