Comments Thread For: Leonard Ellerbe Doesn't View Dmitry Bivol As An Elite Level Fighter: "He's a Solid Guy"

[Boricua181]

On the rematch canelo bivol, ellerbe thoughts are now

“He can't beat him,” Ellerbe continued when asked if Canelo can beat Bivol if he comes down to 168. “Styles make fights. No matter what he does, the guy [Bivol] is big & strong. He's not just going to stand there"

this is called learning as u go, on the job training lol

Great point brother Smash.

This solid guy would whoop every fighter you work with and have ever worked with

[Boricua181]

His opinion is biased and he speaks with a forked tongue. You have to ask what are his standards for being considered "elite"? Anytime u can get in the ring with a highly skilled, experienced guy like Canelo, the so called face of boxing, even if he's having a bad night, and make him miss and make him pay all night long and come out of the ring having taken no punishment at all, if that doesn't stamp Bivol as elite, then what more does he have to do? In addition to that, he has dominated everyone he faced b4 Canelo. He did Canelo just like he did everyone else. If you watch his fights and come away saying he's not elite, you're either ****** or ur biased and have an agenda. And Lizard Elephant most definitely always has an agenda. And in this situation, his agenda is that Bivol gave Canelo a boxing lesson, and the only other person who really did that was Floyd. And Floyd did it to a much younger, less experienced Canelo. Everyone knows how salty Floyd and his team can be- they can't have no one ever making comparisons to Floyd or his performances in any way, so they have to always discredit other guys outside of their influence. They highly praise and brown nose guys they wanna sign, like Boots Ennis, and anyone who doesn't f.ck with them, they say they're just ok. Salty ass mofos

Exactly! I thought archiemoore was retired, and here he is making a comeback, actually I've read many of your comments, and the old mongoose knows his boxing.

I think this is the first time Ive ever agreed with Ellerbe.

[JeBron Lamez]

Can I make fun of his 30 year supply of turtlenecks? or is that also gay?

Yeah you can xD

Ellerbe insight needs to be respected, look at how he applied it to another canelo fight

“He can’t beat Caleb,” said Ellerbe when discussing a matchup between Alvarez and Plant. “He has all the wrong things for him. Trust and believe that. What you guys have seen is just glimpses of Plant. Styles make fights, he has everything that he needs to beat Canelo. Y’all say he can’t punch but he can punch, he’s a tremendous boxer, he has great defensive skills and most importantly, he’s a thinking fighter.”

nostrils is such a moron

[TheCell8]

He's not wrong. Bivol is a solid, technical fighter. There's nothing about him that's explosive or flashy. He has OK punching power and good speed.

However, those are the type of fighters that can beat Canelo. Which means Canelo ain't all that either.

[SUBZER0ED]

I suppose this is Ellerbe's indirect way of saying Canelo ain't all that. Discounting Bivol, who beat Alvarez better than his boy Floyd did, is a cheap shot, though.

[GhostofDempsey]

Ellerbe’s claim to fame is that he just happened to suck the right d!ck at the right time. Bivol has earned his place as an elite level fighter in the P4P top ten.
