    Didn't Ariza promise he'd be able to get him to 135 and if he couldn't his services would be free? Weight is usually just about how much YOU want to make weight.

    All eyes are on him... He will make the weight comfortable.
    (He has no F'N choice)

    IF he is not @ his best Vs. Alvarado he is getting ****ed up.

    true I watched a little bit of both of them yesterday to make my pick. I first thought Alvarado would win because Rios mostly uses his size up close to bully guys and beat them up (well at least I thought that). That was the impression I got on his last 2 fights, fights that he just happened to be drained for.
    Murray was beating Rios through most of their fight, but Rios's size and strength pretty much won him the fight imo.

    Now with Alvarado, he weighed 157 on the day of the fight vs Prescott and he's a former wrestler. I'm pretty sure he's going to be stronger than Rios in the ring, so I believed he'd win. But I went back and watched Rios fight Antillion when he didn't have as much trouble making weight and I forgot how skilled Rios actually is in the pocket. His punches looked much sharper too and he wasn't just bullying his way around.

    I believe this fight really does come down to Rios's weight. If he makes it comfortably, he'll win
