He said he wanted to use the jab and box/control the fight but got caught in the moment. Plus Rios is a good pressure fighter.
He didn't have the boxing ability to beat Alvarado in a battle of skill. But credit to rios he took some good punches and never looked like being stopped and only his first fight at 140 (only ever seen him once before at 135). Rematch? A confident rios after a win and a more concentrated Alvarado maybe.
