Marquez decisions Alvarado,boxing challenge

Juan Manuel Marquez was simply a cut above Mike Alvarado and grabbed a clear cut unanimous decision at the Fabulous Forum.
Marquez was able to take Alvarado and make him revert from his normal attacking skills and made him tentatively box from the outside.
Each fighter scored a knockdown with Marquez scoring his in the 8th and Alvarado returning the favor in the 9th.
The bout was pretty pedestrian for eight rounds,but with Alvarado needing a KO to win,the Denver native stepped up the aggression for the final four rounds and turned them into a highly entertaining scrap.
I scored the bout 117-109 for Marquez,who moves to a possible fifth bout with Manny Pacquiao with the victory.

In the boxing challenge,I added one point to my lead over R.L.Malpica to extend it to 33-31.
I earned two points for Marquez's unanimous decision win,with R.L.earning one point for the Marquez victory.
Each of us picked up one point for Viktor Postol's knockout over Selduk Aydin in a dull undercard card that I find surprising as an HBO bout....
