What if Ryan Rhodes wins??

Exactly. So really who cares what Rhodes excuse. Bottom line is he's getting smashed

Everyone can talk good s**t, I bet five bucks Rhodes makes it at least eight rounds plus. It's going to be competitive, however Alvarez likes his competition.

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.

Hatton managed to go 12 cuz he did like his brother and held and clinched every time Alvarez opened up. N'dou has never been stopped in his whole career. So no shame in Alvarez not stopping him. Rhodes I think is the biggest fighter Alvarez has faced. And he fights nothing like Hatton.

Alvarez is made for Rhodes. Golden Boy ain't the smartest matchmakers with their prospects - Jacobs-Pirog/Maidana-Ortiz. Rhodes would murder Hatton. If he didn't need two KOs in Mexico he'd have a good chance.

He sure was, huh?

Good call Rhun. Rhodes cruised past the 8 round mark. You're now on my list of people getting destroyed in the prediction comp.

One of those fights I'd have called as PTS to Alvarez as I wasn't confident enough of a UD. Check out the SD I'm going to have on Haye v Klitschko in two weeks.

And in terms of Rhodes' competitiveness VD...maybe not that competitive but he did consistently cushion Alvarez' fists with his face, which is still a contribution to the fight.
