    Doubt this comes to a KO. Both have chin but does bivol have a chance for a decision? Im picking bivol here

    I think that this is going to be a close fight possibly split decision

    I mean to be fair that's what Bivol has been doing in his last couple of fights.

    Good. The Bivol/Big G combo>>Benavidez/Jermallo one

    Ideally I would prefer Bivol/Benavidez simply because of Big G's age, inactivity and him already being well past his prime the last time they fought. But Clenelo has been allowed to duck the third instalment of the trilogy with his 2 x surrogate father for way too long as it is and it will be nice to see Big G earn another king's ransom to add to the vast fortune he has already amassed.

    As old and grey and past it as Big G is, even if he's lost another step or two, I think I'd still favour him to KO Jermallo

    But Benavidez would beat both of them

    Great fight! Canelo is really challenging himself here with a very good, and very dangerous opponent in his prime at a weight that favors Bivol. Kudos to Canelo for making this fight happen.

    Canelo is already up 3 rounds. By the time he gets in the ring, he’s gonna be up 5-0.

    Which would mean a lopsided Bivol win.

    Bivol should take this on points but one has to wonder about the judges.

    Maybe more, remember the Canelo vs Cotto fight. It was very competitive and very close but the judges had it lopsided, like a near shut out.

    Won't really matter if there is one. Bivol is fighting in the wrong weight class for his size anyway. Could easily make 168

    Calling it now, Bivol wins it 8 - 4 or 9 - 3

    Canelo robs him by a clear UD lmao

    Amazing fight, zero interest in that 3rd GGG fight though

    Oh, come on. Canelo is the actual fighter. You tell me when OAN reports this, then I'll believe it.
