Why the consensus that Alvarez beats Angulo?

I thought this was more of a pick em fight? Angulo showed a lot against Lara. Lara is a much better/more athletic fighter than Alvarez. He dominated Trout, while Alvarez had a much closer fight.

I think Angulo wins this. Alvarez may have learned a lot from the Floyd fight, but those lessons aren't gonna be applicable to Angulo. Angulo is an expert at making the ring small, and Alvarez will be happy to engage in spots.

I see Alvarez using much the same strategy that Lara used: Circle, step in with a combo, get out, repeat. The difference is that Alvarez is slower and will be easier for Angulo to catch, though he might be harder to hurt.

I don't see any way in which Alvarez is better than Lara, and he really employs a similar fight strategy. Angulo will also have the kind of size advantage that Alvarez isn't accustomed to.

I won't say Alvarez can't win, but all signs point toward Angulo imo. Should be a great fight too. I see it going the distance and Angulo winning 8-4.

People are overating Angulo because of the Lara fight. Lara dominated except for a few mistakes. Lara is better than Canelo but I think Canelo's style gives Angulo more problems than Lara's style. I covered the details of this in a breakdown of this fight on my site if you;re interested: proboxinganalysis.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/mexico-lindo-y-querido-alvarez-v-angulo
