I believe Canelo made a good choice in using Alex as a sparring partner. He utilizes that Eastern Euro style similar to Bivol. This is on scrap I’m really looking forward to!

Lmao at Bivol: "Canelo can spar aliens..."

How the hell is this a great move bringing in a guy who is retired and the last fight he had was knocked clean the f(uk) out! ok, I give him credit for his amateur credentials and for beating a shell in Adonis but dam you can't find some in shape active fighters.

Bivol: Canelo can spar aliens. It doesn't matter. He will beat me in any scenario.

Although Gvozdyk relies on lateral movement; Bivol is an in & out mover. Bivol has better handspeed, ring IQ, fluidity and defense.
