Canelo close to accepting Bivol & Golovkin

[Chrismart]

Nice deal for him.

Not sure we need another GGG fight at this point, he'll be 40 by then, but it will sell well. I like the Bivol fight, very interested in how their styles gel.

I've never seen anything like it, he signed with Hearn to get him the big fights and instead Hearn is protecting his big earners

Which big earners? GGG and Munguia aren't with Hearn. GGG has some deal directly with DAZN and Munguia is Golden Boy. I can't think of any big earners around 160 that Matchroom has. Hearn would probably love an Andrade/Canelo fight but I don't see that happening.

Bivol would likely go to a decision, and the judges have already handed in their scorecards. Beterbiev or Benavidez present too much risk of not going to the judges.

I give him his props when due I'm just not a delusional fan. His career since the first fight has been waiting on Canelo, not the fans fault, it's his. There are other fights I'd love to have seen him in, unfortunately he wanted to sit around and wait on Canelo paydays.

I don't think most people who critique him come close to getting it right with him, but that's my view

I'm good with Canelo-Bivol. Canelo-GGG III is past it's expiration date.

Jones-Tarver III vibes.

[GhostofDempsey]

Bivol interesting for sure.

Golovkin fight I'm not so much interested in anymore.


I was hoping for the Charlo fight to, as the kids say, 'keep it one hunnit'

Same here. That GGG trilogy expired three years ago. No intrigue with a GGG who will be 40 and moving up a weight class. I'm guessing Charlo still doesn't want it, all talk as usual.

Bivol makes sense, it's another title at 175, and he's arguably the second best light-heavyweight behind Beterbiev. Canelo can make 175 in May, and then avoid blowing up and have an easier time making 168 in September for GGG. While I'm not giving Bivol much of a chance at winning, I think he make it the distance and it won't be totally one-sided, but he'll get stopped if he tries to make this an inside fight, he'll lose the trade war as Canelo is a superior counter puncher.

How do you feel about Bivol ?

Good Euro background apparently and likes to box.

He is a solid fighter with a good amateur background but I feel like he is a notch below Canelo. Bivol has a good jab and decent footwork so I see this one going the distance unless Bivol lets it turn into a brawl.

I watched some interview months ago.

Said he could fight at 168/75 for Canelo if the fight prevented itself.

Seems like a gym rat.

Charlo would've been a great build up tho


Fan friendly too.
