WelshDevilRob Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 A potential fight is inching closer between Mexico's Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and British boxer Ryan Rhodes. WBC President Jose Sulaiman announced in Mexico City that Rhodes has been appointed as the mandatory challenger to Alvarez's WBC junior middleweight title. Sulaiman hinted that he was going to make this ruling a few days. Alvarez won the vacant title by way of decision over another British fighter, Matthew Hatton.

brooklynbrawler Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Good to hear, Rhodes deserved the shot 1000 times more than Hatton did, particularly at the weight, I don't expect the outcome to be too much different, but Rhodes deserves the shot for stringing together some good results.

I'm total agree with you, Rhodes deserved the world fight already after the Jamie Moore destruction !! I was present at Bolton and i was impressed from Rhodes..

The_budweiser Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I think if Rhodes comes up with the right game plan he may cause Alvarez a lot more problems that Hatton. Alvarez more the fight went on with Hatton his hands dropped more and more, as there were tiring. Alvarez looked more dangerous early on v Hatton when he let his heavy hands then they got weaker more the fight went on. If rhodes can move a lot in the early rounds counter punching and come on strong at the end when Alvarez tires he may make it to a points decision but whether he'll get the decision in Mexico is another thing. I wonder if Rhodes experience will give him the upper hand ? Alvarez SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
