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

[lienfaye]

Canelo Alvarez highly confident for Dmitry Bivol fight

As usual, Canelo is just Canelo, always ready and confident against anyone even as mentioned in the article, he should be worried about the size, power & technical ability of Dmitry Bivol. In the first place, thinking about those things that will destruct a boxer won't really help that's why being worried shouldn't have any room.

Being confident is just natural for him because he's a legendary boxer. We cant expect any boxer to express their worries because of their opponent and its also not good to see as a fan right? Anyway Bivol is not just an ordinary boxer, he is a tough guy so it wont be easy for Canelo to get the title. But im looking forward for him to win this fight so he can face GGG again.

[Kemarit]

I haven't seen Canelo underestimate his opponents though that's why he is very successful. His work ethics and attitude have been mold to really train with 100% and give his everything in every fight.

I have seen an exclusive interview, he seems to be arguing with demetrius andrade and Cenelo said some harsh words but he doesn't seem like the grumpy type, he is a very cold person and he will vent his anger with hard punches during boxing matches. So I think Canelo is very wise in discussions but as a normal person, patience also has its limits.

It's because Andrade has been calling out Canelo for the longest time. The problem with Andrade is that he has no bargaining power and so Canelo will obviously get mad at him because for him Andrade is just looking for a payday before he retires. So yes, he is calm but calculated boxer. And he always just wanted to fight the best just like Bivol in this weight class.

There's no doubt about that because even if Canelo would fight a certain boxer but the promoter sees it not a profitable fight, then that wouldn't happen. Boxing is business, we are always talking about profit over the personal interest of a fighter, and Canelo's job is just to fight, while the promoter's job is to ensure that the fight will generate the expected money.

Yes, that is another angle as well, not good revenue for the promoters, hence they are not willing to give the fight to Andrade. Although again, he is American, he is not well know as compare to the last fighters that Canelo fought. So doesn't make sense for Canelo so he chooses Bivol and then will go after GGG. So more money for him and his promoters.

So doesn't make sense for Canelo so he chooses Bivol and then will go after GGG. So more money for him and his promoters.

Canelo knows the game, he will fight a champion, defeat a champion and go with the anticipated GGG vs Canelo before GGG will retire. The good thing here is, if he beat GGG, that speculation will be over and people will see Canelo is better than GGG, he is at the right timing IMO.

[Theones]

Yes a fight that was once lost is lost forever but in-terms of boxing that quote may not be applicable at all times because even if you're lost, you can also avenge that defeat in-order to prove yourself again but that also depends on the result of the 1st fight if a rematch is indeed interesting to make and I bet these boxers we are talking now will really give their best and to entertain the crowd/fans.

Losing a boxing match doesn't mean the fight is over, because if a boxer tries to train hard to prove himself to be a strong boxer and has the potential to put up a spectacular fight, promoters will consider a rematch. The Promoter holds all the decisions for the boxing match and if the first fight is high earning it is possible that a rematch will be scheduled by the promoter. Perhaps the same case occurred in Fury vs Wilder which had been scheduled for 2 rematches of the first boxing match since 2018.

you are right that mate once the fighter will loss that's not mean his career is over and we all know that every legendary boxer has experienced losing cause when they are in the fight and loss for sure after that they learn some lesson and to used in the fight in order to win in the rematch or in other fight. And that's The reason why they have a promoter, the promoter decides when they schedule for fight again in order to be prepared.

valid point though. Let's see if he is going to remove that stain and come back.
Fortune favours the bold. Let's see what is coming up next. Cheers!

Correct. In this kind of sport, confidence to win brings more composures to your system. Canelo has that mentality not to worry but to keep pushing himself, doing his usual trainings to prepare for this upcoming fight. Bivol is not a champion for nothing, he also has that strong power and will in beating his opponent.

It's very really great to see if both fighters will bring the fight to the best hypes exchanging solid punches and try to KO one another.

He continue to established his name as one of the prime fighter from this sport, once he beats Bivol the he might fight GGG to

finished the business, then he will go back to this division again to fight another Bivol type of fighter to continue adding to to his

resume, we know how good Canelo and he's still at his prime, he can beat more big fighters to make more money and fame.

Yes, there's no new about that because the current Canelo who is also on the peak of his prime is really unstoppable and truth to be told is that I can't see him losing a fight few years from now because his talent is unique that he keeps on learning every single fight he had even if he's the victorious one.

Bivol may be challenging to him as well as GGG but we will definitely get the very same result.

While Canelo is highly confident as I shared previously:
Canelo Alvarez highly confident for Dmitry Bivol fight

Dmitry Bivol also has the same mindset:
Dmitry Bivol: I have beaten everybody that I have fought, I believe I can beat Canelo

I like how Bivol praised Canelo while at the same time, saying "Every boxer has their strengths and their weaknesses. Nobody is perfect. My goal is to focus on my strengths and use them to my advantage."

