Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado will meet in next Saturday in a bout that many are predicting will be a Fight of the Year contender. As you’ll hear in the below transcript from yesterday afternoon’s media conference call, both are saying all the right things to make you believe the Fight of the Year claims. Alvarado is planning to apply lots of pressure and Rios thrives in trench warfare. This fight will be on the undercard of HBO’s October 13 Boxing After Dark card, main evented by Nonito Donaire vs. Toshiaki Nishioka (10 p.m. ET).
