Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol: I Was a Little Bit Shocked When I Heard 115-113

[Alan Smithee]

I have been a boxing fan since the 70's. Corrupt judging has always been part of the game. The only reason that I bet 75$ dollars on Bivol to win by decision instead of hundreds is because of the corruption. Either way, I'll take my almost 600$ and walk away smiling. Easy money! No better way to enjoy life!

Outrageous scoring ridiculous Shameful

[RyuVsKen]

Nobody here was, it’s the pink elephant in the room his fans have never wanted to address.

I think the pink elephant in the room was Eddy Reynoso...HEY-OOOOO!

When you say it was a total robbery, what exactly do you think was robbed?

He was unanimously awarded the fight. The cards were closer than they should have been, but when it goes to the judges, there are only three outcomes and it was the right one. Nothing was robbed. What decision were you looking for?

With this score they can say "it was close" while it wasn't. Canelo was dominated and, if Bivol had been a hardest puncher, he would have been ko'd. This was similar to usyk v aj.

I was shocked that it wasn't a 118-110 for canelo on one of the judges cards

‘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’



Yo, you absolutely nailed it with this pre-fight. Nostradamus ****

[P to the J]

Should have been wider no doubt. Bivol was impressive. Canelo would be wise to forget about the rematch, Bivol looked huge and no matter how good Canelo is he is not a LHW and Bivol is at the top of the division. He took a risk unlike Andrade, Beni or Charlo are willing to do even with guys their own size and came up short. Nothing to be ashamed up, CW and HW talk should never be mentioned again. 168 is his max. Cong**** Bivol!

Bivol didn’t look that huge at all, to me. There was not much size difference on display, and it was certainly far less noticeable than the size difference Canelo already had with Callum Smith and Caleb Plant.

I wasn't surprised at all. All 3 115-113 is a joke. What that says is the fix was in until they could not deny the Bivol domination without being outed for blatant corruption. I knew Canelo was in trouble when this fight was first announced. His team thought they were picking a light hitter as usual. Instead they got an excellent boxer who gave Canelo a boxing lesson. Which he deserved for making Bivol come out of the dressing room first. That was disrespectful to the sport and to the WBA champion.
Another issue with this fight was Bivols purse. 2 million?
IF there is a rematch those issues ahould be rectified.
Caleb weak hands Plant got 10 mil for his belt. Bivol deserved that as well.

I dont think he will get the rematch. I think Canelo's team will opt for the GGG trilogy. But they had better beware of that one too. GGG would love nothing more than to put Canelo on his ass. And he still has the power to do it. Canelo has been the beneficiary of quite a few close. calls. He has bought into his own hype. His comeuppance is coming. The Bivol fight aas only the beginni g. Peace.

Canelo stops GGG. He is too old now to do anything

That's what Canelo does. Loses 11 rounds and they try to rob Bivol. They really ****kn tried to rob him.

Fight wasn't close at all. 11 to 1 fight at the most and you can make a case for shutout.

[RyuVsKen]

I thought Bivol won by a fair margin and was also worried about the decision, but you can't say it was CLEARLY 11-1 or anything like that. There were 3-4 close rounds (r1 and r2 for instance) where neither fighter dominated or indisputably won the round so while 115-113 is closer than it should have been, it is tolerable.

Just glad the right guy won.

FWIW, I think GGG clearly won 1st fight and I think Lara should have eked out a close decision too, so it is nice to see Canelo take an L.

That said, props to him for seeking out such a tough opponent. He could be fighting creampuffs like many other titleholders do. *cough* Jermall Charlo *cough*
