“I think Brandon will obviously win. I think he’s a better fighter than Mike. I think his strength will be what is going to change the fight. Brandon’s relentless; doesn’t stop,” predicted Garcia before Rios’ took on Mike Alvarado.
Garcia was right. Rios scored a seventh round knockout win over Alvarado at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.

goes on.”
Rios is definitely becoming a fight sensation. This year, we have seen two young fighters making it to the top, Danny Garcia and Brandon Rios. Both of them have exhibited their fight talents in a way that no one can deny the fact that they need are the future
