The Official Canelo Alvarez-Alfredo Angulo RBR & Discussion Thread

[The Problem Child]

what will you think about the boy if he breaks down the man?

That he is officially a man.

[ColdBlooded]

I find this a tough fight to call. Angulo is very durable, hits hard, and applies relentless pressure. Given that Alvarez has shown stamina issues in the past, that could make it interesting. But on the other hand, Alvarez is a very skilled counterpuncher and can punch. So can Angulo pressure Alvarez without getting beaten up in the process? And can Alvarez take Angulo's pressure?

alvarez's stamina is downright terrible and his chin still has a question mark on it. and he's not this master boxer everyone seems to think he is, i'm looking forward to how he will deal with angulo's pressure. i don't think highly of angulo but i have him by ko or stoppage.

This is a very good card. I'm ordering it.

What do you guys make of Canelo's body language during his stare down? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it looks like he's not asserting himself as the Alpha male, whereas El Perro is.

Marcos Maidana makes it clear that he is the Alpha male. Adrien Broner is subconsciously submissive by looking away. Broner infers that Maidana is ****ing with him by the reactions of the people in front of him, yet he pretends to not know what is going on -- behavior of a Beta male.

Donaire clearly demonstrated he was the alpha dog as Rigondeaux couldn't even look him in the eyes. We saw how that worked out for him. I think your reading too much into that, fights are won in the ring

Not really.

Rigo looks like the Alpha male in that picture. He's not even phased. Donaire, however, looks like an insecure dog who barks a lot to intimidate the calm, confident dog.

LOL @ this poll compared to the -900 odds for Canelo. Someone is going to be very wrong come Sunday morning.
