Can't agree. Of course Alvarez is not a genius. But he has solid defense, stiff jab, good chin and decent speed. I don't see him as a future dominant champ but he clearly deserves a title shot.
Respect to Jean Pascal. He has a strong will and a rock solid chin. But he had no plan going into this fight. He tried to make a brawl, but it wasn't enough. Yes, he caught Alvarez two times but Alvarez definitely knows how to weather the storm.Comment

I like Pascal but he looked like a near-shot fighter tonight. The speed, reflexes and athleticism are a thing of the past. He can take a punch and still has a little bit of crack in that right but its not enough against anything above c-level talent. Alvarez looked solid, not spectacular. I'm sure it was awkward fighting his friend in there. I don't see enough to be overly impressed but if he can avoid Stevenson's lightning left, he may make it interesting. We'll see...Comment
