[Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7

[Saisher]

Golovkin just beat Murata via technical knockout in the 9th round

GGG vs Murata highlights and results: Gennadiy Golovkin beats Ryota Murata

Golovkin had a real hard time with Murata in the early rounds but in the 6th round he caught Murata with a lot of good punches in the head that turn the fight around in GGG favor, GGG is very much different from the GGG we've seen 8 years ago in this fight
but I still want to see the trilogy happen, hopefully, Canelo if he wins or loses against Bivol will also take the trilogy.

He was just observing Murata that's why he didn't get aggressive in the early rounds but he handled it accordingly, having a real hard time is an understatement. The fight becomes heated and officially started on the 3rd round where both of them are exchanging punches but it's somehow clear that GGG have already got a good points for continuously aiming at Murata's head.

The fight ended in the 9th round via TKO, and that's already good whereas it ended by a decision where things could possible go wrong hehe. Now, it's Canelo's turn to shine and make the trilogy into reality.

It's now Alvarez decision after his fight if his camp is really open for this possible trilogy. GGG managed to win and beat Murata in front of his fans, just the same with your observation. GGG heated after that 3rd round exchanging of punches. Murata tries to fight back but GGG already seen his advantage and takes care of it to win the fight.

Looking forward now to see the trilogy between GGG and Canelo, Alvarez can deal with it whether he wins or loses against Bivol, more on how the camp of Canelo's take regarding to this possible fight.

Canelo alvarez if he will win or loss in this fight I think the rematch is waiting against triple G who will win his match.
What a win by triple G in that match I am amazed that triple G even in his age he can still knocking down murata.
 I think it's better to focus back in training so that canelo alvarez will win in this match against civil and for sure he can.

Now, who is old?

Murata seems to be the one who was gassed out first, that one punch from GGG stopped the fight and he was then declared the winner.
Now, no more doubt for GGG, he is here to rule and the next fight would be against Canelo. Nice, we now have a chance to see a Trilogy if the rumor will happen.

Canelo alvarez vs. Triple G will coming soon for sure, cause triple G want to rematch canelo and if canelo alvarez will win also in his match against bivol without a doubt the will fight again with Triple G. And about triple G fight earlier all I can say is a big No only his age will getting old but his stamina and solid punches still saying that I am the king even if my body getting old but when my punch came to you you will realize I am still young to knockout you.

Canelo will win, just be positive because we are going to see the biggest fight this year.

A trilogy of GGG vs Alvarez has been requested by the fans, and after this, regardless on who will win, this will end the rivalry between the two champions. GGG has done his job, now it's time for Canelo to beat his opponent, it should be an impressive win coming from him to match the outcome of the Murata vs GGG fight.

[chaser15]

He was just observing Murata that's why he didn't get aggressive in the early rounds but he handled it accordingly, having a real hard time is an understatement.

GGG should not make that observation again once he faces Canelo lol. That was risky! It's just fortunate that GGG can handle Murata punches that's why the former think right away of a strategy that will shutdown Murata. The Japanese champion did his best. Salute to him for giving GGG a good practice lol.

And now what is left is Canelo taking down Bivol before the trilogy with GGG. Bivol has seen the underdog but his boxing credentials are not a joke. He has the chance to beat Canelo in this match even the provided odds to them are somehow too gap.

Time flies so fast. It's just less than a month before we can now able to see this fight.

Yeah, the ball is now on Canelo, GGG has done it, win against Murata, get his belt, but it was a very tough fight for him in the beginning. So the other part of the dancing partner has fulfilled it already. So let us just wait for Canelo then, hopefully there will be no derailing on the part of Bivol because he has a chance to pull an upset, although slim the chances are there.

Murata put up a good fight against GGG, there's a possibility that Bivol can also put up a good fight also against Canelo, we have underestimated Murata but he put up a gallant fight, Bivol can also put up a good fight he will not just go down without a good fight, I'm hoping that Canelo will win the fight just for the trilogy because it's what the community are asking and both fighters are not getting any younger.

I always knew that GGG will win but honestly I was expecting him to win by KO in the early rounds, but still a win is a win although it came late in the fight. GGG has to improve if he wants to beat Canelo, with the way he fight, we might see the same outcome on their rematch and Canelo will be the winner.

