Comments Thread For: Bivol 'Not 100%' Sure if He Can Make 168 For Canelo Rematch

[Echo Hawk]

smoke and mirrors maybe?

[hhh1200]

He can make it just as good as Dawson but he won't be the same fighter and he knows it. Lubin can make 147 but says the cut takes something out of him vs. 154. A little less, Canelo keeps it closer and wins with 115-113 flipped rigged cards. Fanboys will run around and say Canelo beat a young 175 fighter. It is what it is.

171-172 catchweight all the belts, 50/50 -55/45 purse split put in the middle east for exposure,$,& judges. bringing nelo there is good to grow boxing, middle east is a tax break & overpays. Judges are clearly in canelo favor in vegas compromise bigger check to equal to take home. Saudi or uae would pay 100m for such a fight. 50-55m nelo-45-50m bivol both take home 30-35m which is more than take home after tax anywhere else. Anwhere else take home is 15-20m after tax

If it's at 171-172 how can the 168 belts be on the line??

Sounds like he's angling for more money. If he refuses to fight at 168 he's officially ducking the rematch. Deep down he knows a fully motivated Canelo at 168 is a different beast.

Rediculous, it's a rematch, same weight same rules, if nelo tries to dry out or clause Bivol at all, that's the duck.

Why doesn't Canelo just come in lighter then?

[SUBZER0ED]

A fully motivated and prepared canelo can beat bivol but can he even get up for it anymore is the question.

Canelo took this fight to set a record for becoming a Mexican two-time LHW champion. He knew who he was up against. How could he not have been fully motivated and prepared? You guys kill me with this crap; "Well, he wasn't really ready this time, but NEXT time boy, watch out!

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Carnelo fans back to delusional mode lol

[SUBZER0ED]

Bivol is a LHW champion. Canelo tried to take that from him at that weight and failed. If Bivol is willing to risk himself, by cutting down to a smaller man's size to prove he can still beat him, so be it. But if this is all just for Alvarez to avenge his loss, to hell with that!

Bivol will drop Clenelo in a rematch.

Canelo thinks he won so obviously he's not going to be able to make the right adjustments, if he's even capable.
