Rhodes-Canelo build up

[Deno1986]

I'm still hanging in there. Starting to get bright out.

[REAL_DEAL]

come on rhodes

[MR T]

Bit worried for Ryan if he did win, the crowds mad!!

[Deno1986]

Alvarez looking extremely relaxed. Rhodes looking focused/tense.

[Fatsam]

Hope rhodes can survive the early onslaught.

[MR T]

cmon Ryan, see out the first 3.....seems like such a good guy, would love it if he could do it...

[MR T]

Alvarez a lot more patient than I expected, Ryan cant let him get on top, has to reply when he can....get respect early...first round 10 9 canelo

[Deno1986]

R1: Canelo

Nothing happened in first 90 seconds. Canelo connected with a few body shots and then landed a nice hook and uppercut with 30 seconds left. Rhodes landed nothing of any note.

10-9 SA

[MR T]

Canelo round 2. rhodes a bit tentative, but could be just settling in, working him out....

[gobbles]

Rhodes just seems to be waiting. Can't see the point of all the switching.

[Deno1986]

R2: 20-18 SA

Another quiet start to the round. Rhodes trying to establish jab with no success. Two quick flurries and two striaght rights from Alvarez enough to give him the round. Rhodes still hasn't landed anything of any note.

[hitman_hatton1]

my feed is garbage.

alvarez in control by the sounds of it though.

[lefthook82]

wow, an ingle style fighter that can switch hit somewhat effectively. Still losing but the switching is working. Canelo doesnt really seem to know what to do

[Deno1986]

R3: 30-27 SA

Rhodes a bit more active and gets some success but still not enough to win the round as Alvarez is outpunching him and counter punching nicely.

[MR T]

yeah, im still not sold on alvarez though, fights in straight lines a bit. 3 up however

[hitman_hatton1]

good counters from alvarez.

not giving rhodes an inch is he. :(

[MR T]

Rhodes down, seems ok, getting disheartened though surely

[gobbles]

Dave Coldwell - "we don't mind about points" !!

50-14 power shots landed

[Fatsam]

"Not worried about points" I think his corner just said, maybe hoping to wear alvarez down to go for a late stoppage ?

[Deno1986]

R4: 40-35 SA

Rhodes jabbing nicely at start but SA ups the pace at 1:30 and lands vicious combos to head and body. Rhodes down from shot to temple, may have been slightly off balance.

[hitman_hatton1]

ouch.

not good.

just can't deal with this at the minute.

[lefthook82]

i hope canelo doesn win in the next 2 rounds. I swerved an 11/4 bet on saul 1-6 and I need for it to not come in. Good knockdown

[MR T]

Looks tough for Ryan, isn't really committing to his work but kind of understandable

[gobbles]

very one-sided

[crusader]

50-44 Canelo
