Comments Thread For: Hearn Reveals 'More and More Likely' Bivol Bypasses June Date And 'Just Negotiate September Rematch With Canelo'

[TheOneAboveAll]

He stops Canelo in a rematch. Why? Because just beating him didn’t get him the star power he deserved for that win. He also didn’t go into gears while fighting Canelo. First three rounds he’s gonna fight on the back foot off the jab and from the fourth on he will start to walk him down. Bivol has another gear he didn’t show in that fight and it makes me think he stop Canelo next go round.

Yeah, I respect Canelo for wanting the rematch when he could for a much easier fight with Red Flag, but I see it the same way. Bivol never seemed like he got past 3rd gear in the first fight, so he may well have a couple more gears in him than he showed in the first fight.

It hasn't been formally announced, but Canelo has stated repeatedly in interviews that the fight MUST be at 175lbs. He wants to beat Bivol at his best 1.) for his own pride, 2.) because he knows he won't get full credit from fans if he wins a fight is at 168lbs because people will rightly say that he only beat a weight-drained Bivol and 3) because he still wants to be a LHW champion. What's not to respect about that?

It's hard to believe since canelo has never beat anybody good at their best. But either way I got carnelo by robbery. I'll believe it when it's officially announced

Well props to ginger then. Either way bivol better make this win even more clear or his ass is getting robbed

Yeah, I get that impression too. Bivol needs to win 11 rounds this time instead of 9.
