Rhodes-Canelo build up

[Deno1986]

R5: 50-44

Similiar pattern unfolding - quiet opening minute until Alvarez starts unloading the bodyshots and uppercut combos. Bodyshots must be starting to take toal on Rhodes who is doing zilch at the mo.

[lefthook82]

Does Canelo seem like he is breathing a bit heavy?

[MR T]

mUCH better from Ryan, a couple of meaty shots....in round 6

[Jon Saxon]

Ryan has to open up, he wont win unless he starts to hit him.

but he's looking better now.

[crusader]

Much better, but Rhodes probably lost the round.

[Deno1986]

R6: 60-53

Rhodes had good start to that round but once again was outworked over the 3 minutes. SA has a lovely left hook to the body.

[hitman_hatton1]

getting worked over in there.

just no answers to this.

cut under the eye now.

[MR T]

I'm hoping Canelo tires!! Definitely not the same fighter on the back foot, when Ryan steps in he has success.

[crusader]

Rhodes doing ok in spots, but he's not winning rounds.

70-62 Canelo

[gobbles]

Seven was probably Ryan's best round, but he still took a beating and his face is a mess now too

[Jon Saxon]

this is one fight where the old Ingle style would have worked.

[Deno1986]

R7: 70-62 SA

SA didn't allow Rhodes to capatilise on any success he had in R6. Hopped on Rhodes straight away with bodyshots and uppercuts. Rhodes landed few nice jabs. Achieiving nothing by switching southpaw.

[gobbles]

Eight was bad for Rhodes. Looking like he will get stopped.

[MR T]

I think Rhodes is more tired, accumulation of shots taking their toll

[Deno1986]

R8: 80-71

Rhodes did nothing in that round. Easy round for Alvarez.

[hitman_hatton1]

scrap going on outside the ring.

[lefthook82]

some good shots from rhodes. canelo took that round off. Next one should be interesting

[Jon Saxon]

he has to lay it all on the line now.

[Deno1986]

R9: 90-80

Rhodes trying to march forward but much of the same again.

[gobbles]

Rhodes is just in survival mode. Throwing nothing.

[MR T]

fight seems to be meandering to a decision, Rhodes seems to kind of accepted it......

[Deno1986]

R10: 100-89 SA

Rhodes can't land more than one punch at a time and Alvarez is still hurling in the combos. Can't help but fell Rhodes is there for the taking in the last two rounds.

[Jon Saxon]

PURE SHITE FIGHT

[Deno1986]

R11: 110-98

Rhodes showing more urgency and landing a bit more but still outworked. Going to be a whitewash by the looks of it.

[crusader]

110-98 Canelo
