I don't think this will go well for Canelo

Canelo appears to be off the Mexican beef...

I doubt Canelo takes a fight that he can't win

I really don't even know why people ever doubted it would go the way it did. Bivol was/is on a whole different level, and I don't think a lot of posters here really knew who he was. All they knew was that they were Canelo fans and that he KO's bigger guys, so for no other reason they assumed he would KO Bivol too, in spite of the fact that those bigger guys were nothing like Bivol. It's easy to say I told you so after the fact, but it was clear as could be that Canelo was out of his league even before the fight was made, if you understood who Bivol was.

I'm happy for Bivol because now he will have the recognition he deserves. Bivol vs Beterbiev (yes, he will beat Smith) will be a great fight, and now will do MUCH better numbers than it would have otherwise, this was a masterclass against the P4P champion.

The fight was no way near 115-113...but it was a Canelo fight. Honestly, even after watching it before the decision was in, I thought man...they'd call it a draw...because it's Canelo. That they gave a UD over the cash cow on Cinco de Mayo weekend when they wouldn't even play the Russian national anthem speaks volumes.

Look at these punch stats...

Canelo's luster will never shine the same way now.

Good topic, good prediction, salute sir!

Not every risk turns out as expected.
It's still considered an upset.

It thrills me how GGG fans can never say their guy took chances.
Will these LHWs take any chances besides fighting a smaller man ?

Bivol's footwork was the difference here.

You're a complete ***ing fool, and never get tired of proving it. LHWs fight LHWs all the time. The cash cow called out Bivol. Bivol will fight Beterbiev
after he disposes of Smith. GTFOH Elroy.

You and everybody who picked Bivol in this thread was right, I was 1000% Wrong

Big Props to Bivol!

I dont understand the hype about Dimitry Bivol, I can tell you now that Saul Alvarez is going to chin Bivol by counter-punching his habit to over-reach. Dimitry's off-balance stance whilst punching and bad habit to jump in and out of range should get him planted by the eight round for sure.

All that aggression is going to be nullified with head-movement and Canelo's short height and faster hands in the inside. Dimtry is already down 4 points before the bell rings by the way, KO or nothing is how Bivol wins. Put your money on Alvarez.

I'll give you 100% kudo's for that call because that's exactly how the corruption panel called it, but he got out-classed so badly that it wasn't even enough.
