Comments Thread For: Bivol Was Surprised When He Was Announced as Being From California

[boxingitis]

Is that how it works lol? Huge credit to Canelo but no one forced him to fight at light heavyweight. Canelo has fought multiple guys as big or bigger than Bivol and I didn't hear anyone whining about it before. Canelo weighed just as much as Bivol at the weigh in. Bivol is 6'. Chavez Jr is 6'1", Rocky Fielding is 6'1", Danny Jacobs is 6', Kovalev is 6', Callum Smith is 6'3", Avni Yildirim is 6' and Caleb Plant is 6'1". All of a sudden now it's an excuse?

Bivol has been calling for the fight at 168 for years, a weight he said he could easily make. I'd actually like to see the rematch happen and that weight and he can take all of Canelo's belts. What will the excuse be then?

That he was weight drained.

A few years ago the media had no problems calling Ukraine one the most corrupt **** holes on the planet. Now all of a sudden they're magically this pillar of democracy where bluebirds tie your shoelaces and everyone has jumped on the latest virtue signaling bandwagon driving down the highway lined with #wesupportukraine billboards and Ukraine flags flying out car windows like they're everyone's favorite NFL team. In the mean time most of them couldn't find Ukraine on a fcuking map let along having anything approaching an educated discussion on what's actually going on over there or why. I could see if Bivol came out in support of the war but otherwise the Klitchko's should piss off and leave this kid alone. I give him immense credit for continuing to be so humble and respectful and not giving anyone the satisfaction of letting any of this bother him or get him down. They've treated him like complete s#it through this whole process and it's one of the reasons I'm so glad he won.

Yes! He said this in one of his post-fight interviews! This....this is how we'll know for sure if Canelo wants a rematch! If Canelo declines then it's probably a sign that they were planning on robbing Bivol in a rematch at 175. For now, Canelo still has that Undisputed status at 168 and I'm sure he won't just give that away.

Carnelo couldn't have lost to a better guy

Within 2 years the woke and cancel culture mobb has ruined society. If bivol walked into ring with lipstick a dress and high heels with a rainbow flag he would have been viewed as a hero. So let me get this straight u can't use anything Russian but the judges can blantantly cheat in clear sight with rigged and fixed scorecards. Oh the hypocrisy of this world has reached epic levels.

Man, I'm tellin' ya! Woke folks and cancel culture only muddles things up and take the fun out of it. We can use the NFL as an example....ever since sorry Kaepnernick started this kneeling crap, the sport took a turn for the worst. As I last remembered, sports is a pastime for most fans...ya know...an escape from the BS in life.

These "wokesters" are the worst! I was sitting here wondering why Bivol was walking to the ring to some Trap music and some song that didn't really fit him. I noticed them excluding the Russian anthem as well. Just horrible across the board and could've been handled differently.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Meanwhile, no American athlete (boxer or any sport) has ever been banned or boycotted because of all the invasions we’ve orchestrated on other nations. We invaded Iraq, we still went to the Olympics and the World Cup. In fact, Ukraine was one of the coalition nations that had troops on the ground happily invading brown people.

Kyrgyzstan aren't at war with anybody, could've just announced him as coming from there.
