which will be fun to watch (as long
as it doesn't feature long-term damage
to both fighters) - which is always a
possibility in a fight like this....

that said, everyone is picking it to be
a slug-fest fight of the year candidate, but
I wouldn't be all that surprised if Alvarado
found a groove to flat-out outbox Ruslan
and prevent him from getting off anything big....

But with Ruslan, one flush power punch can change
the whole complexion of the fight...and there will
be at least a few spots where I see Alvarado just
standing toe-to-toe and throwing, like he did v. Rios
He's better at boxing than fighting, but he really
loves to fight.
