I wanna pick Alvarado but he just gets hit so fukking much, even when he's attempting to 'box'. Marquez is a low volume puncher though. So, I can see Alvarado taking rounds on work rate alone. :patrice:

I can't sit here and say Alvarado is average. He's a legit B level fighter. shyt, nikkas were having hissy fits whenever Paulie is mentioned as an average fighter and he's never beaten anybody on the same level as Rios or Herrera.

The thing is Alvarado has decent skills, but just comes off as a glorified tough man. He can brawl and box at a decent rate, but he doesn't have any attribute that's at an elite level. He doesn't have elite speed or power, but he's not slow or feather fisted. He's no sharp shooter, but then he's more accurate than given credit for. He gets hit, but he knows how to defend and take the steam off of punches.

Even though I'm picking Mike to win, I won't be surprised if he loses. JMM is a HOF and legit great fighter. Usually guys like that find a way to win, but I just think that this time he's in over his head a bit.
