I think this is a great fight. Considering Matthew Hatton managed to go 12 rounds reasonably comfortably, as did Lovemore Ndou before him you'd have to assume this is going to be a long distance fight.
Canelo is no superstar inside the ring, no matter what his fanbase is outside it. He looks well below the level of even a Chavez Jr to me.
My feeling is that it will be a very competitive 12 round fight with Alvarez winning a disputed decision, much like Alexanders win over Kotelnik.
But at this stage in Alvarez's career its a tough matchup for the kid.
