Former Lightweight champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios makes a special appearance at the ESPN studios with trainer Robert Garcia on “ESPN Nacion” with hosts: David Faitelson and Carolina Padron for his upcoming exciting rematch against Mike Alvarado of their 2012 Fight of the Year-nominated fight. Rios-Alvarado II will take place, Saturday, March 30 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nev. And will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
This is the fight were you will get your monies worth. If I had to bet on whom will win I will say Mike Alvarado by knock out. If you are going to bet, make sure that you always bet with a reputable and established sports betting site – even if you think you can get better odds elsewhere.
When it comes to boxing betting markets the first is the win-draw-win one, which can sometimes offer gamblers a reasonable bet, but often suffers from one-sided matches between fighters with radically opposite odds. The more popular type of boxing bet is round betting, which involves betting on the round that the match will end in.
Of course, alongside these traditional ways of betting on boxing, nowadays you can also combine the two in a more modern way – by playing a boxing themed slot like Rocky at an online casino, like http://www.jackpotcitycasino.com. This non-progressive slot has five reels and 25 pay lines, and it is also a video slot – featuring iconic scenes from the different Rocky films. This slot also has a massive maximum jackpot of $200,000, and with the actual Rocky reel icon serving as the wild symbol (thus standing in for any other except the scatter or bonus ones to form a winning reel) you have a great shot at securing a payout from this game – something that isn’t always true when it comes to betting on boxing matches (unless you are backing Rocky of course).

The beat goes on. Riverside’s Chris Arreola will fight Bermane Stiverne of Las Vegas on Saturday, April 27 at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. With the winner guaranteed to immediately fight for the World Championship.
Arreola was forced to postpone a previously scheduled fight with Stiverne due to illness, the crowd-pleasing heavyweight was thrilled with the new date.
“The illness that forced me to pull out of the fight was unfortunate but I am very happy to once again be healthy and thankful to my promoter Goossen Tutor and HBO for rescheduling my fight,” stated Arreola. “Being less than 100% against an opponent like Stiverne and in a fight of this magnitude would not have been the best decision for my career. I’m back in training camp, completely healthy and fully motivated for April 27.”
In addition, being showcased that night will be Olympian twin brothers from Norwalk, CA, Javier (13-1, 5KOs), the 2008 US Olympian and Oscar Molina (2-0, 1KO), the 2012 Mexican Olympian. Also featured in a 4-round bout, the pride of the Ten Goose Gym, up-and-coming Juan Funez (1-0) of Van Nuys.
