Round 2
Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
Alvarez wants to establish his jab. He thinks his best bet is to land a hard left hand behind it. Mayweather knows this, though, so he’s using deft footwork to keep his foe off balance.
Even when Alvarez is able to catch flesh with the jab, he’s catching the same thing right back at him. Mayweather is starting to see the pattern, and that’s bad news for Alvarez.
The judges have a difficult time scoring the round. Both fighters had their moments. Alvarez threw and landed more, but Mayweather’s connects seemed more accurate.
10-10 Even
20 -19 Alvarez
