Brandon Rios won the rubber match against Mike Alvarado in dominant fashion with a stoppage after three rounds in Broomfield, CO Saturday night. Rios (33-2-1, 24 KO’s) was all over Alvarado (34-4, 23 KO’s) throughout the brief fight, dropping the hometown fighter in the third before the corner of Alvarado stopped it prior to the bell for the fourth round.
Rios was deadly accurate with both hands and did major damage with uppercuts. No matter what the California fighter threw, it seemed to land flush on Alvarado, who disappointed his home fans by retiring for the second time against this opponent.
