Rios is ridiculously skilled on the inside.

    Alvarado not to shabby on the inside either, Brandon just had more fire power.
    Kid must hit like a mule, Alvarado's face began to break up almost instantly.

    yeah but you could tell from the start that Alvarado wasn't ****ing with Rios on the inside game

    No he isnt

    Offensively, he puts his shots together well, switches up his attack well & has decent power but he is a little one-paced & predictable, look how easily Abril was able to neutralise him on the inside.

    Defensively, he isnt that good. His guard is leaky, his head movement & reflexes arent anything special. He relies too much on his chin which will eventually be his downfall.

    Alvarado tried the philly shell D like Abril did and Rios did the exact same thing. Move both hands. Don't care if you land clean or not. Just keep moving them. Alvarado couldn't handle that activity...especially to the body.

    Ridiculously skilled is a strong categorisation

    His guard is fantastic. Alvarado's jab was blocked nearly every time. He only got hit clean when he opened up from too far out.

    Rios doesn't really get hit flush too often on the inside. he rolls with the punches a lot. it's when alvarado stepped back and threw **** like a crazy right uppercut that caught Rios. how many fighters today can get down like Rios on the inside, with those short sexy punches.

    He is a good inside fighter but ridiculously skilled I don't know, Abril stayed on the inside for much of the fight and Rios still struggled.

    Why are you so quick to dismiss his loss to Abril? A loss is a loss, you know. Especially a loss like that one, when he couldn't do ****. When the fight finished Abril looked like he had been hanging out at the hotel bar.
