You called it. Props. I thought Bivol was too basic. Turns out I just overestimated Canelo. Fighting all that mediocre trash and those stiff Eurobums made Canelo look better than he is.Comment

Good prediction ma manRemember This Thread If Canelo Loses. Canelo Is My Favorite Fighter But I Don't See This Being What People Think It Will Be. Canelo At 175 Is Like Tyson With Much Less Foot Work, Very Flat Footed. Bivol Is Naturally Bigger, And Used To Fighting Much Bigger Opponents, Height And Weight. Bivol Looked Huge Compared To Canelo. You All Forget, Bivol is 6'0, The Same Height At Kovalev And Has A 2 Inch Reach Advantage Over Canelo. Bivol Has Much Better Foot Work Than Canelo. Bivol Has An EXCELLENT IQ. Very Underated. He Is EXTREMELY Precise With Very Good Defense. He Doesn't Look Flashy Slick But He Is Very Actually Very Slick. He Will Not Be There To Be Hit Like GGG. He Uses His Feet, Can Counter On The Move, And Picks His Punches. He Is Able To Avoid Punches From People Like John Smith Jr Who Was 6 Foot And Had A 76 Inch REACH! 4 More Inches Than Bivol. He Also Throws Combos In Variety. The Last 15 Seconds Of The Fight Vs Smith Showed He Has Some Beast In Him Too. He's In His Prime, Undefeated. I Honestly Have A Feeling Canelo May Lose This, I Actually Think He's Going To Get Schooled And Taste His First Knockdown.
Canelo had no answers
Bivols tight guard aswell as solid fundamentals neutralised Canelos power. Bivol was well balanced and kept his chin tucked in tight and low and absorbed some big shots
Canelo is not like Floyd who is able to counter fighters when they either throw single shots or counter them mid combo with a slick shot and roll out to safety
Canelo does not have that timing. Combo punching troubles Canelo. And a fighter that does not fall for Canelos trap setting when against the ropes also troubles him.
Above all, a fighter that is durable and built well who can take shots will diffuse Canelo
I scored it as a wide UD for Bivol. From the 2nd or 3rd round when Bivol began firing right back at Canelo it was apparent that Canelo is in trouble.
Canelo is a great fighter and i think he will definitely improve from this loss and become a better fighter.
Bivol just had the style ti give Canelo problems. It was a good strategyComment

It happened exactly like I thought. I also blame the strategy, which I knew would be like the Kovalev fight. Cane should have BOXED like he did in the first GGG fight, he should have picked his shots and also used good defense and head movement to diffuse Bivols offense and made him think. Camelot just coming forward trying to land bombs made him target practice and he was outboxed. Another thing, Bivols punches look like pity pat punches but EVERY fighter has commented on his power. I imagine his jab has the same effects that Errol Spence’s jab has even though it may not look like it to us viewers.

That's a very good comparison. Could even add Usyk to that comparison with them
