Don't see why people think Bivol will beat Canelo

[Rad]

EDIT: I take that back. Bivol is gonna kick Clen's ass, corrupt judges or not!

[Silence]

Agree. He is neither huge puncher nor slick fighter. Canelo will beat him easier than people think.

[Earl-Hickey]

Listen I'm going to give you the logical reason and then I'm gonna tell you why to throw it out the window.

Bivol is a big, solid, sturdy 175lb guy who is fresh and in his prime.

In addition he is an excellent technical boxer who is far above canelo in that regard and "should" be able to take Canelos big right hand out of the fight for large spells.

No he's not a massive puncher but similar to a Usyk for instance, he hits "hard enough" and is accurate and catches you with sneaky punches you don't see which do damage, he's exhausting to fight because he's so mentally alert and exploits any mistake.

He's not going to run like bjs or plant who are B rated "half middleweights" Bivols plan would be to claim center ring, neuter canelos right hand and feint him to death and outbox his ass center ring like Floyd did, only he's 30lbs bigger than floyd.

Knowing what I do of the two fighters it's a REALLY hard fight for Canelo.

But here's the thing, here's why to throw all logic and common sense out of the fight and pick canelo to win.

Because its a canelo fight.

I don't need to say any more.

With that said he is a dangerous opponent for any 175lber

The Russian has really good stamina and underrated footwork that has to be taken into account here. Canelo's good at cutting off the ring but at 175 he's going to be slower.

- - By your logic, Bivol gonna be slower as all fighters are the heavier they are, even Ali

That sorted, Bivol big enough, strong enough, and savvy enough to cause plenty of problems in a boxing match. Don't see a KO in this one, but if close and it goes to cards, insert the usual suspects howling to the outer limits of the Universe about ROBBERY.

Cong**** on Canelo willing to fight the media created Russian enemy. It's a no win situation for both fighters no matter the outcome thanks to horrific international political malfeasance.

U ‘toopid or sumpin? Short stocky fighters don’t gain speed when they move up,

[Floyd is TBE]

Canelo fans have to pretend he's taking a huge risk by facing Bivol. Based on what I've seen I don't think Bivol has a chance.

[asgarth]

Fighters who can move and are longer than him, still trouble him unless they have poor second half stamina like saunders, plant and kovalev.
So far bivol hasnt shown suspect stamina but I'm not sure about his durability. Since he got buzzed by smith, he doesnt take any chances anymore.
