    Saying Canelo is 100% brown is like saying Mariah Carey is 100% black.

    Saying Canelo is Mexican is like saying Mariah Carey is American!

    Pretty simple, really:deal

    It's not the refree's job to protect the pride of the boxer.

    So you're talking about skin color, not race? Vargas is darker than Alvarez. Does that make him more "Mexican"?

    Maybe Rhodes has been saving up for the 12th for the past 11 rounds.

    Alvarez power isnt what I thought it was but he does have great offensive skills.

    You're absolutely right.

    But Rhodes' hasn't shown the inability to defend himself yet.

    He is just getting outboxed.

    Hyped by who though?

    Certainly not hyped by the Brits given the fact its not on TV here or theres nobody gone to Mexico to support him, maybe hyped by Golden Boy and HBO but everyone knows this is just another punch bag for Canelo, they aren't putting him in with genuine opposition cause he isn't that good.

    Round 11

    Alvarez lands some hard hooks and rights to the face. Rhodes is just taking his whacks and trying to dig his right hook to the body out of the resumed southpaw stance. Alvarez is very patient and economical now, throwing in combination but with LONG breaks in between his spurts of activity. Alvarez dances around and gets right-hooked in the face while sitting against the ropes. Rhodes is pumping his arms at his sides and doing a mini Ali shuffle, gearing up but not attacking. Here are some right jabs by Rhodes. Alvarez hits him in the body, just once. Alvarez stares at him, jabs and then hooks up high. Slow jab by Alvarez. Rhodes doubles his right jab, ducked.

    "close round".

    10-9 Alvarez

    109-99 Alvarez
