40 year old v's a 21 year old =

I usually look at fights objectively in the days and months before they actually happen so this is what I will say without analyzing the fight at hand, I hope Shane pulls it off not because I can't stand Alvarez but because he needs to straighten up, fly right and wake the hell up. He is good but he is retarding his growth as a fighter. He may even feel embarrassed losing to someone deemed as a shot fighter and if you look at Shane's see saw performances, he has gone from one extreme to the other but he is still capable of surprising everyone. Like I said I am not being objective and e all have sentimental favorites but this young champion has got to fight better opposition if he wants to be a true star in his division and grow properly.

Shane said he had achilles problem against Manny, so this time it will be different. If he loses this, I think he will retire as his son is the same age as his opponent.
