Comments Thread For: Canelo Stands Firm on Bivol at 175: Same Rules, Same Terms, Same Everything!

[boxingitis]

Canelo couldnt KO Ryder, how can he stop Bivol at 175?

Make it at 168 to atleast to have a chance

Bivol needs to unfiy vs Beterbiev

Canelo needs ro fight Benavidez

Two great fights instead of one uneven fights

[_original_]

Really dumb move if Canelo pushes through with this. Benavidez is a much more marketable and winnable fight for him in HIS division. Bivol is a suicide mission for Canelo physically and career wise.

with him saying that I can only conclude that he will go in to that fight with his body full of drugs to aid stamina and strength... There is just no way he can go into the rematch with Bivol thinking he will win based on their first fight and this recent fight with Ryder. He would almost certainly need artificial help just to be able to hang with Bivol.

im still lost on how this man, who has all four belts in one division, with 4 #1 contenders waiting for a crack at him; can go and fight another person, in another weight division, and then plan on another fight of the same for the next fight; all the while keeping all 4 belts??????

Wrong, my friend.

Canelo risks nothing fighting Bivol at 175.

If he fights David at 168 and stands in front of him like against Ryder, he risks everything.

i would give canelo a lot of credit if he took the bivol rematch at 175, thats a hard thing to do to fight some guy again who has a difficult style and is very good and who already beat u, i would be a bit amazed if he actually took that rematch on the same terms, but if he did fight him at 168 it would be viewed as a bit weak by some, even tho bivol seems to want that, there is even no real good in canelo winning the fight by judges call if the majority of people see him losing, that could be bad for him at his stage

[Madison Boxing]

the sad thing is it was close on the cards because judges gave canelo the first 4 rounds by default, canelo doesnt have to do much better in the rematch to avoid a loss, probably why he is keen on the rematch... we've seen in the past he will take a robbery win and run with it and say he deserved it the guy has no shame

[willieb24]

Built in excuse if he loses.

Canelo is ducking. Bivol has no reason to fight Canelo at 175. At least fight at 168 so there's something in it for Bivol. And for those saying Bivol will be drained, just remember that Bivol is actually smaller than Canelo. He's a small 175er. Canelo fans are the only ones parroting the non-sense about Bivol being "too big".

My guy Canelo only won 2-3 rounds against Bivol and all 3 judges had it 115-113 Bivol. How in the world can you call me a hater when they tried to rob Bivol in a fight that he made Canelo look silly in??

Donât get upset that youâre a Canelo man fan and true boxing fans give true observations and you canât take it.

I'd even say that I still have doubts about Canelo deliberately being on PEDs and that he has a lot of qualities as a person and a fighter and I realize that he is not the judges but there is nothing worse than when he is given rounds he did not win. If Bivol had slipped and fell and they counted it a knockdown, Canelo would have won a fight that he was dominated in which is criminal. Bad judging hurts Canelo's reputation indirectly or directly, which may not be right, but it is still a stigma that he carries. So the motto is "Get rich with Canelo, but expect you could be robbed in a close fight or not a close fight".
