Mike Alvarado

By Dan Ambrose: #4 WBO, #10 WBC Brandon Rios (32-2-1, 23 KOs) could find himself in position for world title shot at welterweight if he can get past #10 WBO Mike Alvarado (34-3, 23 KOs) in their rubber match this month on January 24th at the 1stBank Center, in Bloomfield, Colorado, USA.

With Rios’ high rankings, it’s possible he could get moved up a spot or two if he can get past the 34-year-old Alvarado. The sad part about Rios facing WBO champion Manny Pacquiao again is that Rios already fought him in November of 2013 in losing by a lopsided 12 round decision.

By Dan Ambrose: Boxing fans can begin purchasing tickets for the January 24th rematch between Brandon Rios (32-2-1, 23 KOs) and Mike Alvarado (34-3, 23 KOs) for their fight at the 1stBank Center, Bloomfield, in Colorado, USA.

This is the third but likely not the last fight between the two fighters. Both of them appear to be heading downhill in terms of their careers, but it’s still a fight that casual boxing fans will want to watch due to their lack of defensive skills and the tendency of their fights turning into brawls.

By Dan Ambrose: #3 WBO, #9 WBC welterweight contender Brandon Rios (32-2-1, 23 KOs) is calling his January 24th third fight against former WBO light welterweight champion Mike Alvarado (34-3, 23 KOs) “World War III” when the two of them step foot inside the ring at the 1stBank Center, in Bloomfield, Colorado, USA.

The fight is being televised by HBO. There won’t be any titles on the line for the fight.

This fight should prove who the better fighter is of the two. Both guys have won one fight a piece. In theory, we should see who the better guy is between them, but that obviously doesn’t mean this is going to be the last fight between them.

Rios and Alvarado will be facing each other next month on January 24th at the 1stBank Center, in Bloomfield, Colorado, USA. This will be the third fight between them, and likely not the last.

By Dan Ambrose: With the careers of both fighters seemingly going downhill, former WBA lightweight champion Brandon Rios (32-2-1, 23 KOs) and former WBO 140 pound belt holder Mike Alvarado (34-3, 23 KOs) will be facing each other next month in a rubber match on January 24th on HBO at the 1stBank Center, in Bloomfield, Colorado, USA.

It’s pretty much academic that neither of these guys are going anywhere in their perspective divisions. About the best they can hope for is to keep winning long enough to get a crack at Manny Pacquiao.
