    What a fighter this guy is. He's always bringing it!. He's got some skills and he's got power and strength. He showed some changes tonight in his techniques and tactics.

    He's a class act. A true warrior!.

    He's 100% warrior, as is Rios. Im even more impressed that throughput the entire fight Alvarado maintained his discipline. I thought it was over fast after he got rocked in the second.

    Fighters like them are keeping boxing alive today, turning into the Gatti and Ward of their era. Id love to see a third fight, but not until later in the year when both of them have had a long rest, and maybe a tune up fight.

    A true warrior with the heart of a lion, he fought like a guy with his life on the line in there tonight, he was almost out-willing Rios at times in there, great power, great engine, great chin and iron heart.

    Sorry to mention Bellew again but Alvarado is the kind of fighter Bellew wishes he could be, a true warrior who you get the sense really is willing to die in the ring (same for Rios)

    I can't stop thinking about that fight last night. Went church today and during the quiet moments found myself harping back to the war.

    Mike Alvarado is a damn G!. Thank you for the effort. Thank Brandon also.

    Crazy fight, Rios really is an animal... some of the shots he took was incredible. As for Alvarado that was a genuinely impressive performance.
    Part 3 is going to be insane.

    Wanted him to win the first fight so I'm happy he won last night. Haven't seen the fight yet though, was it as good as that last one??

    A terrific display of raw mayhem.Both ended up with trips to the hospital.Give them a break and let them fight someone else next-otherwise they will both be brain dead by the time they are 30'sh.:nut

    :good It's a sensational battle. It's so hard to trump the first fight but they did it. I'd of sent you the link to the youtube version i just watched which was great but they've took it down :-(.
