Nelo b Bivol Politics

I know at the weigh in they shouted out Canelo’s creds, only unified super middleweight champ, repeat the last name Alvarez, Alvarez, etc and rightfully so, but then they jumped to a wide pan view of the stage and then in the background you barely heard in a soft dismissive tone “and now to the scale the defending champ Dimitry Bivol”. I thought that was very unsportsmanlike. Was blatant and tacky. Bivol weighed in first which is not customary of a champion. Will be interesting to see if Bivol the belt holder has to enter the ring first also? I hope Canelo has too much respect for tradition of the sport to let that happen. I don’t think any fighter should have to wait in the ring for an extended period of time while their opponent does a long winded entrance. Some people are waiting 15-20mins. Shameful. I’m not a fan of all the pomp and circumstance entering the ring. Fight night should be business time. Time for hype is over. Sick and tired of some singer lip syncing poorly on the way to the ring for ten minutes or more. All the human interest video packages need to go away also. There will be three anthems already. ( unless they decide to mute the Russian anthem ) Anyway, let’s just get it on for once. Damn well said Brother!!

Let's just enjoy the fight and let it play out first, before complaining about a robbery and coming up with excuses for a possible Bivol loss. :lol1:

Well, possibly somewhat, but I think the more direct issue will simply be that the Mexican holidays and boxing n general are worth $ billions to the Nevada economy and having a Mexican boxing superstar makes a substantial contribution to that. Very true My friend
