Here are some heated words from both fighters leading up to the event:
"Im bigger, stronger and faster than anyone Brandon's been in the ring with. I'm prepared for whatever comes my way, me intending on this fight ending before the round twelve bell rings. There will definitely be someone exiting the ring with that '0' gone and it won't be me". ~ Mike Alvarado.
“I’ve trained hard for this fight, everyone's saying how hard Mike hits. I can’t WAIT to get hit by Mike Alvarado! I’ve been throwing nothing but bombs and hard shots in anticipation of an all-out war on Saturday night. There won’t be any of this pitty-pat stuff, we’re gonna FIGHT and I intend to win by knockout because that’s what the fans want”. ~ Brando Rios
