Firstly, Nash scored it 116-112 Bivol, giving Canelo R1,3,4,9. There was nothing in the first half of the right, though spin it however you like, should you wish.
Some key points. Canelo is not, and never had been P4P number 1, that man, is Tyson Fury, the hardest man to beat in boxing, hence being, P4P number 1. Bivol actually raised his performance like Tyson Fury does in key fights last night.
Canelo needs to forget 175, and talk of Usyk is laughable. His win over Kovalev, whilst still good, was a bit of a false indicator of Canelo as a top 175 fighter. Kovalev, someone who has abused his body for years and lost motivation, was on a massive decline, losing durability, and a tame, much less aggressive shadow of his former self, especially the man that beat Ward, but was robbed in the first fight.
Canelo's power at 175 is good, but nowhere near what it is at 160 pushing 168. Canelo is not the fleetest of foot anyway, but that problem is much worse at 175, he was much slower than normal, not his head or hands, his feet. The weight is too much for him. That's the main problem when weight becomes a factor. How are your feet? Like Ruiz in the AJ rematch. He was walking through treacle.
A rematch ends the same way. One loss to Bivol does not effect his legacy. Another bad loss the same way, may do. It's not a direction Nash would send him in, but Nash would still respect it. Canelo is not a 175 fighter.
The Bivol that struggled past Richards in England, was nowhere to be seen. Let's put some respect on the Bivol name. Canelo should still fight Golovkin next. That's 1-1 at best anyway for him. Let's settle that score. Golovkin is still winning good fights, past his best or not.
Canelo does not deserve to be down marked for last night. He was chasing greatness, he fell short, it happens. Viva la Mexico. Nash out.
