Hmmnnn .... lots of people are on the Canelo gravy train .... not to mention bookies and their Bosses. A loss will mess up a lot of folks money. Typically, when that is the case ... there are too many involvements for a decision without some controversy BS. Add to that the whole russian situation and ..... it looks pretty bad for Bivol. Hard to see the powers that be allowing him to still be champ at end of this.

I'll go out on a limb though .... and predict:

If there is not a fairly obvious robbery or controversy in this fight, Bivol will upset Alvarez. Peraps by TKO.

I would imagine Alvarez will weigh heavier on fight night than he did against Sergey Kovalev etc.

I suspect that one point may be correct, but I don't think weight (his normal weight-bully stuff) is gonna be a savior in this fight. If Canelo wins it will be due to good boxing and timely punches. Bivol has busted up his share of weight bullies over time. He is big enough to handle it and he is a sharpshooter. This is an interesting fight on many levels.

The question is, will there be some nefarious BS .... questionable knockdowns, paid scoring by judges, etc. If it plays out as a solid boxing match without undo interference ... this will be a magical bout for the ages. Both guys have paths to victory. Very Interesting ...

Still picking Bivol in a fair fight though.
