What should Bivols game plan be?

[Silence]

The mire fact he has to do this and that vs a 5'7 fighter who couldn't stop Angulo and Chavez Jr while he could steamroll big men like Barrera and Joe Smith pretty sums up the nonsense of this fight. Just go cash the check already. Cards have been signed. .

Angulo TKO?

Chavez Jr has granite chin+he didn't want to make Chavez Sr sad.

judges already spot roidenlo 4 rds coming in so bivol would have to win all 12 rds with 3 knockdowns to secure a draw

Agree with the first part which essentially is his style. That's why I feel he's gonna give Canelo all he could handle because not having to switch up much,he's going to feel pretty comfortable in there doing what he does. Canelo isn't going to be able to bully him either,this isn't a faded,alcoholic Kov,Bivol isnt the biggest 175lber but he's solid.

He's going to get hit at some point but Canelo isnt a massive puncher like Joe so I don't think he"ll have any issues with Canelos power up top,only should be a concern down low. It's not out of realm that Bivol has enough pop to hurt Canelo even himself either. Going to be a great fight either way,can't wait to see how it unfolds.

Yup bivol has underrated power he can hurt you if he lands clean.

[Beercules]

he should watch carefully some of nelos recent opponents & then do the exact opposite of what they did

[Bermuda]

He just needs to be himself. We all just need to be ourselves. This is the key to a happy and successful life!

Establish his jab, win the battle of the jabs and dominate.

Then **** to the body. Jab up stairs, and concentrate on body attacks.

This is all he needs to do in the first half of the fight.

Of course if a opportunity arises to land a big punch up stairs, go for it.

But I honestly think Bivol should go into this fight, with a long game. A long game of destruction.

That's it basically, I think this will win him rounds. And in the late rounds may even completely break down Alvarez 'At this point, he should switch the big punches up stairs'.

Note: This is what I would like to see from Bivol. But can he do it? The only attributes he has over Alvarez are size, stamina, maybe movement by a small margin. Skill for skill, I don't think Bivol is super elite.

He wins by knocking Canelo out, he could all 12 rounds decisively and would likely still lose 7-5. Too much money on the line for DAZN and Hearn.

Personally, I think it's going to be a clinic after 5 with Bivol doing to Canelo what Strum did to De La Hoya. And like Strum will be robbed.

[F l i c k e r]

• Never give Canelo the same look multiple times
• Don't bend over at the waist to avoid punches
• Don't fall into the traps; double the jab and separate

That's what'd I'd say but I honestly haven't watched Bivol like that. Him and Beterbiev seem like bigger GGGs to me, so idk.

He wins by knocking Cabell out, he could all 12 rounds decisively and would likely still lose 7-5. Too much money on the line for DAZN and Hearn.

Personally I think it's going to be a clinic after 5 with Bivol doing to Canelo what Strum did to De La Hoya. And like Strum will be robbed.

It reminds me of how that fight too. Similar setup - with the popular fighter at a higher weight, also having his next fight announced already (Oscar vs Hopkins).

I didn't know much about Sturm at the time but Bivol seems better/more proven than Sturm was; he was probably at more of a size advantage though. Canelo does not have the bad habits Oscar had outside the ring at that point; he's still riding high. Canelo is the house fighter and gets the benefit of the doubt but even with that, it still seems close
