Thompson is following, either walking in without a jab or putting up a throwaway version just to get Alvarez backing up in straight lines. Thompson stalks Alvarez, nearly trapping him on the ropes but not moving all the way in. Alvarez is coiled and waiting, showing his jab, bluffing readiness with a right hand counter. 10-9 Thompson
No, he doesn't. Lara is more physically gifted than Alvarez, including punching power. Alvarez is just a regular Mexican boxer who tries to box.
thompson was surprised alvarez took his shots in the first round so now he is waiting for alvarez to tire a bit before he launches sustained attacks.......
