Again, who would not like Bivol, he is so humble, no trash talk just wanted to give the fans a good fight. And that mentality though, so let's see how he will do against the best fighter in Canelo Alvarez.

I just watched their final stare after the weigh-in a while ago and their fist bump is a proof that Bivol is a humble fighter.
I still remember how Saunders and Plant trashtalked Canelo in their fights and we know what happened.

Bivol is focused in the fight and not in the trashtalk because its useless in the ring. I also saw some predictions online and all of them are predicting Canelo on winning in this fight because why not? I mean Canelo is dominating every opponent in his past fights. From Trout to Kirkland to Saunders to his latest opponent Plant. I'm not underestimating Bivol as well though since he will not be a champion if he isn't that strong. I will watch this tomorrow for sure .

Actually, all predictions are in favor of Canelo. At this point in Canelo's career, everyone thinks that no one has the chance of beating him in his weight-class zone.

Only an upset will break all these views about Canelo and Bivol is the one who will try it later on.

Sit back and relax. We will now witness this fight that we wait for a long as this fight will also be a ticket for us to see the trilogy of Canelo and GGG if the former will win this fight. In the event of Bivol winning the match, I'm excited to see what will be the post-effect of this match on both boxers.

While Canelo is the favorite it would not surprise at all if Bivol actually won, GGG and Mayweather have been the hardest fights for Canelo so far and this fight against Bivol has the possibility of becoming as hard as those fights as he is moving to a new division and fighting a champion, but fortunately for us now the time we have to wait to watch the fight is minimal as now we are only counting the hours before they face each other above the ring.

I don't think so even though this is something quite new plus Bivol is one young boxer who is still very good in terms of performance but of course he is not an opponent to be expected with Canelo.
He wouldn't stand a better chance in my opinion and even boxing legends have said things like that.
Even though it seems dismissive but this is a bit of fact

Well it will happen, I came to this thread to offer a bet that we provide on Duelbits with ODDS which is quite tempting. Canelo vs Bivol v will certainly appeal to gamblers who love this boxing. It has been highly anticipated for a long time so I hope people can visit our site and place their bets.

Waiting for this fight to happen. Bivol knows he is on the spotlight here so whatever he will say can be used against him. So better keep mum and let do the talking his performance come this fight. Canelo is like at the prime of his career so no doubt many are believing on him with his capability even if he is the one going up with the weight division.

Bivol is like that he did not change because he is facing Canelo he doesn't trash talk and is very quiet he never chooses to be mum it is just his character, and about the prime of his career they are both in the prime of their career, it's just Canelo is too experienced and probably stronger than Bivol, Canelo is the heavy favorite here but I will admire Bivol more if he takes the fight to the distance, and I believe he can do it.

Bivol is a champ. I like him so much and follow him. His fight with Canelo is something fans have been waiting for. I like the strength of both the boxers but I will bet on Bivol. But that is correct too Canelo is too experiences as compared to Bivol and his strength and speed is amazing. Lets see who takes the lead.

Both are champions of their respective divisions but Canelo is the undisputed but I respect your bet on Bivol, I know he can make this fight interesting as he can and will likely go for a tough toe-to-toe match few hours from now. It's just it's hard to bet against Canelo who is currently on his prime. We will see who will be the winner

I just happen to see how much they are getting from this fight. And indeed, Canelo is heavily favored here with a guaranteed purse of $15M, and 70% PPV, whereas, Bivol has only guaranteed purse of $2M and will only receive 30% PPV. If for some reasons, Bivol will emerge victorious for this match, very likely that he will get much better share for his next fight. But in any case, that amount is already good as we are just starting to get out of this pandemic.

We all have our own opinion in this fight, and most of the time we argue as we all have our own analysis on how this fight will turn out to be.

And I will agree with you that Canelo is on his prime at 30's still hungry and wanted to get more championship belt. So I will go with Canelo here and this could be a quick match.

Earning that much just when you are just starting or at the peak of your career is an awesome achievement, there will be more coming fights he can surpass Mayweather and become the new money man, he still has 10 to 15 fights before he retires, and imagine he could be retiring with close to $500 million or more on shares, bonuses, and sponsorships.
Canelo is really on top of this world he has everything fortune and greatness and the guy is humble.

[judeafante]

Wow, this is a huge upset it's almost a complete shut out I have 8 4 rounds in favor of Bivol, Bivol totally dominated him he frustrate Canelo a lot by blocking his punches and going toe to toe against Canelo, I wonder if the GGG fight will still push through, hats off to Bivol he prepares really for this fight.
Glad that all the judges play it fairly not because Canelo is a huge superstar.

