Fighting someone like that is nothing but a waste of time. Anyway, I think Rhodes will be game. But I see him taking a beating and stopped around the 7th or 8th
pretty harsh i think

rhodes is more than a worthy challenger, his win over moore stands out but he is in very good form

its also a little harsh suggesting matthew hatton didnt try and win

Rhodes can also punch and alvarez has been shaken up before

I never said he wasn't worthy. I think he will be game and go some rounds. But I can't see a guy who loss to Gary Lockett and who's best days are behind him winning this

And hugging every time your opponent gets close, going down on purpose from a glancing blow to get your opponent DQ'ed while occasionally throwing a wide hail punch ain't really trying to win. He was there to go 12. And that's it

I think Rhodes will make the 12 rounds, but he will lsoe clearly

He should never have been fighting at 160, i,e Gary Lockett, Lockett is naturally 20 pounds heavier than Rhodes. All Rhodes losses have been at 160, he is undefeated at 154
