I hate boxing referres. As soon as he got tagged he was ready to stop the fight. They stop every fight no matter what. What a good fight it was but what a historic fight it could've been had Alvarado had a chance to come back ala Corrales. We will never have that again because of these refs. So annoying. I feel robbed. I got good. I wanted great.
Probably the fight where the most braincells were lost! Good stoppage, very impress with Rios' heart and Chin. Alvarado could be good, if he just stick to outside boxing, he woulda schooled Rios!
Pat Russel is an experienced ref I think the stoppage was on point don't wanna see the guy behaving like toney or bowe in ten years...
It wasn't lacking much. I thought the larger Alvarado was heading for a KO victory a couple of rounds previous. It was a very good action fight.