I'm hoping that Canelo will win the fight just for the trilogy because it's what the community are asking and both fighters are not getting any younger.

Just be optimistic because Canelo has never lost a fight after he lose to Mayweather, he is at his peak now so his chance of winning is very high.

I agree a win is still we have a saying in boxing style makes the fight, all of Murata's fight he is always moving forward and wants to have the upper hand and go toe to toe but GGG is GGG he knows the right time that Murata will give in if you notice he landed many of his punches on the head and face because there are no head movements that make it an easy target
Those many overhanded accumulation punches did it for Murata, this fight proves that GGG is a thinking fighter.
One thing is proven in this fight the chin is still strong and he can take a punch even from a knockout artist like Murata.

This is good news, I think we as fans were worried that GGG could lose this fight and this could delay or even deny the possibility to finally see the third fight of the trilogy, but now with this win I think it is very likely that we would do so, because even if Canelo were to lose against Bivol, something I do not think it will happen, GGG will still be interested in fighting Canelo, so unless Canelo changes his mind I think we will finally get to see GGG vs Canelo.

I'm really optimistic about that trilogy but not because I'm a fan of GGG but because I want to see them clash again for the third and last time, surely GGG is old enough but that's just a number and his skills and IQ in the ring are still sharp as ever. Many have doubted him that he will be lost in this fight but he fought and make that rumors stop. Now, it's Canelo's turn to unlock his key for the upcoming trilogy. His way might not be easy but I can still see that he will be hailed as a winner against Bivol.

Yes, it's Canelo's turn to officially unlock the chances of the trilogy to happen.

I'm not really concerned about GGG's age and look at his current build, still bulky and muscular, and even thinks he's not looked in the 40s.

Regardless, we all want to see the trilogy no matter what. Just curious here on what if Canelo loses the match, is Bivol have to take place or GGG will have another boxer on his timeline to defend his currently hold belts.

Canelo doesn't have any choice but to face GGG once he wins against Bivol. It's already a talk that they need to win their respective fight. I don't think Canelo will change his mind as he also likes to shutdown GGG once and for all to truly send the latter into retirement.

Before he can do that though, he needs to take down Bivol first who is also a strong boxer and currently a champion.

Canelo already has experience fighting at Bivol's weight class and I'm sure he can handle it.

What about scenario, if Canelo looses to Bivol? Canelo has experience fighting in light heavy, but against Kovalev, who (most experts think) stepped in the ring for a cheque or to sell his belt for few millions. Bivol is younger, faster, more hungry than Kovalev, who is more interested in punching women than Canelo in 2019. Even amateur career of Bivol is more successful than Kovalevs. Even though Canelo has experience in LH, this fight is going to a serious test for him.

To spice things up and another set of discussions:

Canelo Alvarez Enlists Oleksandr Gvozdyk as Sparring Partner for Bivol Bout

The 34-year-old Gvozdyk, a native of Ukraine and bronze medalist in the 2012 Olympics, was regarded as one of the top light heavyweights in the sport for the years that he was active, from 2014-2019.

While the Ukrainian is stylistically different from Bivol, Gvozdyk’s size, power, and reliance on using distance and straight punches should make him a more-than-adequate sparring partner for Alvarez. As a professional, “The Nail” rarely went the distance in his bouts.

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-alvarez-enlists-oleksandr-gvozdyk-sparring-partner-bivol-bout--165450

And so Alvarez training is in full swing, hired Oleksandr Gvozdyk to bring the best out of him in the LHW division.

Although the style might be different, he need to have a good sparring partner and as big as Gvozdyk not to emulate Bivol, but to gauge the power in this division.

Majority of the vote, voted for Alvarez but I wouldn't surprise with that I look at his footwork and agility training as well as real match footage you would see that he is really a good fighter but Bivol is not also an easy opponent with a 19-0 standing with a 58% KO ratio.

Let's see, Canelo has defeated plenty of undefeated fighters in the past, so this is not new to him, and the fact that he agrees to fight Bivol, that tells us that he can handle the power of Bivol. I still think he would win this fight, maybe not by KO but his boxing skills will dominate.
