    Round 1

    Álvarez is circling left and denying the Yıldırım glove-touch with a stiff jab into his opponent's wrists, nudging it aside with a non-verbal "GTFO with that". Álvarez is already whipping big hooks around Yıldırım's earmuffs, scoring partially on his ear. Low slung left hook on the body from Álvarez elicits a warning from the ref - grazed on the cup. Álvarez doubles a jab into the folded and bunched forearms of Yıldırım before dropping a straight right cross into the navel. Quick hook around the right glove at mid-range by Álvarez. Nice body hook by Álvarez. Yıldırım just pawing jabs, takes another stiff right downstairs. Yıldırım roping out slow jabs past the head, Álvarez easily slipping them. Álvarez is dancing to his left a few steps and then able to drop anchor comfortably, feinting and ripping hooks on the body to hold Yıldırım outside.

    10-9 Álvarez

    There is an almost pathetic gulf of class here.

    What's to enjoy....unless Yildrim starts doing something...and even then it's going to be a one sided beat down

    Yildirim's trainer yelling out instructions and punches but his fighter not hearing anything. He's tight and will do what comes naturally.

    That shift-in uppercut was beautiful.
