Comments Thread For: Oscar Valdez Expecting Canelo To Avenge His Defeat To Bivol

[crimsonfalcon07]

I'm impressed with Canelo's desire to face Bivol at LHW again, but he showed nothing in the Ryder fight or his training videos to suggest he's changed what he needs to beat Bivol. The only way the rematch turns out differently is if Canelo makes him fight in a 14ft ring, which he may well do.

I don't think that will matter either honestly. The bigger ring just gives Canelo more time in between being punched in the face by Bivol. Bivol is one of the best active boxers at interrupting an opponent's forward pressure with a combo right before the ropes and then disappearing to the side while the opponent is blinded by his punches. His sense of where he is in the ring and his timing is impeccable. The crazy thing to me is how easy he makes it look. That sort of thing is very difficult to do, but he made it look easy against both Canelo and Zurdo. He makes a lot of hard things look trivial, which might be why he was so underrated before.

He as about as much chance as you do of beating Shakur in a rematch.

His pendulum step footwork and active high guard are basic looking but he has the all the overall fundamentals honed and trained so well they become elite level assets to his game.

Hearing this from Valdez, i hope Bivol's team insists on stringent drug testing. More tempting now for Canelo to use PEDs to help gain revenge and restore some shine.

The key is stamina to defeat UDvol.

I disagree heavily, but can't blame Valdez for picking his friend.
