Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Suggests That Canelo Will Need To Make Drastic Changes To Beat Bivol

[hhh1200]

They fight was 115-113 with rigged cards. All he has to do is push Bivol down and it's ruled a knockdown. He wins the rematch by 1 point on all cards. We know how this works.

hoya just trolling since his little boy nelo and him fell out and hoya said in a coke fuelled moment he wants to fight nelo & would beat him as hes too slow for him, he loves to chime in on nelo now and then after that i think

I don't take anything DLH says seriously. That's like believing everything that Tyson Fury says. I don't think Canelo can change his style this late in the game. Maybe could benefit from getting angles, but Bivol is very talented, and his style is always going to give Canelo fits. What was disappointing to me is that Reynoso and Canelo had no adjustments at all mid fight.

Besides, the fight everyone should want at light heavy is Bivol v Beterbiev.

drastic meat infusions into canelo's body

Canelo before Bivol fight was the most overrated boxer ever. Bivol fight was a reality check for boxing community.

You just take a world level fighter, that is not old, washed up, scared and has some skills and power and Canelo doesn`t look some unbeatable destroying maschine.

this is why a guy like floyd never fought prime fighters. he didnt want the illusion of his invincibility to be shattered, even though a guy like prime castillo already shattered it. that was the last time he stepped in with a top fighter near their prime unless you count drained 152 canelo who barely beat trout at 154 the fight before so hardly in his prime or at his best weight. at least canelo fights prime fighters even though the decisions are often dubious and even though he waits a bit too long.

draining someone with weight stipulations is pretty drastic, who the hell would do such a desperate act?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Bivol should say to Canelo`s team: give me 15+ millions for a rematch or f.uck away.

They have already tried to rob him.

Fishnets is actually right on this one Lol.

I 100% disagree. I think Bivols mastery of basics rivals any skill Cleneloterol has. Cleneloterol still has no tempo, all these fights later every shot is a death blow, this is like year 2 amateurs.

Go back and rewatch, Bivol could have stopped him at any time, but he kept playing it safe and tentative. If he would have launched a proper assault, Canelo would have been stopped.

It wasn't endurance, that's the kool aid. He does this in every fight, waits for the other guy to slow and catch him. Bivol was just shutting him down and Clenelo turned into a Vinny Paz when he fought RJJ in those later rounds. When you keep missing and dinged for it, you eventually lower your output.

Bridge the gap? He lost 10 rounds!!!

If Canelo Alvarez had Joe Calzaghe type endurance. He probably beats Bivol.

Bivol is solid in every single area, but not really super elite at any specific skill.

He beat Alvarez with his endurance, speed and basic fundamentals. It was a straight forward game plan to execute.

Alvarez's inside game and defense on the inside is the one area where? He is superior to Bivol.

In all other area's accept movement and endurance, they are pretty much the same level.

Bivol can exploit the area's where Alvarez lacks, but? Alvarez is struggling the exploit the area's where Bivol lacks, due to having under par endurance and not many gears.

If Alvarez had greater endurance, and more gears to go through. With his superior inside game, I think he would cause Bivol issues etc.
