Comments Thread For: Canelo's 2-Fight Deal With DAZN Done: Bivol On May 7, Golovkin On September 17

This doesnt move the needle tbh. Bivol is boring af, no matter what and GGGrandpa is old af.

Demand that some of the other top fighters in boxing start fighting each other, so that they can move the needle.

All I will say is this, I rather had the Canelo-Charlo fight but this one is a perfectly legit top level fight, so I applaud Canelo for taking this fight instead of the Makabu bull****.

Canelo will be fighting another undefeated champion for the 3rd consecutive time, If you don't like this, then go watch another sport because boxing is not for you PERIOD

Anyone can recommend Bivol fights for me to watch in preparation? Or should I not even bother?

Agnew, Chilemba, Pascal, , Barrera, Smith Jr

I advise to watch these ones as these are the top names he's fought in his career..

Fantasy: But but Bivol is uper super duper fighter he will outbox Canelo.

Reality: 19% punch accuracy for Bivol and most of them are jabs. Canelo won by decision via harder, cleaner and more meaningful punches.

Excuse: But but he was outboxing Canelo.

i stand by thinking that benavidez is the most dangerous option of the 4 that were available and canelo’s team prefers to stay clear of him, but, bivol is a dangerous option and shouldn’t be considered a cherry pick. He’s the biggest threat canelo has faced in 4 years. As for the ggg trilogy, a 40 yr old inactive ggg is another case of canelo minimizing risk. Not sure what he has left but i’m sure he’ll at least put up a better effort than his recent opponents did during his run at 168.

this 100%.

Did I read the article right saying these would be PPV fights?

Thanks alot, will do.

Seen the Pascal one already, though Pascal wasnt at his best by then...

So 175 for Bivol confirmed. No catch weight. No rehydration clause.
Legacy fight followed by an easy fight to retire GGG for good.
FOTY already wrapped up in February confirmed.

What excuses will the haters have after Canelo beats Bivol?

"Not fair Bivol had to take a dump so the win don't count"

I don’t know but I know you’ll be ready and willing to defend your man when it comes.

Lol who has Bivol fought that’s so special? Sullivan Barrera? He hasn’t had a knockout in 5 yrs. Went the distance with a domestic fighter who had less than 20 fights last year.
