    This is a genuine pick ‘em fight. I have felt Bivol has been coasting and fighting well within himself in his last 2 fights. I did not like Canelo’s performance against that version of Kovalev who kept him away with his jab for long periods. I think alongside Erroll Spence Bivol has the best jab in the game.

    Great fight but i am annoyed by ppv after paying a subscription during a fight drought

    I got Canelo 116-112 type of decision where people bend and do gymnastics to scream robbery

    Canelo is a legend. Constantly fights all the guys his biggest haters insist he will not.

    Prediction: DRAW

    Such a great fight. I’ve thought for a while that this is the hardest fight out there for Canelo. Bivol is a better version of Caleb Plant and Plant caused Canelo problems. It’s the style that Canelo finds the most difficult to deal with. Brilliant at distance and real good at moving. Very intriguing this one!

    I’m almost sure this goes the distance, I don’t see a KO for either man here. I’ll need to think more about it before I commit to an official prediction though

    Bivol will have to completely outbox Canelo to have a chance on the cards.

    Does that mean Bivol smashes him and gets robbed with a draw? ......I seem to remember this happening before....
    I mean if it's an actual draw Canelo will win wide.....I think we both know that.

    This is going to be a fixed fight like the last few of Clenelo's fights you idiots. Watch Bivol pitty pat and spar.

    I voted Bivol on points, but I think Canelo will win a dubious points decision. Is there a rehydration clause ?

    I've only heard MSM sources about this fight but nowhere that I trust to tell me when things are ACTUALLY really happening.