He is right about that and I like his determination. The goal now is how to unleash that strength while at the same time, protecting their weakness. I hope that confidencece will be shown once they finally faced in the ring.

Bivol must be a strong contender at this moment. And it seems like he is now very ready to face the king days from now. He should be very confident. A little doubt in his mind would be like a tiny leak that would break everything eventually as more pressure comes. His confidence should be kept intact and whole when he is already inside the lion's den and feeling the strength of Canelo's blows. It is one thing to say you can defeat Canelo while sitting down, it is another when you are already being hit by his punches.

That's why we always have devastating results in the boxing fight where champions lose to some regular challengers because the challengers have all the will and determination to defeat the champion at any legal cost. We have already seen how quickly can turn things around when the boxer has all the necessary practice to counter his opponent's skills and sometimes it works and they defeated the champion.

Preparation always count, I mean in each way if you know how to anticipate your opponents attack, you can counter things the right way.

In both side, fighters are known to be solid or heavy puncher, it's more on how solid the practices and trainings that each fighter will determine

to undergo to take some good advantage when they both inside the ring. Still going to depend from how the turn of events will take place when

they both fighting inside the ring.

For speculations to be over, he should have beaten GGG more impressively in their second fight, but not by the help of judges. People will never stop to speculate. They will always say that he should have beaten GGG when GGG was in his prime and etc. For me, Canelo and GGG now have 1:1 in their series, not a draw and a win by Canelo.

P.S. If Bivol wins, he will face GGG instead. Right ?

He should have but instead he didn't gave GGG a trilogy because he won on the 2nd fight, that move makes me believe that he's afraid to risk his status for a trilogy that could've possibly defeat him. No one could deny that GGG is the biggest challenge that Canelo had faced. Speculations won't be over especially now that GGG is not in his prime anymore.

P.S. If Bivol wins, he will face GGG instead. Right ? 

More like if Bivol wins, Canelo will certainly ask for a rematch.

If he beats GGG with a considerable KO, this kind of speculation might be done, but beating him in another judges decisions continue to linger the thought that he's not superior to GGG and this trilogy should take place, but for sure there are many opinions about it and it won't stop till they see both fighters inside the ring and that's how promoters also wanted it, they want to collect a good amount of money out from these two boxers popularities.

This speculation is too far-fetched even to be discussed at this time. now our focus is only on Canelp and Bivol because it is a match that will be played by them.
apart from that, for now it is certain that they are against GGG but there is no need to use it as if GGG will play because our focus must still be on Canelo and Bivol now.
as for GGG maybe for later this will be discussed but of course it must be after their match ends (Canelo and Bivol).

There is no turning back now, just watched a few clips of Bivol, however, I'm still not convinced that he might pull the biggest upset in boxing this year.

One of his sparring partner, Benavidez who is also been groom to fight Canelo in the future says that he is a 1-2 combination guy. If that is his strength then for sure Canelo and his team has a plan already on how to counter that. So I'm not sure if he is going to hurt Canelo with that combo and Canelo might time that to hit a counter left hook to score a knock down or knock out.

Yeah, but it's more on an ego thingy. He really need to beat GGG convincingly as we might say that he won in a controversial manner.

Although I will have to say that Canelo is already a better fighter in terms of accomplished as he had multiple belts in different division but GGG chooses to stay at his comfort zone of 160 lbs. Fight is getting nearing, and this could be another great fight for this year but I still see Canelo winning against the tough Bivol at 175 lbs.

I haven't seen Bivol train recently but if we take the words of Benavidez testifying that Bivol remains to be the 1-2 combination guy, I am afraid he cannot defeat Canelo. I have seen a number of Canelo fights in the past and it is always amazing how he has an excellent head movement. This slugger could penetrate an opponent with just his head movement. I don't think Bivol will prevail over Canelo if he will stick to his 1-2 strategy.

Of course, no one could defeat Canelo if he is not better than Canelo.

He needs to train harder to match the hard work of Canelo because this guy is on his prime and he is making it look easy every time he fight. Bivol has to protect his belt, he is the champion and should not be intimidated by the power of Canelo, and it can only be achieved if he is very serious in winning.

[bittraffic]

Hope the fight doesnt end like how we expect Shakur to lose because Valdez is the most experienced between them. Canelo for sure is the best we know but if turn out Bivol knocking out Canelo, were once again lose another week's pay from sig campaign lol. Had the hard time accepting the fact that Valdez lose.

Anyway, Canelo still is the most power puncher in the class. Wish us all good luck. 3 more days to go.
