    Bivol at 175, Golovkin at 168 (once he's won his unification fight again) and then winner of Beterbiev vs Smith at 175.

    Canelo is fighting everyone he ever gets accused of ducking.

    The only complaint anyone has had about this fight is they are convinced it is a fixed fight in Canelos favour. In which case that person is surely putting his life savings on a Canelo victory.

    Remains to be seen. Remember Kovalev's rehydration clause wasn't public knowledge until a day or two before the fight.

    But this is a good fight, provided no A side shenanigans.

    I will be looking forward to this night.

    Canelo has some serious confidence, because if Plant gave him some competition, oh boy, Bivol will show him a few dimensions he hasn't seen since he fought Mayweather. If the judges weren't called into serious question i would favor Bivol by a clear decision

    This is no cherrypick, Canelo is in trouble.

    I commend his team for making this fight

    Tbf I think every fight should have a rehydration clause.

    Crawford vs Postol was at 140 pounds. Crawford was 157 and Postol was 152. Makes a mockery of the weight class.

    Imo if someone can't safely fight at the weigh in weigh they shouldn't be in the division in the first place.

    Anyone here who will actually pay for it?

    60 bucks for subs 80 bucks for new subs.

    ridicolous.

    dazn previously said no more PPV! Is this cause for a class action lawsuit?

    C'mon Bivol. Smack Canelo win clean. I've been waiting for a good match up like this for a bit now I haven't been excited in a while for a fight. Not sure about GGG3 though... Seems like by 2 he figured G out and G has been looking mortal since I last saw him, but we'll see I don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

    This is a damn good fight, I give a slight advantage to Canel but only a slight advantage, Bivol can win, he is better than Canelo's previous three opponents...

    This is one of the best fights that has been on PPV in the last few years outside of Fury vs Wilder. If Luis Ortiz, Thurman and Tank are PPV then so is Canelo vs Bivol

    That would be amazing. A third fight with GGG wouldn't be nearly as interesting. Several more exciting options for Canelo.

    Canelo is only having quality fights nowadays. Brilliant to watch.
