Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Tears Apart Hearn For Allowing Canelo To Face Bivol

If that fight would've been scored a draw, it would've been robbery of the year

I know that's why I said laughably in relation to the draw, it's sad to think the guy only has to make 3-4 rounds competitive to get a draw/"win" in some peoples estimations, whilst he's a great fighter you shouldn't have to be up against those type of odds but it is what it is at the end of the day.

trout or Lara. It was canelo who made those fights happen.

Yes, but was Ocar who paid the judges.

I mean, he’s not wrong this time. Terrible choice of fight and nothing I saw leads me to believe Canelo fairs any better in a rematch. He went from discussions of potentially being the best Mexican fighter in history to potentially ruining his entire career. He loses the rematch. Then what?

He's dammed if he fights, he's dammed if he doesn't.

Canelo is a very good fighter who was hyped as a great fighter by his promoters and the media. Take a close look at the 37 year old Roberto Duran, Lightweight champ in his prime for 6 years, fighting Iran Barkley and beating him for the middleweight title. How do you think Canelo would fare against this truly great fighter, even many years past his prime? I don't think he'd do very well. Roberto was an ATG, Canelo is a very good fighter. Levels, styles and ring IQ.

maybe, but Oscar wasn’t around last Saturday and those judges bent over backwards to try and save canelo from
losing

Your buying that crap ? Everyone knows Bivol . He smashed around Joe Smith , he smashed around Jean Pascal and he smashed around Sullivan Barrera. Everyone knows Bivol. Don't be so naive. Next time around, Bivol won't be so cautious. Bivol made sure he got a convincing victory. And he did. Next time, whether at 168 or 175, Bivol destroys Canelo. Take that to the bank.

I honestly think Bivol beats the brakes off of Canelo in the rematch now that he knows what to expect. As for knowing Bivol, I’ll admit I’ve only seen two of his fights prior to this one. I’ve followed boxing since the 80’s but the lack of knowledge of Bivol is on me. He never really caught my attention. I didn’t really have a pick in this fight but did comment that most (if not all) of the posters on here that have proven to REALLY know their boxing to the point that I always take the time to read their predictions (and who don’t write breakdowns based on biases) were all picking Bivol to win in a totally one sided fight. The guys in the know called this one almost perfectly.

More bitterness from Oscar. He talking like Canelo whole life is ruined by this loss. I respect him for chasing greatness and no way can any blame be laid at Eddies Doorstep.

Canelo controls his own career. His training team were clearly happy with the decision to fight Bivol.
I feel like Oscar has been back on the filth and sticking kitchen utensils up his UrAnUs.

Solid post. I was one of those guys!

he should have stayed beating up that trash at 168 and looking like a 'monster'. he will get made to look like a ****ing bum again in rematch (although probably get a decision)but then after he will drop down to 168 beat someone like john ryder and suddenly ' the real canelo is back!!!' and 'hes found his form again' his loser fans can claim hes unbeatable at 168 again and start comparing him to roy jones, calzaghe, ward etc like they did before.

I don't think anyone will ever say the bold. More likely Canelo will be pedestrian.
He's physically worn out. He's a veteran. Good luck to Canelo. I think he might be done.

All luster has been lost.

Canelo can do what he wants to do probably why he left. Oscar acting like his daddy/protector, out here making the man look soft.
