Comments Thread For: Canelo: Bivol's Going To Be Difficult Through Six Rounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Canelo Alvarez believes solving Dmitry Bivol could be like a Rubik's Cube - it could take time, but the task will eventually get completed. The undisputed super middleweight champion will step up a weight class to face the WBA light heavyweight champion Bivol on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on DAZN pay-per-view.

I'll say this, Canelo knows the task ahead of him.

I'm not sure Canelo will win though, but it depends if Bivol can show us the higher level he needs to show against his most difficult opponent.

I just don't see how Canelo can legit beat this guy. But I guess we will see and credit to him for taking the challenge on.

Bivol is slow and doesn't hit had. Canelo should be able to hit him at will

Definitely not slow and he hits plenty hard I would say. I could see a Spence vs Mikey situation to be honest.

I still don't know what is being fast and slow for people. Both Plant and Bivol are known for their relatively soft and fast hands. People say both have slow hands smh..

Bivol is clearly faster than Beterbiev and Smith Jr. A bit slower than Canelo. Canelo is a bit slower than at his 168 days.

This may be a step too far for canelo, his last performances have made him look superhuman and unbeatable but at what point do we go back to reality? Bivol is a master of distance and distance is what you need to beat canelo. Bivol can win this fight with just his 1-2 if he really stays focused

what an idiot narrative ... and then, after the 6th round Bivol will slow down, which never happened in his entire career, and slow and little ginger will rise like a Phoenix and destroy his enemy, lol, GTFOH

If Canelo’s plan A is dependent on Bivol weakening late, he better have a good plan B

Sounds like a plan to me. Like I said, be warned when Bivol all of a sudden doesn't fight like this vs. a guy who shouldn't even b in 175 who couldn't stop Chavez Jr and Angulo. Mark my words on this one.

I know the great canelo bodywork which didn't slow Lara down, who finished, was a basic 1-2 fighter like Bivol and was smaller with far less power.

Notice how Bivol is able to get outside of Barrera 74'' punching range but will have a problem with Canelo's 70'' reacch which his reach doesn't even look that long.
