What are your thoughts on Canelo vs Bivol?

Canelo 100% won that fight, I’m a big GGG fan and I’m no fan of Alvarez but he definitely beat Lara.

I done an RBR thread on the fight about 18 months ago during lockdown and there’s no way I can give Lara any more than 5 rounds.

The truth is, there's no way canelo won 5 rounds without landing anything

That’s how I saw it. Canelo was landing regularly to the body whilst Lara was just trying to potshot.

Have you ever rewatched the fight?

I think nothing much of the fight. Canelo Alvarez has all the negotiating power in the sport to make better fights.

What I mean by better fights is, marketable, exciting fights against interesting opponents.

There are better fights out there to make, that is all I am going to say.

But if Bivol gets his fight with Alvarez, all the best to him.

He will not fight Bivol mark my words guys. Too dangerous for pusssy pednelo

I had. Most of those body shots were landing on the arms. Beside he looked lost. In any case, you have your opinion and is good as mine. The bottom line, canelo has a w, and Lara an L. Be safe.

It would be a MASSIVE step up for Canelo. Bivol’s a legit 175 champ in his prime unlike the Kovalev that Canelo fought. Great 50-50 fight IMO.

If no catchweight is allowed.

I think Canelo looks unbeatable right now he is at his apex, but no fighter is unbeatable and Canelo can defo be beat, we've not seen him in a competitive fight for a while so i feel people are getting carried away.

My personal feeling is Bivol is a very consistent fighter, he is long, big, punches hard, good boxing ability and looks to me as the type of fighter that would give Canelo serious problems. You could say that he is pretty basic, his offense his not that creative and maybe the lack of unpredictability could be his downfall, but I'm not convinced he needs to be that dynamic offensively. He's naturally much bigger and is more durable than Kovalev.

I wouldn't be surprised if he beats Canelo by decision. I think a lot of people are sleeping on this fight.

- - Started well, but fizzled spectacularly.

Prime Kov bigger, stronger, more naturally powerful, and KOs Biv inside 6.

That said, I don't discount Biv vs Canelo, but Canelo the fav for good reason.
