A Massive Flaw of Canelo Was Exposed Tonight

Post fight storytelling :fing02: Again, Nelo should have went with guys GGG and Bud have feasted on and get credit for doing something special :lol1:

Any half decent defensive fighter will expose this flaw. Trout did. Floyd really did. Lara did. Bivol really did. Yeah, it was exposed but prior to Bivol, only 1 man was able to beat Canelo. Bivol actually threw more punches despite his stellar defence.

biggest flaw is that he went up and fought a great fighter in his prime honestly Canelo looked 1-dimensional today, hes got more to his game, maybe he couldn't do more cause of the weight difference or maybe he just fell in love with knocking ppl out

He fell inlove with his power years ago, so has been reduced to throwing haymakers with very little setup or combinations anymore. Works vs soft euro bums but not vs quality fighters. He landed 8 jabs all fight. Exposed.

LHW is too high for him. He loses a great deal of his explosiveness and speed when he's that high. He best Kovalev because Kovalev was shot. Otherwise he would have lost that fight. He needs to move back to 168. You're right about his flaws, but there even more pronounced when he moves around the ring with his lead feet. And 174 makes him a frikkin plodder

If canelo was in his prime he would beat bivol canelo didn’t care about fight I swear 75% of boxing fans and at least 99% of Canelo fans have been saying the last month that he's in his prime or that Bivol is a stiff eurobum with no power and will get broken down and stopped late.

If canelo was in his prime he would beat bivol canelo didn’t care about fight Go away, leave this sport please.

If canelo was in his prime he would beat bivol canelo didn’t care about fight

People are always tryna clown Bivol and his 'pitty pat' jabs but fail to realize that mixing up the speed and power of your shots is effective and can leave your opponent guessing what might be coming next

His biggest problem is that he has gone from hitting the body to hitting the arms. It worked for him in the Callum Smith fight...and in this fight he thought he could do the same to Bivol. Weaken the arm and make it too hard to lift or use. Bivol was obviously aware from the start and was ready for that strategy. Like he said...Canelo was hitting his arms...he was hitting Canelos head.

Canelo throws all his punches full speed and gets totally gassed. Has no clue how to vary the speed of his punches. Bivol completely exposes this. Eastern European fighters do this well and guys like Terence Crawford do it brilliantly. If Crawford does this at say 160, then you have a point. can’t pile like this on canelo for doing what no one else is doing. It’s all hypothetical for now since you well know that Crawford takes no challenges. You’re left with hypotheticals.

That has always been his problem. Just the guys he fought at 168 were not good enough to benefit from that.

That’s always been the case with Canelo.

Yeah, I think that is his approach at 168 and slowly became his tendency, because it was enough to get a KO before completely gassing. That doesn't mean that it suddenly won't be enough at 168. I think that Bivol boxed great, but it was also poor performance from Canelo.

He fights in spurts then gasses out his whole career, it's always been a flaw of his. Yup. Throws some big punches, takes a long ass break, then throws some more. Happy Bivol was able to expose it.

Yes, Bivol even said this during the post fight press conference. Wonder if Canelo will learn next time out.

Every fighter has a flaw against the wrong opponent.

He fights in spurts then gasses out his whole career, it's always been a flaw of his. Exactly and anyone with good defense will expose this. This is why he ducked Andrade and Charlos.

Well that's what happens when you fight someone bigger, stronger, and a great jab. Any half decent defensive fighter will expose this flaw. Trout did. Floyd really did. Lara did. Bivol really did.

He fights in spurts then gasses out his whole career, it's always been a flaw of his. It wasn't exposed tonight it's been exposed long ago.