[Jawhead999]

Ugh 36 users (including me) fucked up with their bets

Watching the early rounds where Bivol can give a pressure to Canelo, I'm already expect the match will be interesting... but I didn't expect Bivol would win lol. Well Canelo is really struggle especially on the 8th round where he fall, I don't know what's happen, Bivol didn't hit him, perhaps he's tired. Bivol is really protecting his left and right face with his both hands, so the weakness will be on his chin, that's why Canelo often do uppercut to Bivol. But it seems Canelo's uppercut didn't really hitting Bivol's chin.

I can say this match is one of biggest upset I've seen, Canelo as the best pound for pound on the middle weight, can't beat the champion on the light heavyweight. If the fight against Makabu didn't get cancelled, I think Canelo might know how powerful of light heavyweight boxer punch.

Huge upset indeed.

Bivol is just too big and quick for Canelo this time and those punches that Canelo threw had no effect on Bivol. What a domination of Bivol on Canelo, you are right, glad that the judges played it fair though i think they must have given two more rounds for Bivol.

We can say for now that Canelo is not made for the Light heavyweight division and his planned trilogy with GGG might go as planned as it may serve as a comeback fight for him with an opponent who is very beatable.

Congrats to all who bet for Bivol, what a win.

I've never seen Canelo so disappointed in a fight have you seen how he takes his breath he is really tired going into the later rounds, we've known Canelo to be very good in the later rounds but in this fight, he has shown tiredness and disappointment most of his punches are blocked, he was being hit and those Bivol counter took a toll on his body.

Bivol proved all of us wrong, first Canelo is not that invincible second he is not a second-class fighter people pictured him to be, we all thought this fight is just another road to greatness for Canelo.

CBS Sports scored it 119 - 109 for Bivol, Canelo is really outclassed here, even if he loses I still want to see him fight Golovkin.

[TravelMug]

^^ Indeed, what a performance from Bivol, Canelo has a difficulty penetrating Bivol's high guard defense and then Bivol's 1-2 is hitting Canelo.

And whatever Canelo try to rally and somewhat winning the round, Bivol will make a comeback jab, straight, straight. I guess Canelo was exposed here, and probably 175 lbs is too big for him.

[Dave1]

I never expect the outcome of the fight. It seems to me that Canelo has an off-night. Not to make excuses though, Bivol is really good and not overrated. But something is missing on Canelo, timing is off, didn't see the punch out put and was never in the fight from the first round.

With his loss to this weight division, he may go back to super middleweight. And now, time to face GGG again. Will this loss affect the odds as well as purse split if in case Canelo vs GGG will happen this year? GGG came out as winner over Murata.

But on the other hand, with Bivol's win, he may be seeing better purse split for his next fight. We have seen the gap of purse split between Canelo and Bivol. This is the consolation of Canelo for this fight, getting much higher paycheck even if he lost this match.

gg vs canelo will be more accurate, it's an unfinished business.

canelo was surprised how quickly bivol can reach him with a combo. congratulation to the winners. definitely, bivol gave his best. impressive performance though there is no knockout but almost saw what i expect the fight to be. i was rooting for a KO, didn't happen. a loss still.

Canelo's added weight perhaps?

Bivol was just too disciplined in that fight and never let his guards down even if he knows that he is winning the fight. That jab really frustrates Canelo as he can't get the gap close and the volume of punches that Bivol threw was amazing though not all connected but most of it somewhat hurt Canelo.

I don't if there was a rematch clause on this one but if indeed there is a rematch I think the output would be just the same.

I don't think a boxer as great as Canelo can't have an off night he's been doing this for many years already, it's just that Bivol has a counter on his every move do a replay, and check every Canelo move, he is trying to bait Bivol just like he did on so many of his fight, but Bivol has a different game plan, Canelo has given Bivol a lot of body shots so many of these are blocks, and this frustrate him.
Golovkin will have insight on this fight when they fought, I have doubt now if Canelo will take Golovkin immediately he will have to take other middleweight fighters to get his confidence back.

[aioc]

I don't if there was a rematch clause on this one but if indeed there is a rematch I think the output would be just the same.

They were both asked about a possible rematch and they both agree, Canelo should move on and go for Golovkin or other middleweight champions like Andrade or Charlo, I don't think the result will be the same if they meet again.

Canelo was just surprised on Bivol's flexibility he has counter moves and manages to slip on his big punches, this Bivol has a future in the light heavyweight and cruiserweight or even the heavyweight division, he is a very polished boxer.
