Comments Thread For: Bellew: If Canelo is On His A-Game in Rematch, I Think He Beats Bivol

[dirty fingers]

Some boxers apparently don't know **** about boxing!

[Silence]

169 lber, motivated, boxer Canelo gives hell to Bivol with good gameplan. Even Bivol's himself said that Canelo threw only unnecessary power punches and gassed out early. Bivol expected much better fight from Canelo.

Although I do also believe canelo can do much better in rematch against bivol ,bellew also needs to keep in mind bivol can also adapt to whatever canelo brings fight night being the taller,lengthier, stronger and of course the more established boxer in the 175's but we wont know for sure til rematch actually happens next year

[Baerbock]

The in and out movement and combination punching of Bivol is just too much for Canelo. in Rematch, Bivol will be throwing more because he now knows nelo's tool-set and he can take Canelo's punches. I don't now if that's a good idea for Nelo team.

Canelo for his size disadvantage will have to throw more (combinations and doubling up his jab) and use his feet a lot more to hold the center of the ring (not moving to the ropes but circling instead).

I personally don't think he can do that without getting gassed.

If he tries to shot 1 and 2 punch combinations only, Bivol is going to see those coming all day long from a mile away.

Ahahaha.

Bellew’s living in a dream world.

Canelo will have to get ultra fit and light on his feet to cut the ring off and pressure Bivol, without blowing out his ass, use more combination punching instead of massive single shot.

And even then, he’s out of his depth because Bivol will regulate that distance all night

[P to the J]

Bellew beat the prime out of David Haye. Nash out.

Great to see Flintoff’s stellar career get the recognition it deserves. Even if the haters on boxing scene aren’t feeling him

[TheCell8]

He was on his A-game, the other guy was just on another level.

[Jab jab boom]

What some fail to comprehend was that the version of Canelo that showed up against bivol, is the same exact Canelo we’ve seen for the last several years. What changed was the level of competition.

[just the facts]

He was clearly off his game and even leading up to the fight the focus was there the desire was visibly missing… I can’t put my finger on what exactly it wa so I’m sure the people in his circle know, but it’s unprofessional and disappointing to his team and disrespectful to the sport to cash those millions and not be at your absolute best! Don’t want to take anything away from Bivol he did his thing and much much respect and props to him and his team he deserved the win that night! But like Tony said, if Canelo comes 100 in the rematch, he will beat Bivol… easily

I think your way off base. Bivol easily beat Canelo by having a solid defense and an unbelievable control of distance. The way to beat that is with reach or fast footwork. Canelo has neither. Unless Bivols skill level slips really, really sharply, Canelo will never beat Bivol. Ever……..
