This is one of the best fights at 175. Winner will be Adonis Stevenson's mando and possibly his biggest challenge since Fonfara. I'm looking forward to this fight. I'd normally tend towards Alvarez but Chilemba destroyed a top prospect (Lepikhin) with a shutout earlier this year so we know he's in good shape. I'd be cautious to bet against him. Chilemba is a little taller than Alvarez (2'') while Alvarez has a better reach (2''), they are both natural LHW's, they are both in their prime. They are not knock out artists. There's a good chance this fight will go full 12 rounds with a lot of close rounds. But the question of who will emerge victorious remains to be answered on 11/28. How do you see this fight?
Think it will be a fairly boring fight but Alvarez on points but Chilemba will do enough to claim he won.
Ugly fight, with Alvarez having the deer in the headlights look on his face a few times after Chilemba puts some work on him in the pocket. Draw, with most guys having it 7-5 or 8-4 for Chilemba.
I like and rate Chilemba. He was robbed against Big Mouth Bellew in their first fight and I heard that was also the case against Oosthuizen too. He seems to be improving all the time as well. Alvarez is good but I thought Ranoni Prieto fought like a brain damaged caveman in their fight and made things much easier than they should've been for Alvarez. All those wild swings he was loading up with emptied his gas tank way too quickly.
I think Alvarez will do it. But "The cherry popper" Chilemba does like his records pure and untainted like Alvarez... Will be interesting
Poll results are very balanced so far, evenly split between Alvarez and Chilemba. I think we will have a good RBR thread on 11/28. Let's hope there's no controversy with the result.
