[masterpatric09]

I uess I was One of the Few who saw Bivol Beating The rap of Canelo...I called it way way in advance

[Someone88]

Yes! Good win for Bivol!

[JakeTheBoxer]

Point is those 4 guys you listed are gatekeepers,they show how weak lhw is

It is better than 168, the worst division right now. there is a reason Canelo unified it. He had to beat some killers there lol.

There is also a reason Canelo says he is too small for 175, but he is not too small to fight some cruiserweight bum, lol.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I like Bivol but please be honest you think he beats Canelo?

Yes. Why not? canelo is overrated IMO.

I mean, Canelo had to beat "killers" like Plant, Callum Smith, Saunders to unify division?

Bivol beats Canelo, but probably gets robbed.

Salamov is similar in size to Gilberto Ramirez both are big LHWs hopefully this was preparation for that fight. Hopefully Bivol is free of Hearn as well. Bivol is wasting his prime. Before he signed with Hearn he was very active taking all comers.

It is a weak division but when you aren't the face of the sport you can only fight whoever gets in the ring w you, hopefully the Beterbiev fight happens next, those 2 can fight.

Bivol could've fought Zurdo tonight,but instead Zurdo will have to wait like a yr til they fight now(& I have always considered Zurdo a done nothing hypejob but hes looking way better at lhw & hes hes sure better than the bum he fought tonight)

[Thuglife Nelo]

That's your problem, canelo is the so called p4p king and face of the sport but you're comparing his resume to a guy who isn't even p4p, you should compare him to FLOYD since he set the standard for what the face of the sport should be doing and the fights he should be making and compared to that resume canelo fails miserably

Missed the (LIVE) fight...
Will check it out later tonight.

But from some of the comments seems I'm not missing much.

Well, it depends on what you like. He was the boss of the fight, but it wasn't a close encounter or brawling. Bivol just pieced him up the entire time. It an active fight has four gears, I'd say this was maybe stuck in 2nd the whole time. He did enough to send Salamov home with a swole head but not enough to send him home early.
