When Your Fighter Gets Exposed

[TernceBudCharlo]

I dunno

We’re humans at the end of the day

Flawed beings

Just enjoy fighters for they are, athletes foot and all.

Are you a New Yorker?

I enjoy watching canelo fight he is a great fighter, one of the best of this era, but to me he just hasn't proven he's the best, it's the opposite, many fighters have proved they're just as good as him. It's when his fans beat their chest and say he is invisible, will go up to HW and he power will use keep getting stronger and stronger, will finish usyk with a bodyshot since usyk is a euro bum.

Always have been one.

I wish all fighters would make moves like Canelo instead of just waiting around fighting Bum of the Month...

Why do people take it so personally, lose their temper at the world, refuse to admit they were wrong?

Let me put it this way. You've been beating your chest hard for 2 years now talking about how your guy is invincible, is better than Ali, will go up to HW and smash usyk, and can't do no wrong. We've been questioning that. Now that we have been proven right about EVERYTHING and you wrong, you think you would show some humility and admit you are not perfect.

But no, you double down on the hatred.

If my favorite fighter got his ass beat every minute of all 12 rounds, I wouldn't be making excuses like you all are.

Nahh u just make EXCUSES on why Crawford resume suks so bad!!!

What blows my mind was that people couldn't see this from miles away. The moment Canelo said he was going to fight Bivol, I knew he was screwed (provided the judges wouldn't rob Bivol). And then all these people were saying how he's going to make short work of Bivol. Even PROFESSIONALS had this belief, which for me truly is mind blowing and makes me wonder how good these coaches really are. Maybe this is why you only have a handful of good matchmakers? I don't know. What I do know is that as soon as the betting lines opened, I was placing my bet.

I think the lunacy truly took over when there was talk of fighting Usyk, and people were serious about it. Could you imagine if that fight actually happened? Usyk would have walked across the ring, picked up Canelo and tore him in half.

The truth of the matter is that Canelo should be on his knees, thanking God that it was Bivol he fought and not Beterbiev. He might have won some rounds against Beterbiev in the beginning unlike Bivol (because he really did lose every round except round 9), but Beterbiev would have given Canelo a one-way ticket straight to Hell.

I’ll be the first to admit it. I thought Canelo would walk right through Bivol.

I’m not the one taking the shots so I don’t take it personally. When Wilder lost I wasn’t even mad or sad. I’m fact I enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd fights better than the first one.

NSB is boring these days. There is more bait threads complaining about fanaticism than their is actual fanatics. Boxing is funner with fan bases and hype. I don't see much fervor anymore other than the usual ldbc activism. I thought Fury might liven things up but he's become a pompous diva in contention with being champion.

I called the Canelo/Bivol fight a 50/50 proposition. I'd still pick Canelo to defeat Andrade and Charlo at 168. Nothing I saw at 175 against Bivol has changed my mind. Bivol did everything right but if his defense had not been near perfect, the fight might still have ended differently.

Also, Bivol is better than those underachievers at 160, by a lot.

yeah u are right, there are no excuses for this one, unless nelo rematches and wins at 175 his fans need to accept his limitations have been laid bare (again)

We won't! The judges sold themselves and we want Usyk!

Soft BETA Males who see Fighters as the ALPHA Males they WISH they was so they more protective over Men they don't even know probably more so than their own families

You have Cowards attacking Bivol Wife, that says it all. Boxing Fans are complete GARBAGE and if you're on this forum then you already know how F^CKING FICKLE AND WEIRD a lot of these guys are and how Emotionally Attached they are to some of these fighters. Male Groupies!

I don't think Alvarez has been exposed, he has just been beaten.

People who are honest, have always known? That Alvarez lacks gears, endurance is under par, and his movement I would even rate it as world class.

I have always known this, and I have always stated it time and time again during debates.

Alvarez is a great fighter, just a level below fighters such as Floyd Mayweather Junior, Roy Jones Junior & Manny Pacquiao etc.

Note: I picked Alvarez to beat Bivol. I had never seen Bivol fight, but I did watch sections of his fights before I made my prediction.

I don't really rate Bivol super highly compared to some past fighters. He just seems like a bigger well disciplined, basic fighter with top quality physical attributes. I don't see any monster power, don't see any genius type creativity, or off the charts endurance.

I think Alvarez can find a way to win the rematch. If Alvarez had Joe Calzaghe's or Carl Froch's endurance? He would of probably just about beat Bivol.
