Alvarez by decision

I expect this to be a really exciting fight. But as far as how it goes, Canelo is the superior boxer, has better speed and a bigger heart. Even though he is going to face a bigger, stronger man and will be fighting at his heaviest weight, by far, I think he'll turn back a stiff challenge for Chavez and win a decision.
