Not even Rios walked through Alvarado like Ruslan did. Ruslan literally walked through every thing he had. He ate his soul, and shat him back out. Why do you think Mike rematched Rios twice, but doesn't have the cajones to rematch Ruslan?
I feel we are wasting two exciting fighters on each other, when they can lay waste to other opponents and keep the thrills coming. I would love for Matthysse to smash Broner and would equally enjoy Provo ripping through Rios. Then Thurman, Maybe even Kahn.
Well Mike had just been through 2 wars with Brandon, and he didn't luck out that time and land a perfect shot, just because he hurt Bam Bam once with a well placed massive shot, doesn't mean that'll happened everytime he gets in the ring. He didn't land anything that at least looked that bad against Provo.
Mike was outboxing Rios before that perfect shot either way. Either way answer my question, why do you think Alvarado was so comfortable fighting Rios 3 times, but he doesn't have the ***** to step into the ring with Ruslan. Ruslan hits harder, and has better durability. The only thing I'd say Rios has an edge on is inside fighting.
this alvardo just caught rios with a perfect shot it happens in boxing in the first rios vs Alvarado fight he never landed that perfect shot just like he never landed it against ruslan.
It took Matthyse 11 rounds to get Molina a guy who's been stopped before, and dropped before. Molina only comes foward, he doesn't box, so what makes you think Ruslan won't make it 12 rounds?
You missed the point why do take a perfectly timed a shot as your example? did alvardo land that perfect shot on rios in the first fight? if anything that shot from alvardo should of hurt rios more
Rios chin for me is more proven than ruslans he has faced big punchers pac is one example even manny said he took the best punch from all his opponents so comparing rios chin to ruslan is a little far fetched.
DeMarco landed another perfect shot the messed up Molina's head for a few seconds very early in the match before John even knew what was happening, DeMarco couldn't legit KO Linares he's not a huge puncher, that match was a fluke. It happens.
Why do you keep repeating yourself about this "perfect shot"? Is that the only argument you have? Alvarado landed some huge shots on Provodnikov that could have shook Rios, it's just that Ruslan ate em like they were nothing so they went unnoticed.
LOL!!!! Manny took it easy on Rios, it was his comeback fight. If you think Manny went all out in that fight, I dont know what to say.
LOL, stop with the "perfect shot" excuses man. Molina has been dropped before DeMarco anyways. Molina's chin isn't close to Matthyses, and it took him 11 rounds to get him outta there.
