Foreman vs Alvarez @ 154?

[Julius Rain]

Who wins and why?

[Pavlik]

Foreman is slick but hittable and hurtable If Saul lands he'll do major damage but if Yuri manages to keep Saul at bay and uses his jabs and straights and not get hit squarely Yuri might just pull it off. Yuri beating Daniel Santos impressed me a lot.

Pavlik - I got Foreman over Alvarez at the moment but I think Alvarez will improve and would beat down Foreman. The sooner they fight the better for Foreman.

An easy win for Alvarez by stoppage. From what I'vs seen of Foreman in his last two outing's he is nothing special. Can't punch, boxes good but no where near where he could upset Alvarez. I am not sold on Alvarez yet but Foreman I just don't think is that good.

It is curious to me that Alvarez is taken so seriously. I don't know a thing about Foreman, and only took the time to watch Alvarez to be conversant here..but he ain't much. He really doesn't look good at all and it has nothing to do with his age. By 20 he should be on top of his game. Watch Chavez or Barrera at 20. With Alvarez, I don't see any skill but punching power and, against a tough determined guy like Hatton, he didn't show any smarts that allow you to time a guy and hurt him.
Which isn't to say that I think Foreman can beat him, because I've never seen Foreman.

I would like to see how Foreman looks coming back from that knee injury. With that being said i think Alvarez might edge him out...maybe, i'm not sure.

Good fight, but I see Alvarez putting a beat down on foreman. Main reason is foremans lack of power. I am not one of these people underating alvarez after the matthew hatton fight. Hatton came to fight that night and put up a damn good show, and still Alvarez won nearly every round. If Alvarez keeps his feet on the ground the man is goin to be frightening in a few years, he's still a boy. And yes even at this age I think he smashes foreman up.

We'll see how Foreman does tomorrow. I am not going to buy that PPV. Actually I dont think that should be PPV. We just had Donaire vs Montiel for free but this is PPV Anyways I am more interested in seeing Foreman tomorrow than Cotto beating up Mayorga.

Alvarez blasts him out in inside of 3. If you can't hurt Alvarez you can't beat him. Foreman can't hurt him.

I don't think he gets him that early, i think Yuri Foreman can mess him about a bit with his movement. But i do think Saul Alvarez walks him down and stops him similar to how Miguel Cotto did.

Yuri Foreman actually has underrated power, believe it or not when he sat down on his punches it had an effect on Daniel Santos. But the trouble is he's constantly on his toes moving around the ring throwing arm punches.

He's getting no power in his punches, and a good pressure fighter can walk him down and walkthrough his punches.

He'd be better served to either learn to get more power while being on the backfoot, or improving his inside game and learn to stand his ground and fight more.

I think Yuri will do even better than that. Yuri took some shots from Cotto I am pretty sure he can take shots from Alvarez too. I am not saying he is better and would win but I think Yuri takes it 12 rounds. Hatton did I think Yuri will too.

Hatton was way out of his depth and against an on form Alvarez hatton performed amazingly well, his 3-4 light punch flurry then move is always effective but the difference was power. If he had power he would have done alot of harm to Alvarez. U gotta b silly to not agree
