Dmitry Bivol putting in work

[Roadblock]

Yes he is strong, but skill for skill? He is quite basic.

Still nobody knows how the strength of Bivol will affect Alvarez until fight night.

He doesnt do anything for me I think Canelo is going to run him over during the back half of the fight, his head is stuck up a little and he is hittable in rallys, there is always a danger in fighting a much bigger guy I expect him to have some moments but I think Canelos class is quite a bit above Bivol and it will show in lots of areas.

[BodyBagz]

No no no. GGG beat Nelo twice (I am a ****** GGG fan and have 25 IQ.) Your analysis gets refuted.

GGG spared Nelo of certain death in both fights (especially the rematch).

Let's be real....how can Nelo haters not give Nelo credit for fighting the likes of GGG a 3rd time ?
That's worse than Joe Pesci vs Joe Frazier.

Sometimes you just have to break the fight down.

Is Bivol the hardest puncher Alvarez has ever faced? No.

Is Bivol the most skillful fighter Alvarez has ever faced? No.

Is Bivol the strongest fighter physically, with the most endurance Alvarez has ever faced? Most likely.

So for me, the only way Bivol wins is by applying a simple yet extremely violent game plan. Set a fast pace, use a strong jab and go to the body hard 'And just hope for Alvarez to crumble'.

If Bivol comes out and is all standoffish, acting as if Alvarez is Mike Tyson 'I think he will drop rounds, and eventually get stopped'.

Note: I don't think Alvarez is a monster puncher, and I am not sure why his opponents act as if he is Mike Tyson. I think he beats these guys before the actual fight sometimes, they have preconceived idea's, of how things are going to go.

Notice how all of his opponents of late, seem to under perform. They all leave the fight, thinking to themselves that they could of done better. Only really a fighter like Liam Smith, for me can claim that he maximized his talent against Alvarez 'And could not of done any better'.

Caleb Plant also done well, I will say he can also claim to of maximized his talent vs Alvarez etc.

[Nash out]

One thing is for sure, Biv would kill everyone GGG beat (not saying much).

If I had a dodgeball team, I'd draft him.

A guy can be an Adonis but lack experience vs a certain level of competition.
I have a feeling Nelo will have too much experience to go along with all his other attributes.

It should be an entertaining fight.

C'mon Bodybagz, Nash knows you can be hard to please, but the Curtis Stevens (future HOF) that stepped into the ring vs GGG, was in the form of his life and flying the crest on a wave. Give him that win at least! Nash out.

That was a fluke win for GGG
Upset of the year

GGGeezzzer's transformation:

2017 --> Would KO Nelo (Failed)
2018 -- > Got robbed. Would KO this time. (Failed)
2022 --> GGG is old. We are afraid of Nelo. Pls fight Beterbiev.

I had GGG winning the first. Need to rewatch the second.

How did you score the fights?

Ever wonder if any of his 10,000 amateur opponents became pros ?

[Southpawology]

Good work from bivol. He throws his left hook so weird...

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think Bivol wins and sends Canelo back to 168.

Shame we will never see Canelo getting knocked out by Beterbiev.
