I'm Very Nervous About Alvarez vs Rhodes

"Well you should be."

[vxrandall]

there is a bloody good reason that this fight is happening at high altitude - they NEED rhodes to tire!

i expect canelo to fight slow and frustrating for first half of fight.
i also expect him to win a controversial decision thanks to a heavily incentivised judging panel
aint no way GBP/WBC letting that belt leave mexico!

They didn't even know who Rhodes was, let's be frank.

Most Brit fans and writers will tell you he's the real deal. Just never seemed to get the breaks or the luck. He's taken some bad fights over the years.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez of Mexico fights under the Golden Boy Promotions banner. He will be making the first defense of his junior middleweight title Saturday when he takes on Ryan Rhodes of England in Mexico (on HBO). On paper, it seems Alvarez could have an easy time of it.

Sounds like Schaefer's trying to hype this fight up, Canelo's gonna ko this bum!!!

With Perro Angulo sitting ringside it should make Richard even more nervous.Probably foam out the mouth.lol

I think Alvarez will perform better against Rhodes then Hatton, i don't think he respected Hatton but he won't take Rhodes lightly. Alvarez will win by stoppage.

I think he would have had more respect for Hatton than he will for Rhodes because Hatton is a name. I can see him having a complete lack of respect for Rhodes, thinking it'll be easy because he's fought journeyman recently; Rhodes will win this by late stoppage! He hasn't got a chance on points anyway, I know that much.

**** its not a PPV you don't have to sell any buys. If you really are scared of double R, then Canelo is a nobody any way. Double R will stink out the joint like the rest of the stiffs from England. The only one to be respected is Froch. After Saturday we won't have to hear from the ****e boy any more.

I like canelo and wish him the best, but from the footage ive seen of rhodes and canelos poor defense, its looking like a very tough fight for the kid, whats missing with canelo isnt talent he needs a good trainer,I think his trainer doesnt know boxing, he needs a roach or steward , canelos is just too young and green and has bad habits that need fixing that takes time, I feel that he trains himself basically.

Well yeah if he takes Rhodes lightly like he did Hatton, he could well get KTFO, Rhodes has more power than Magic Matthew Hatton.
