Daniel Geale @RealDealGeale & Mike Alvarado @MileHighMike303

In Germany, Daniel Geale (28-1, 15 KOs) of Australia pulled off the upset of hometown hero Felix Sturm to unify two alphabet belts in a split decision, something hard to earn on the road. Now Geale has done it twice, having also scored a split-decision win against Sebastian Sylvester in Germany in May 2011 to win his other belt. 

Geale-Sturm was an excellent fight and a very close one, and now Geale, like Golovkin, is looking for a big fight in the future. Denver's Mike Alvarado (33-0, 23 knockouts) will face Rios (30-0-1, 21 KOs) in a junior welterweight bout on Oct. 13 outdoors at the Home Depot Center near L.A. They kicked off promotion for the fight Monday with super bantamweights Nonito Donaire and Toshiaki Nishioka. We will preview Andre Ward Vs Chad Dawson ThaBoxingvoice.com
