This is probably the most exciting fight that can be made by Bob Arum, I don't think there is any other 140 pound fighters in the stable. Maybe Terrence Crawford....but I don't think that Arum would risk him at this stage... Brandon Rios don't want with Pac so it's Alvarado up next.....
This. Algieri at WW for a top ranked star IS a tuneup. But Alvarado at WW would be a step down from Algieri, so that doesn't make sense.
I am an Alvarado fan but at this stage he isn't really a step up from or more of a threat than Algieri.
I think I read a few days ago that Alvarado is currently in jail and has been for 2-3 weeks. His sheet is long and it had to do with outstanding warrants.
Algieri just beat the guy who destroyed Mike, yet Algieri is a tune up for Mike:huh Not great logic from the TS, but I wouldn't put anything past Arum.
