Rios (31-0-1, 22 KOs), 26, of Oxnard, Calif. versus Alvarado (33-1, 23 KOs), 32, of Denver, Colorado. The bout took place on October 14. 2012 – CARSON, Calif.
Great Fight! IMO the ref shoulda given Alvarado a standing 8 but oh well.
That was the best boxing match I’ve seen in a long, long time.
Nice boxing match. I agree, should’ve been a standing 8. I don’t think it would’ve ended any differently though, Alvarado wasn’t hurting Rios at all but any time Rios landed clean, Alvarado backed up. Big difference in power.
Good scrap!♠
Toe 2 toe war – FOTY candidate?
He was Done!!!! he was looking for the ref to stop the fight…broken
Long live BOXING on MMATKO…thanks Bruno!
Damn that was a great fight>>>I agree with the 8 count but whaddya gonna do??!!
Thanks Bruno!
The FOTY!
Classic along with Morales/Barrerra, Gatti/Ward, Castillo/Corrales, and Marquez/Vasquez!
great fight !! hope they do Rios vs Matthysse next
yeesh, I can only imagine trying to score that fight – I’ll bet they were happy to see the fight stopped.
Thank you Bruno!! I wasn’t sure how I was going to find this fight. It’s been 3 or 4 years now and you’re still the man!
mmmmmmmm mmmmm thats boxing right there,the real deal.Love it.
Is this sped up or is it something in my computer’s settings?
Looks like 1 second is diminished approximately 25%.
Even the corner men are fast.
nice fight, this fight reminded me the good old times when boxing was great.
that was a good stoppage this type of fighter don’t show weakness, when you see them hurt they are almost dead. Alvarado fought his heart out i hope he come back stronger.
Adrian Broner vs Brnadon Rios now! or rios vs marcos maidona
thanks , grat stuff
