"Canelo" Alvarez vs. Ryan Rhodes on HBO Saturday June 18th

Like I stated he has the POTENTIAL. Who in recent memory at 20 looks so seasoned and poised with the total package? Kids got the best upside I'v seen in ages

I missed the Broner litzau, Broner knocked him out 1st round? Wow didnt see that coming.

Broner jumped on Litzau a minute or so into the 1st round, got him pinned up against the ropes, and knocked him out, it was a bit of a shock, because I thought Litzau would do better, maybe even win.

I guess we'll have to wait a while to see Broner get his ass handed to him. :(

Yeah I was hoping Litzau would win too, was it just a big punch that put him loopy or what? Saw that it was very close to the end of the round , was it a good stoppage?

haha, doofus, havent heard that one in awhile. I agree he is a bit goofy. He doesnt have to worry about getting brain damage though, I think he had a lil before even lacing up a glove.

I've seen Alvarez maybe 5 or more times now and he is definitely getting better each time he fights.

Shame Rhodes couldn't hang in there, thought he gave it his all, I don't remember him trying to hold on once. Shame he couldn't get more punches off.

You can't forget just how young that kid is, people will go on about his record, but he is moving up levels quickly now and fighting people at least with enough heart to make him work.

I don't want to jump on the band wagon, but this kid is gonna be great.

I love his style, reminds me of an old school style fighter. Love his right hook to the body then right uppercut combo he throws too.

Even his prime he was never even that good. Mediocre at best. Fact
The man has had past title shots before and has crashed and burn each time. Fact

We now know that prime Rhodes destroys that Mexifraud. Fact.

Show some fucking respect!! Rhodes never had golden ops like golden boys do!!!
Rhodes showed awareness and slickness with Alvarez.
I always give both winner and loser credit.

Yeah, the stoppage was the right call, Litzau had gotten pounded, was knocked down and defenseless.

Good win for Boner, but I can't wait to see this mo-fo get clowned.

Getting KTFO, might actually improve Litzau's IQ.

BTW, Litzau was winning the round before getting KTFO.

Spirited showing by Rhodes there, he did us proud. I think he can get another shot at the title from that fight.

Rhodes gave it his best shot and has nothing to be ashamed of, but seriously, what trinket holder at 154 do you think he could actually beat?

BTW, I thought Rhodes looked an additional 10 years older in the post fight interview.

I do not think he can win but he can earn some money from that performance.

That's a thought, maybe he could get another decent payday or 2 before calling it quits.
