"Canelo" Alvarez vs. Ryan Rhodes on HBO Saturday June 18th

[Spicoli]

Canelo trying to set traps on the ropes trying to take advantage of Rhodes over committing

Also I think he's looking for that second wind a bit. He needs to set all this up

[Spicoli]

Rhodes right eye just went to shit

[bigge233]

Now he's just landing at will, i feel like he could easily put him away

Yeh. He's got the showcase here, he should go for the statement stoppage big time.

[Spicoli]

Time to close the show...its been there for awhile. Alvarez doesn't set up attack well...he fights in spurts but its working wonders vs a Rhodes

[bigge233]

why did rhodes even show up, he should have just quit on his stool... Yeah he's getting outclassed bad but he should at least try and win the fight. Even if he's trying to just survive the 12 rounds he's going about it horribly.

[bigge233]

That tko could have happened 5 rounds ago.... anyway, that was a beautifully fought fight by Canelo and the kid totally outclassed his competition. Granted, his competition couldn't have fought that fight any worse

[Memphis]

I thought Rhodes would get battered but I thought he'd get battered trying to win. I cant believe I stayed up for that, I thought Rhodes would have his moments but the most agressive thing he did all night was refuse to wear the Corona cap

I didn't think this would go more then about 8 rounds, if it's any consolation to Rhodes, he's managed to survive a pretty good shellacking.

I believe Canelo is more beloved/popular in Mexico than Chavez Jr. is.

I don't know about the stoppage, but whatever, Rhodes had no chance anyway.

Good performance by Canelo, I believe there's a lot more talent there than what Chavez Jr. brings.
