Exactly. He's still a kid and he's still learning, but at world title level it's definitely an unforgiving learning curve. Rhodes should give him a test, but the general consensus is that Alvarez will prevail, and I imagine his handlers will be looking for him to go through two or three fights like this before throwing him at the really big dogs out there.
