Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Expects Canelo To Bounce Back Strong After Defeat To Bivol

[edgarg]

The "Prez" is a politician on the take all the time."bounce back" his head has already been bounced enough by BIvol. "at a much higher weight". Another lie. 7 lousy pounds. Should be nothing for a "superman" like Alvarez.

This is the first time I've seen Alvarez since Golovkin 2 and I see I haven't missed anything much. He looked just as ordinary this time as he did against Golovkin, especially Golovkin 1. His bought and paid for judges did their best, but knew that if they gave Alvarez a draw or win, they'd have been hung from the rafters by the crowd , which certainly knew what they were seeing.

I wonder who tald Alvarez that the sloppy right hand to the body was a real punch. He must have thumbs of steel, otherwise, throwing his right hand like he does would break his thumb every time. And even if it lands it does no damage. you need the centre of the knuckles to do that.

Canelo going back to that good Mexican beef. Judges will be paid to have the first 6 rounds for Canelo instead of the first 4.

Comeback new belt in the making

It was reported by ESPN that Canelo would sign a two fight, $100 million contract. Bivol, then GGG.

But since losing to Bivol, all of the sudden, he has a three-fight contract?

This is a joke. Canelo doesn't deserve special treatment. He didn't give Plant, or Saunders or Smith, a rematch. Why does he get a rematch? Because he's butt hurt?

I'm sure they both will, but I wish neither Bivol or GGG would agree to fight Canelo. He doesn't deserve the opportunity. He should

Nah, it was 3 fight from the get-go, man. The idea was steamroller Bivol, get to GGG 3 money-spinner, then some kind of comedown, chill out fight in December.

I don't want to hear about "good judges" anymore. I've been watching boxing solidly for over 25 years and all three judges have been around forever, and lauded as good judges. They were establishment judges on Saturday night, seeking to keep the cash cow going. Not saying they took bribes, but its super sus. If they can be had, any judge can be had. Boxing will gain legitimacy once these adages of "protecting the cash cow", and "taking the belt from the champion" go away. The craziest thing is everyone KNEW COMING in that Bivol basically had to dominate this fight to essentially get a draw, and that's EXACTLY what almost happened. But there is no repercussions for these judges, no hearings, just everyone walks away glad that the right guy actually won. I expect sanctioning bodies, especially the WBC, to have favorites but the real issue stemming from this weekend is how much longer will this sport allow poor judging and outcomes to erode its legitimacy.

Why all the hate for Canelo tried to be great and lost. Go for ggG and then seek a rematch after a few more bouts if Bicol is that great beat Artur.

I do give Canelo a lot of credit for taking what I said was stylistically the most difficult opponent out there.

His toughest opponent since Golovkin, and most skillful boxer that he would've fought since Mayweather.

I tell you, if any rematch, Bivol is the betting favourite, not Canelo. Bivol is now pound for pound top 4 at least.

On the biggest win achieved between him, Usyk, Fury, Crawford and Inoue, he's got the biggest name victory.

People love to see Alvarez fail. It makes them feel better.

I can't see that he failed.... he got a massive payday has massive options and is still undisputed at 168. He may have lost the battle but he is definitely winning the war so far.

Canelo a con man, conning the gullible fans and buying the judges, identical scorecards and he won all of the first4 rounds so if there’s an accidental head butt that stops the fight, go to the cards and give it to Canelo. I think Canelo should fight Zurdo because we all know he won’t fight Benavides. Boxers should walk away from WBC and Canelo. GGG should fight Bivol at 168. WBC should beWorld BiggestCorrupt
