I'm sure Floyd and Sr have looked at the Trout fight which confirmed what they already knew. Alvarez has to plant his feet to get anything off. Its simply a perfect fight for Floyd. He will use his aging legs for the first half of the fight countering and landing perfect lead rights, many of the short hook variety every time Alvarez is planting to throw a shot. I think he may cruise over the last 4 or 5 rounds.

In fairness to Alvarez he could be catching Floyd at a perfect time. His youth and sheer will could be key. If he can get to Floyds body who knows. It would be even better for him if he gets an 18 foot ring. I'm sure people thought Lamotta was to crude for Robinson in their second go. Lamotta actually out jabbed Ray. Now I don't see that happening here and unfortunately for Alvarez he kinda has to go for the knock out or at least not wait for it to come.
