This is actually a good fight for both. A step up for Alvarez without facing the established names against a guy that is unorthodox, a fight that Rhodes will see as winnable against a young man that isn't established himself. I don't think Rhodes will have the power he has at domestic/european level here. There are signs of that in past fights, 12 with Coyle, 9 rounds to get rid of Woolcombe. I do think Alvarez will walk him down. The 18 months of doing **** all won't help either at this stage in Rhodes career. That was a travesty.
Dft, I wasn't suggesting Alvarez would win, only that it's a step up without veig ludicrously difficult...IMO :good
