Mike Alvarado beat Brandon Rios in a fight of the year candidate, but while Rios got the money fight with Manny Pacquiao, Alvarado gets to fight in his hometown against Ruslan Provodnikov.
Provodnikov lost a narrow decision to Tim Bradley in another fight of the year candidate.
Fist will be flying in this one.
Congrats to @MileHighMike303 for agreeing to terms for an Oct 19 match against @RuslanProvod on @HBO at Denver's 1st Bank Center .@trboxing
