I have a serious question for people of this forum? What is the issue with rematches that people have? What is the issue with fighters challenges themselves and wanting to redeem themselves? Boxing is not just about winning all the time, it is about the ups, it is about the downs, it is a Rollar-coaster ride.

Have you guys ever seen the movies series Rocky Balboa?

Alvarez was beaten, big deal. You win some, you lose some.

I honestly think there is a growing culture with boxing fans, where people genuinely think fighters think like them.

These guys are not you, they yearn for challenges, they are the ultimately competitors.

Canelo Alvarez is going to want to rematch Bivol. If he wins the rematch, great. If he loses, so what.

That is boxing.

If he takes the rematch and wins his greatness gets elevated even further.

Bivol outlanded Canelo in all 12 rounds if you include jabs.

The fact that Bivol won a 115-113 UD, means it was actually wider than that and wasn't actually even close, especially since the cash cow mayweather won a SD in a fight which was just as wide.

If Canelo has to do only a little better to get a gift decision, then he shouldn't take the rematch and ruin his reputation and leave it at "Canelo dared to be great but Bivol is too big too strong" he already has way too many gift decisions.

Canelo fans don’t count jabs. It’s why they say he dominated GGG. Jabs don’t count to them.

Bivol could beat him again but no one's stopping anyone. Try learning a thing or two about boxing.

bivol can stop him next time and he didn’t move out of first gear and each time bivol unloaded on him on the ropes you could see canelos face change......If bivol stents it up he can stop him for sure

[Smash]

oh why did they ban thuglifenelo, can some one check up on that guy, i mean im seriously worried about him, i was going to say mental health, but that was gone years ago but he is surely pushed over that edge and far away now...........

It would be smart not to fight Bivol again. Fights like that take years off a career. Go back to 168 and fight guys closer to your own size. Canelo looked flabby for this fight.

I think he’ll rematch him though. If he does there are some things he could do to do better. Box a little more, and don’t head hunt early. Concentrate only on the body for the first few rounds with an upper cut thrown in on the inside occasionally. Those looping hooks were getting caught by Bivol with his gloves all night. Canelo spent too much energy early by throwing as hard as he could with all of his punches. You could see him tire.

Agree that he should avoid the rematch. Canelo has evolved over the years and it's impressive. But to beat Bivol he'd need to change further into a Duran or a Mike Tyson and it's just not who he is. He just doesn't have the feet to get inside that quick, and he doesn't like to fight with full intensity for prolonged periods.

3rd Golovkin fight wasn't that interesting, but maybe the public buy it as more competitive now. I think they should stick with that fight for September, or December as Canelo probably needs recovery time. If that goes well he can be the top guy at 168 for a few years.

Canelo should forget Bivol ever existed and go PBC route fighting Charlo, Spence, Benavidez. i am not even sure he beats Benavidez.

He shouldn`t leave out the chance to knock out Spence, casuals will love it.

this is andrade charlo & benny's fault, they ran him out of MW and SMW up to the arms of this russian dude who his fans never heard of, he needs to get back down there to take out these monsters of the deep just waiting to devour him
