    I haven't seen the whole fight yet but looking at the highlights below it looked to be a decent scrap. Alvarez bombing away on Mosley. Flashy combinations. And Shane's chin still seems to be concrete.

    I know it was almost a shutout for Alvarez but do you think its' worth to rewatch this one?

    canelo did successfully fight through the cut, which is a valuable experience.

    It was pretty one sided, but Mosely had some moments

    Didn't really show me much besides Canelo couldn't ko Mosley even though some of those body shots were folding him in half after unloading his best punches with Mosley not defensing any of the incoming shots for 12 rds.
    Nothing learned in this fight; Mosley never looks that good at 154, hes got an iron chin, Canelo has stamina issues, he fights sporadically. Nothing new learned here.
    It was actually disturbing to watch Mosley sit there and eat those incredible bombs for 12 rds like that with no regard.

    Decent?!?? The fight sucked money dick!! Mosley was a punching bag, very frustrating performance. That was the fight that made me never want to see Mosley in a ring ever again. That cheating ******* aint nothing without his steroids.

    Mosley lost comprehensively (think I had it 10 rounds to 2 for Canelo), but he was always firing back and didn't seem fazed by anything Canelo threw at him at any point in the fight and Mosley still showed flashes of his handspeed and boxing IQ.

    I honestly think he'll fair a lot better against Malignaggi though.
