    Alvarado No Loooooooooooonger has the STOMACH for the Fight...Dude Wasn't Even the Least Bit Competitive Last Night...



    It's Not like REED Expected Alvarado to Win, or had High Hopes for Him, but @ the Same Time, he Could've Put Forth MORE of an Effort than What we Saw...

    agREED, but I think it's possible that both he and his team believed Rios had diminished just as much as he did so it would still be close.

    Alvarado should quit, but that'll likely mess him up even more.

    Wouldn't have even been a trilogy if Rios hadn't underestimated Alvarado in the rematch.

    Rios thought he would walk through Alvarado easily in the rematch, and came in unprepared.

    In the first fight, and on Saturday when Rios actually trained hard, we saw he's clearly better than Mediocre Mile High.

    Damn, hard fight to watch. Looked like Alvarado went in there like some S&M addict who thought he deserved a beating because "I've been a bad boy lately".

    He couldn't pull the trigger at all, like his arms were paralyzed or something.

    Poor Mile High Mike. Yeah, it wasn't a fight at all, just a completely 1 sided beating.

    Alvarado really was a "punching bag bro" in this fight.

    This is off-base. First fight could have gone either way as both had their moments and both were hurt several timed, plus the stoppage raised some questions

    Bullshit. Rios had Alvarado gone on his feet in the first fight. It was stopped a few seconds prematurely, but make no mistake, Alvarado was out of it and a few moments away from getting stopped legitimately.

    Alvarado isn't a guy who recovers well once he's SERIOUSLY hurt.
