The highly anticipated rematch will take place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 30, and will be televised on HBO’s Boxing After Dark. The Road to Rios/Alvarado II special will feature a look back at their thrilling October contest as well as all-new content including portraits of both men’s journeys from hardscrabble neighborhoods to the highest level of the boxing world. |
