Comments Thread For: Bivol: I Proved I'm Best at 175, Canelo Beat My Arm Up - But Not My Head

[richardt]

How ? By beating a 168 lber who was only at 168 for a year or so ?

great job great win by Bivol. But he proves he’s the best at his weight by beating the best fighters in HIS WEIGHT. Period.

Bivol already beat Smith who is a 175 pound champ so that counts.

The judges who are well established and known, got this fight all wrong, they had Bivol only winning by one round, what were they watching Bivol won by at least 4 to 8 points,
Canelo almost got another gift decision.

The fight wasn't in the least bit close. Dmitry won this fight hands down. Canelo certainly didn't look like the best P4P fighter in the world last night but Bivol did. I am happy that I purchased DAZN's pay per view after all.

Hats off to Canelo for having giant balls. This was his second Mayweathering. But where Floyd did it with superior skill, Bivol did it with size that amplified every fine attribute in the Russian’s arsenal.

The fight was a lot better than I hoped and Bivol made a believer out of me — I expected him to be out-pointed, fairly or not. But he bossed the former P4P king. The half-assed judges should all be forced to explain which lumps and bruises on Canelo earned him five rounds on their silly cards.

This boy beat Ginger Freckles and thinks he's the best at 175 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Meanwhile Two real 175 pounders are about to unify the other belts.

I wonder how many interviews he'll be doing when the only fight left to make In the division is for undisputed.

STFU

Are you being sarcastic? Bivol beat the brakes off of JSJr. Do some homework, maybe? If you don't say dumb things and then end with STFU, you might be taken seriously. JS

Nope. Smith has a puncher's chance.
But Beterbiev would press Bivol too hard.
Beterbiev is still the one to beat at 175.

And I am a Bivol fan and I thought before the fight Bivol was going to KO Clenelo around the 10th.

Lets wait for beterview Smith fight outcome before making assumptions,bivol already beat joe Smith jr and now canelo,in the meantime bivol on top of 175 list

Dmitry simply wore Canelo down through contrition. He made him punch himself out. It's the most vulnerable I've ever seen Canelo look in a professional prizefight before. Bivol hurt him and caught him flush on the chin several times. I thought he came very close to stopping Alvarez but he held back.

To say that he won through "contrition" is funny. If you meant attrition, that's disrespectful. Also, Bivol takes his foot off the gas in most fights. He's not mean, he's clinical.

I am not making assumptions and I am good with either one winning. Love both fighters but I still think Beterbiev is a monster who can be clipped too. But Bivol does not have the strength to stop the brute systematically applied pressure Artur brings.

Anyway, it would be a great fight!

You are absolutely right. Bad word selection. That's right. I did mean attrition. I am sorry!

I'm not interested in a rematch, he should head back down to 168 where he belongs, had canelo won the fight he wouldn't have defended the belt.


The only way can gain credibility now is to knock out GGG
