Rios vs Alvarado 2 results and LIVE online fight coverage on HBO

Get your affairs in order, grab some food and strap yourselves in because tonight (March 30, 2013) a combat sports BANGFEST will erupt within the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada..

After putting on one of 2012's most insane boxing slugfests, junior Welterweight standouts Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado will lock horns once again later this evening at the Mandalay Bay, after "Bam Bam" stopped "Mile High" in seven the first time around.

MMAmania will deliver LIVE coverage of the bout, starting with the HBO broadcast at 10:15 p.m. ET.

With both men known primarily for their resilience and reckless abandon, most expected the first clash between the then-unbeatens to be something special. Judging by the general consensus afterward, most of which comprised either stunned silence or some variation of "holy f**k," it's safe to say that those expectations were fulfilled nicely.

Their 12-round rematch is for the interim WBO Junior Welterweight belt.

In addition, Colombian bruiser Breidis Prescott will face unbeaten Nebraskan knockout artist Terence Crawford after former's original opponent, Russian standout Khabib Allakhverdiev, pulled out on short notice.

Check out quick results and play-by-play coverage below.
