Their previous encounters, in 2012 and 2013, were memorable slugfests that had fans on the edge of their seats from the opening bell. Now, they?ll meet in 12-round welterweight showdown before a partisan Alvarado crowd.

Previewing the bout, is the special ?Road to Alvarado-Rios 3,? which replays Saturday, Jan. 24 (11:45 a.m. ET/PT) on HBO and is available on HBO ON DEMAND? and HBO GO?. Following the first Rios-Alvarado fight, Yahoo! Sports wrote, ?Each round was bitterly contested and the advantage would swing from one guy to the other like a pendulum,? adding that it was ?one of the most sensational bouts in a long time.? Opening the telecast, Mexico?s Gilberto Ramirez (30-0, 24 KOs) makes his HBO debut in a ten-round light heavyweight matchup with Russia?s Maxim Vlasov (30-1, 15 KOs). Ramirez, who is moving up in weight to take on Vlasov, relies on knockout power and ring savvy; appearing on HBO Latino in November, he stopped Fulgencio Zuniga in the eighth round. Vlasov has won his last 11 fights. Follow HBO boxing news at hbo.com/boxing, on Facebook at facebook.com/hboboxing and on Twitter at twitter.com/hboboxing.
