FNF: Mike Alvarado versus Brandon Rios I

http://youtu.be/5MH8kq8wGOo
It's like Christmas Eve at For The Suits headquarters. Why you ask? The excitement could be down to the fact it's Friday night, or the three cups of tea slammed back one after the other. But if you're a boxing fan, you know exactly what is up. Tomorrow evening all us boxing heads are going to be treated to Mike Alvarado and Brandon Rios mixing it up in their second encounter. So the Friday Night Fight this evening is their first encounter in its entirety. It didn't last too long but they managed to pack about 24 rounds of action into the six it did last. If you had plans for tomorrow evening, cancel them.

On The Warpath

How often does a fight often, and let's be honest with ourselves here, live up to the hype? The hype machines at companies like Top Rank and Golden Boy have become quite skilled at polishing a turd, selling lackluster fights to fans as if this showdown between two mediocre fighters is the end all and be all in the history of boxing. And then there's the fights that we ourselves as fans don't need million dollar PR campaigns and HBO specials to get excited for. Mike Alvarado versus Brandon Rios was just that type of fight.
