Televised on HBO from the Home Depot Center in Cali. Rios moving up to 140 lbs. I had the opinion Rios was a true bad ass and one tough SOB, but I think he is maybe thinking he can't lose and is not as committed as I would like. Alvarado is a junk yard dog. He wants this so bad his family and friends can taste it. At any rate I see the powers that be opening this up with Rios the favorite, and me like that. I actually like Alvarado in this one and will bet accordingly.

I realize Rios has advantage, but I feel it may come down to a war of attrition. Or put another way, who wants it more. Should be entertaining at any rate.
Is it!?
I'm not so sure....
Alvarado @+200 is definately value!
He can actually box a bit, though he doenst mind trading...
BTW (on fightnews)
Harrison confesses: I lived a lie
So true!!!

I recently communicated with his buddy Gab Montoya and he did'nt mention it. It doesn't matter; Alvarado wins either way!

but i cant bet on alvarado, he was losing to prescott
and he is a wrestler turned boxer
gotta go with the born gunslinger

After Price begins cracking him, if he isn't now, he will be. If Rios has any problem with weight this go round I am increasing my play exponentially.
Yea thongster, Kermit the frog seriously has some mental issues. Not being funny here. The kid had a myriad of problems growing up and it seems to have effected him. To me, Alvarado is the classic "live" dog. I don't see him not giving 110%. Like I said, lets see how the weigh in goes.
Los Angeles, California - The weights are in for HBO's doubleheader at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. IBF/WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire weighed in at 121.6pounds. Toshiaki Nishioka, who holds the WBC's Diamond title, weighed in at 121.8-pounds.
In the junior welterweight co-feature - Brandon Rios came in at the division limit of 140-pounds and Mike Alvarado weighed in at 139.8-pounds.

Well, Rios is looking a little soft around the middle. Maybe he always looks like that? Its my contention he put on weight, but not really any muscle or did he gain strength. Just weight. Whoop-de-doo!! Does 5 lbs. mean that much? Well, we'll see. Most of the "experts" are going with Rios. I think we see the best Alvarado ever to lace up the mitts. Nice match up.
