Fight Review: Alvarado v Rios 3

          It is always something special when two warriors have a grudge match to settle the score.  Which is the case in this highly anticipated 3rd fight between Mike 'Mile High' Alvarado (34-3) and Brandon 'Bam Bam' Rios (32-2-1).  Both fighters have added there battles with some of the all-time rivalries in boxing history.  Although both boxers are coming off recent defeats and setbacks, all that can be thrown out the window knowing both will turn in a great and entertaining fight.  Leading up to the first fight, boxing fans relished at the anticipation, thus the case in now this 3rd fight.
          Everyone knows Alvarado must and can outbox Bam Bam, but will he get the urge to trade and give his home town a treat?  Will the warrior in him overtake his game plan, one can only hope.  With Rios winning the 1st fight as both fighters went toe-to-toe, and Alvarado getting the best of Rios in the 2nd fight, by outboxing him, what will this 3rd fight have instore?  Questions will be answered as Mike and Brandon will try to set their careers back on track with a victory this Saturday night.
          Rios will have to engage in a 'closed quarters' fight and exhibit good head movement and deliver body shots and work his way up to the head with hard upper cuts and overhand rights.  As for Alvarado, he must try to duplicate his boxing performance in the 2nd fight, establish his jab, keep lateral movement to get Bam Bam off balance, and deliver hard rights when the chance is there for him.  Despite the game plans, fight fans will be treated, no doubt, to an engaging action packed fight.  Get your popcorn ready for this one. 
           Alavarado vs Rios 3 will be broadcasted on HBO's Boxing After Dark this Saturday January 24th, 2015 at 9:45pm EST/ PST.

PRhyme: DJ Premier, Royce Da 5' 9" & Adrian Younge on Boiler Room


This project captures one of those rare moments when the stars align and everything falls perfectly into place. Royce 5’9″, one of the most technically-advanced MCs in the game paired with DJ Premier who needs no introduction at this point, doing what they do best on a backbone of samples entirely produced by Adrian Younge- the closest thing to a living spring of loops and breaks hip hop may ever get. The result being three masters of their craft combining ingredients for an extraordinary recipe.
Collaborating with each one of them individually was a long time coming, but all three together is simply a blessing. So it was only right for us to shoot at Chung King, one of hip hop’s holy grails, and put together our own dream team of moderators and video/sound team to make this session extra special. The result is one of the most intimate and high caliber rap sessions we’ve had to date, and a marvelous DJ set by Adrian of classic samples, breaks, and loops.
