    Comments Thread For: Rhodes: I Underestimated His Power, Body Shots Got Me

    Arena VFG, Jalisco, Mexico - Junior middleweight contender Ryan Rhodes (45-5, 31KOs) was very gracious in defeat. He was stopped in the twelfth round by WBC champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (37-0, 27KOs) and made no excuses when interviewed at ringside. Rhodes told reporters that he underestimated the power of Alvarez and he was badly hurt by the Mexican champion's body shots.

      I could be wrong, but it sounds like Rhodes was impressed by Alvarez's body shots.

          Ryan did his best, I didn't expect any more. He stayed longer than I thought he would, but he never tested Canelo. Rhodes is like the guy on the job who gets promoted over better workers, he's not turning the promotion down. Rhodes had his payday, while his betters wait around.

                    yeah, he said in the post fight interview that alvarez is a good body puncher. it showed too, soaking up all those shots took a toll on rhodes later on in the fight, horrible gameplan by rhodes.
