Looking forward to:
Canelo vs GGG 3 at Super MW

Beterbiev vs Bivol to unify light heavy

In my opinion I don’t think Canelo loses anything taking this chance against Bivol. A good big man usually beats a good smaller guy.

I don’t want the rematch right away for Bivol/Canelo.

I'm not a fan of Alvarez, but I think 175 is too much weight for him to fight at.
Looked slow, lack of stamina...
I give him credit for stepping up to fight a legit 175 champ.
And big props for him not making any excuses.

So glad the judges didn't rob Bivol of this moment. I was deeply concerned about the possibility of yet another joke of a decision robbing someone of a well deserved victory. Good for Bivol

Unbelievably, if Bivol hadn't won the 12th round it would have been a draw.
Alvarez didn't land double-digits in punches all night and only landed 74 punches total.

I honestly talked myself out of Bivol having a chance including ignoring those betting odds. I concentrated too much on his KO drought and a much greener Joe Smith rattling him at the end of a fight he handily won. I just saw a round by round highlight condensed version of the fight and there weren’t too many choice clips of Canelo. Remember didn’t one judge gave him a draw against Floyd? And then there was the first GGG fight.
EDIT: Did Canelo try any weight/weigh-in tricks like he did against Kovalez?

They mentioned the Mayweather decision last night, lol
What a joke.

No weight gimmicks at all.
I actually think Canelo would have been better off cutting weight like he was fighting at 168.
The first four rounds he looked competitive.
After that, he was incredibly slow and lethargic.
He was too heavy imo.
And to think he was talking about fighting Usyk next year.
