    I doubt it, Canelo caught him with some big flush uppercuts in the first few rounds and Bivol didn't even blink.

      Canelo doesn`t have the power for 175. Bivol was caught with much bigger shots by bigger guys.

        Canelo landed flush uppercuts to bivols chin and didn't even tickle him. He tried hitting the man as hard as he could,and the Russian simply would not give. Going into the rematch bivol has had 12 rounds to pick apart canelos style,and will be able to capitalize even more on the weaknesses that he found during their fight. The guy is like a machine when he fights. Doesn't let outside noise affect him,and he's not the type to suddenly throw away his style and open up for canelo to hit him.

          Unlikely.

          Bivol's too big, doubt Canelo can hurt him.

          Can he beat him? Maybe. But I'd pick Bivol again for the rematch like I did the first one.

            So your saying Canelo never hit him ONCE? Rewatch the fight without the sound.

              Bivol beat Alvarez because he has a better ring IQ. The 2 things he did was:

              1. Use the 1st 4 rounds to get Alvarez timing...Bivol won those rounds close but it was fine with him because he was gageing the timing.

              2. In round 5, he upped his pace to test Alvarez conditioning... and finally his condition betrayed him. Once that happen, Bivol won all those rounds going forward decisively.


              Alvarez always fights at his pace because his conditioning sucks but no fighter (except GGG 1) really tested it like Bivol did.



              Now Bivol will never KO because of 2 reason:

              1. Saul beard is SOLID!

              2. If Bivol goes for the KO, he'll leave himself open from a hail mary from Alvarez.
              Canelo has met many great boxers, who beat him to the punch and out slicked him. That’s NOTHING NEW. What is new is Bivol bones didn’t break when he got hit.
              Canelo has always been a slower paced boxer cause he needs time to re- oxygenate. All that bulk requires LOTS of oxygen.

                As long as Bivol continues to throw combinations he’ll be fine. Canelo isn’t going to throw in bunches.

                  Yeah, he'll get KO'd in the rematch because he was soooo close to getting KO'd in the first fight.

                    Canelo has no answers for Bivol... Ginger got DOMINATED ... Bivol doesn't even have to change anything... Rinse/Repeat/Profit ...

                      I don’t know what you people were looking at. Canelo landed ZERO clean power punches. All were slipped or mostly, if not totally, blocked.

                      if you believe differently, please direct me to an example, a round and approximately when.
