It's been announced this week that Mexico's unbeaten WBC Light-Middleweight Champion Saul Alvarez will take on Britain's classy operator Ryan Rhodes.
The contest takes place on June 18 at The Arena Vicente Fernandez Gomez in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico.
The underrated Rhodes (45-4) really has a much better chance of getting an upset than is generally expected across the Atlantic in America and Mexic0. He has never lost at Light-Middlweight, brings a lot of experience and is a savvy and intelligent operator in the ring with a tricky switch-hitting style.
Alvarez (36-0), who is just 20-years-old, is at the early stage of his career and life where he doesn't care - nor does he need to - about what his opponent does. He simply walked through Matthew Hatton (smaller and less superior to Rhodes), not worrying about getting caught as he took an easy 12 points decision.
Can he get away with that against Rhodes or will he be punished?
It's a great clash between youthful exuberance and wise experience and you know what - Rhodes really might just pull it off.
