    As far as the stoppage is concerned it was a little early but no big deal. Alvarado may have been whether the storm but more likely he was 1-2 punches away from getting KTFOed.....he definitely was pretty ****ing hurt and didn't protest the stoppage too much....it is too bad though cause it was close enough to the end of the round that if he got knocked down he could have survived and rios was tired enough that he could have gassed after that flurry....but we'll never know....

    Anyways as far as the rematch is concerned, the best indicator of whether or not a rematch is required was Alvarado's post fight interview....he was saying all the right things about being ready for a rematch and **** but you could tell he didn't want no ****ing more of brandon rios...

    It was a legit and good punches Rios landed 12 out of 16 shots in the last sequence. 3 flush hard shots, and several solid shots. Mike's leg was gone and arms dropping. It can only get much worse from there.

    Rios was catching a lot of Alvarado's work on the outside. His defense was superb. Except when he laid inside too long. I think Rios beats him every time. His punches were more varied.

    I think it's one of those situations where it would have been a fine stoppage had Russell done it a few moments earlier when Alvarado really was just a sitting duck for the barrage, before he cleared the cobwebs and moved in to clinch.

    When a guy is tough and has solid recuperative powers, there is a window of opportunity for a stoppage as he's getting bombed on. Pat Russell missed the window in this case.

    Had they clinched, and then after the break Alvarado was taking punches the way he'd been - then yeah, by all means the ref's judgment would (you'd hope) be to grant him mercy.

    It's touchy when the guy is well on his way or all the way recovered from having been in a bad spot, though. For all we know Alvarado would have rallied back and won every subsequent round or even knocked Rios out. More likely, Rios would have kept hammering him until he was legitimately put away - but at least give him that clinch and a chance to prove otherwise. Especially where he'd been in control (despite it being close throughout) and both men had been eating some monsters shots all night, and where Rios had himself had his head snapped back in a jarring and violent fashion by isolated punches even if it wasn't so many strung together at once.

    I had Rios TKO 6 and nothing in this fight tells me a rematch would be different.

    I hope they do not fight each other again until a year seperation. Those type of fights end careers real quick. Look what happen to Castillo and Corrales after that.

    IB this stoppage was perfect. Dude was done (and I don't like Rios at all).

    "Lousy stoppage"? You're my dude, I respect your judgement but disagree with your assessment, Alvarado was out on his feet, furthermore Rios smelled blood and was coming stupid hard. How many more of those shots did Alvardo have to take to convince you he was ****ing finished? Why make him eat 2, 5, or ever how many more huge punches? He was done...man, finished.

    Great ****ing point...stupid as **** max kellerman is going on and on about the stoppage being too soon but **** off both these guys are young and have more to offer the sport.....look at every ****ing war series their has been in the last ten or twenty years and you'll notice a pattern:

    Ward-Gatti - Gatti has a good well engineered career afterwards fighting older smaller opponents....ward is done and has life long injuries that have followed him around since. Gatti suffered from untreated depression.

    Castillio-Corrales - Neither ever won a meaningful fight afterwars. Corrales litterally never won a fight afterwards and his body was so badly damaged that he practically couldn't hold the weight at any weight class he tried to fight at.

    Vazquez Marquez - Vaszquez gave everything he had to win the third fight and was ruined afterwards. Marquez has never won a meaningful fight since and has been used as Cannon fodder by the rest of the elites around his wts class. Neither got paid **** for any of the first three fights and its only lucky for them that promoters had the good sense to create a million dollar pension fund for each...otherwise known as their fourth fight.....Most guys don't get that lucky.

    I like Max Kellerman but he's got to know what he's asking of fighters and referees when he bitches about early stoppages in what are legitamently brutal fights.










    .......But hey don't get me wrong if they make a rematch it isn't like I'll be holding my noise in the air......I'll obviously still be watching.

    Alvarado can win when he keels Rios on the outside. He would need to stick to that rather than get caught up in a firefight, but that's not his mentality. A rematch is another 50/50 affair.
