Will any of you apologize and admit you were wrong? Probably not. It's ok to man up you know.
I saw Canelo fans 6 months ago calling Bivol absolute trash, saying that he was a ducker and a cherry picker, clout chasing Canelo, blatantly ducking Ramirez, was a basic 1-2 fighter. Not just 1 or 2 but dozens of them.
Canelo haters were saying this was a complete cherry pick, that Bivol is trash, that he had zero chance of winning. Do you even watch boxing?? How is it possible that you didn't see what some of us saw that this guy was many levels above canelo's recent opponents?
I'll admit I was wrong that my prediction was this was a 50-50 fight. I did not expect Bivol to dominate the way he did. Can others admit their mistakes?
Of course I thought he was going to take a payout like Kovalev. I posted numerous times if he didn't fight as he did vs bigger men like Barrera and Smith something was wrong. No way a little 5'7 guy who couldn't knockout Angulo and Chavez Jr should be able to stop him.
2 millions or something is hardly life changing money for elite boxer.
This sh.it was all wrong for Canelo from the start. they lowballed Bivol by the offer and gave him enough time for full preparation camp.
They should have paid him about 15 million dollars and made him to take the offer on very short notice.

I tried to explain casuals here Bivol was the real deal, they wouldn`t listen.
"Canelo the great blah blah blah...he beats these Russians blah blah blah..."
And now they say Canelo was to small, lol.
You guys just took that p4p king sh.it too seriously.
Canelo ALWAYS struggled when he fought somebody really good.
As the fight came closer people fell for the hype. I thought that Canelo could dig into another gear but it was never there (Bivol said he felt that Canelo was gassed in the 7th round, that says a lot.)
Geez man. I dislike (very much) carnelo as much as the next guy but you're borderline obsessed.
This thread is also about the canelo haters who said he cherry picked a bum.
It really has nothing to do with canelo just how stupid boxing fans and media can be.
I saw a lot of people here giving Bivol a good chance. I had Bivol winning but getting robbed, that was the shocking part to me with Bivol actually getting the official win. Thought Canelo was an idiot taking this low reward/high risk fight over more lucrative and easier fights with Charlo and Benavidez.
And it wasn't just this forum. You had idiots like Bernard Hopkins saying that Bivol would get smashed, not just Hopkins but hundreds of professional boxing media, How were they so stupid?
