    Rhodes has a chance here IMO, like someone else said if he survives the early onslaught I think he can take a decision

    theres no way he gets a decision in mexico. he has to stop him.

    its a stupid move from Alvarez backers the WBC because the outcome of this fight will be one of

    a) Rhodes wins by KO
    b) Rhodes is robbed and Alvarez looks like **** to all the fans
    c) Rhodes makes Alvarez look awful but still wins a close UD

    About time some luck come Rhodes way , he deserves his shot at the title. His ring Savvy maybe the key to victory;)

    Rhodes has a 40% chance of winning this. Regardless of where the fight's held, he HAS to go for it at this late stage in his career - this is the opportunity the Spice Boy's been after all his life. Let's face it, his career has floundered, he'd be crazy to turn this shot down.

    Ryan has a decent chance at winning this fight, hope he does but will be difficult as people have said already he is the underdog

    Rhodes had a history of pulling out of high risk low reward fights. Not the case with this one.

    I'm going to reserve judgement until we have a better idea of money etc. Facts are Rhodes is good and wound give this dude a good fight, but successions of pull outs and inactivity give me no confidence of it happening.
    However I will be cheering on our spice boy

    A zigga zig aaaa

    He will get decent money. As mandatory he is guarenteed 25% in purse bids so for them to cut a deal before bids there going to need to offer him good cheddah as everyone is aware of the cash he makes from ticket sales, HBO and Mexican TV.

    Is he mandatory though?
     
  13. Happy days!

    Ryan can pull this off. He may need a stoppage to win but he is more than capable of getting one.
