Canelo's game plan

[Comanche]

Sooo... what the hell was Canelo's strategy?

Didnt work the jab, didnt work the body, wasnt ready to counter ANY of Bivol's combos, had no head movement, no shoulder roll, no inside fighting...

Bivol is at his best when he's at a distance fireing his combos and then moving away. I thought Canelo would be able to counter over the combos or get inside where it isnt Bivol's comfort zone. None of that happened. He had no idea how he wanted to play this.

I want to give Canelo credit for moving all the way up... but now, seeing his lack of preparation, I wonder if he didnt think he could just wing it and still win.

Bivol’s distance control and footwork neutralized Canelo’s plans.

[HeadShots]

Canelo went forward to throw but Bivol was out already. that is the problem. Canelo was lunging like crazy and tired himself out.

Bivol deserves credit, Im not going to take that away from him, but he fought his usual fight. Canelo didnt seem prepared for what Bivol always does. Doesnt make sense.

in the 1st round when canelo threw the first big punch and it landed on bivol's shoulder... i knew the fight was over for canelo... that was his bread and butter punch and when he threw that punch with so much force and it landed on bivol's shoulder, the fight was over for nelo..

No kind of strategy would have got Canelo the win.. he fought a much bigger dude with skills and wasn't scared of him like the previous mental Midget LHW's that fought him.

Bivol's punches where having so much effect on Canelo. You could see the deer in the headlights look on Canelo's face " like of **** this is what LHW punches feel like ".. Hid little ass needs to go down and stop messing with them LHW's. Imagine what Beterbiev would do to him lol

He was to busy golfing canelo had no gameplan at all.

A lot easier to watch that style than to fight it. Bivol does all of the small things perfectly. What people laugh and say “no special effects” wins fights. Fundamentals.

I think It was the fourth that Canelo landed an uppercut flush and Bivol walked through it like it didn’t phase him. When that happened I knew it was over.

Oh it wasnt that early for me. Later on when I saw that the uppercuts had no effect, I realized that Canelo couldnt power punch he way out of that one.

But no plan B or C?

Canelo didnt come prepared. I dont understand why, other then he probably expected a cakewalk.
