    Why yes my man
    Bivol will crumble exactly the way Gvodzyk did
    Beterbiev doesn’t knock out arms , he knocks off heads
    Big difference there
    Not taking anything away from Bivol , who I’ve liked very much , but Artur will be his downfall

      Gayweather was too scared to fight GGG or Martinez. Canelo wasn't scared to fight Bivol.

      Charlo too scared to go up in weight and fight Benavidez. He'd never dare to even mention Bivol's name.

      Same for Andrade, scared to fight Benavidez.

      But some of you people out there shi.tting on Canelo? Lol.

        It is just silly damage control.
        I never thought Canelo would beat him easily, from the very first I said this was going to be a tough fight for him.

        Damage control? There's no damage here, the guy dared to be great and came up short. He has nothing to apologize for.

        I don't want you to give Canelo credit for losing. I want you to give him credit for taking the risk in the first place.

          Props to the ginger one from me... said right from the get go this was one of the trickiest and toughest fights he could poissibly take - for my money far more dangerous than Benevidez or Charlo. Only fight I'd see as more dangerous below Cruiserweight would be Beterbiev, but that would provide an entirely different type of physical and stylistic challenge.

          Not a fan of Canelo's scoring privilege but the dude's more than earned my respect with his desire to take challenges over the years.

            Scents of Holyfield vs Tyson I last night.

            What happens if Canelo takes the Bivol rematch, and loses again?

                  lol bivol kicks the **** out of benevidez and andrande, those chumps didnt have the sack to go to 175 so a little super welterweight manlet had to go do it for them.

                    really though? oscar and tito lost at their highest weights too. tito basically was good at two weight classes.

                      It would just mean that he found his limit and doesn't belong at light heavyweight.
