    I'm hyped for this one. Both guys can bang and I think we could be in for a potential barn burner maybe FOTY.

    Rhodes to shock the world.

    I honestly don't get why so many people think Rhodes is going to get it done here.

    Alvarez is still very green, has vulnerabilities. Rhodes is tough and can really bang. I fancy him to pull through adversity to win a mid-round stoppage a bit like the Lemieux stoppage. Their styles will clash IMO so both will end up in a toe-to-toe war, someone will be end up knocked out.

    Rhodes can really do it.

    I wouldn't mind seeing it. Alvarez seems like a hype job to me.

    Alvarez is only 20 years of age! Rhodes is a grown man and knows this business well, it's boy vs man.

    I want Alvarez to either prove himself or get ktfoed but I am SICK of reading about this guy ever time I turn around.

    canelo is good for boxing. he brings the people out and puts asses in seats. but he's young, he's green and he gets hit. a lot of people are sleeping on rhodes. he has the experience to really put a real hiccup in saul's rise to super stardom.

    i'm very much looking forward to this fight.

    I could see this fight being a war due to the stylistic clash, both like to trade punches. Rhodes has a great chance early on to rattle Alvarez.
