Bivol's Chin and Heart

[TreyShaw]

Unless Bivol fights to the level of his competition, I don't see anything special in him that will give Canelo issues. Canelo will lose a few rounds and end up stopping him like all these other non elite fighters he fights. GGG was an Elite level guy and had a jab and power that could keep Canelo honest, I just don't think Bivol is anything close to the level of either GGG or Canelo.

I agree with that.

I like Bivol and I think he can make it interesting but he's not more skilled than canelo nor is he a better boxer than Kova and Plant but he is bigger naturally.

Canelo will win competitive but clear decision.

Plant fights w more of an American style which could be more of a problem for Canelo, but Bivol to me is more similar to a Pirog than a GGG, yes he relies on the 1-2 a lot, but is also very elusive on his feet and tough to land clean on. Styles make fights, but Bivol's resume in the ring is far superior to Plant, more in line w Kovalev, but he's in his prime and hasn't been KOd like kov.

Canelo fought the shadow of Kovalev.

GGG would never consider fighting that version of Kov.
It's awesome Nelo is held to higher standards.

Bivol would have and he would have pitched a 12-0 shutout.

I didn’t think the fight was fixed at all
But I was shouting on this forum that the fight wouldn’t go over 5 rounds
Canelo would take his head off and quite easily
If anything Canelo carried him throughout the fight probably worried about Kovi’s power

It was from the get-go.
Ask any Russian what was spoken in the Russian interview.

He had 5 weeks to train after a rough fight, had a big problem outside the ring which was settled, had like 5 re-hydration clauses, etc.

The real Kovalev would have taken Canelos head off of his body. Go watch the fight again and you will see that little moment when Kova forgot the script.

How many weeks does a boxer need ?
GGG wouldn't think about taking on the Kov Nelo did.
For Triple Geezer, it's Nelo's $$$$ or easy street.

Yup

Which is why he never has.

Nelo haters never want their hero (ANYONE whos not Nelo) to do too much to prove themselves

Because this is my thread and my thread isn't about GGG, it's about Bivol
