does canelo still think he can beat usyk?

Funny how Canelo and his fans swept that right under the rug right. It's all of a sudden like oh it never happened and they literally said that he could beat Usyk. Such a joke.

Also this is literally ****** there was nothing whatsoever controversial about this victory for Usyk.

Usyk is lucky they didnt have instant replay of Dubois' hook landing clean on his belt line and the commission overruling the ref.

considering he already broke his promise to rematch Bivol and is ducking his mandatory at 168, i guess 200+ is off the table now days

Remember when they did instant replay for Franco-Moloney II?

Moloney punched Franco and caused a cut. Ref ruled it as a result of a headbutt. Fight was stopped.

They watched video for like an hour after the fight looking for the headbutt. They couldn't find one.

They ruled it ND for Franco anyway.

I was coming here to say just this!

I like the idea of instant replay but I don't like that it would stop the action during the fight. That can easily cost one fighter or the other the fight. It would have to be implemented in a way that doesn't disturb the flow of the fight.

They could do it by having enough judges so each judge could score every other round and have time when needed to review shots. So for example, eight judges, each scoring 6 rounds staggered by a round. It might make the scoring more consensus based as well, which I would be ok with.

Looking back, that was such a crazy statement. I can imagine Canelo and Reynoso believed it at the time too.
