CARSON, CALIF. (August 16, 2012) – The Super Powers of the junior featherweight and the junior welterweight divisions will do more than flex their muscles when they battle for supremacy, mano a mano, in a sensational night of championship boxing.

And in the second main event, former world lightweight champion BRANDON “Bam Bam” RIOS (30-0-1, 21 KOs), from Oxnard, Calif., will take on No. 1 contender “Mile High” MIKE ALVARADO (33-0, 23 KOs) of Denver, where undefeated records and world rankings will be at risk.

It's a really good card.Hopefully it'll be a decent turnout,unlike many fights at this venue which always seem to show a lot of empty seats.

Nishioka vs Donaire should be a cracking fight.

Don't really have much time for Rios, and Alvarado is a pretty terrible boxer, but it should be a competitive bout nonetheless and well worth tuning in for.

Rios v Alvarado has fight of the year written all over it. Both are crude, hard hitting, tough guys with limited defense...should be an all out war.

 

Whilst Donaire v Nishioka is a very good fight it's a huge shame that Nishioka will have been out of action for over a year, which at 36 is a long time for rust to settle in. Donaire v Rigondeaux would have made more sense with the winner to face Nishioka who could have had a bit of a gimme to shake the rust.

----- Why do you asked the impossible?

 

Rig has some promoter/manager problems and may not even be with Top Rank any more. Might as well complain because Donaire ain't fighting Salvador Sanchez.

 

C'mon now, Nishioka is a great fight!

I ask for the best fights, simple as that. The best fighting the best. As I said this is a very good fight, but there is the question mark over The Speed King's long absence from the ring.

 

Rigondeaux has called for the fight repeatedly I think even if he was a free agent he'd snap of Bob's hand to take the fight.
