Bet-wise, is Bivol a good choice ?

I bet a small amount on Bivol.

 

Canelo absolutely knocks Bivol out.

Don't believe the hype, Bivol is not that good. Just watch the last 4 rounds him against Richards, you will see what I mean.

 

You are not winning on the card if you try and box him. Have to hurt Canelo in multiple rnds or stop him

 

50/50 fight...so the odds are really good i think

 

Betting is for re tards

 

bet wise? taking Bivol to win COULD be a good choice...also
taking Canelo to win COULD be a good choice..hell..
taking both to win at the same time COULD be a good choice

not going into more details because 2 ppl already dropped enough knowledge in this thread.

 

This is a fight to drop a pinch of moolah on the draw, for sure.

 

I disagree with Fritz.

Even money and less than even money (within reason) is good. For me, 4/6 on Fury to T/KO Whyte last weekend was as good as between 3/1 and 4/1 on Lemos to T/KO Selby a few weekends prior. It's about whether you believe in the outcome, and then it comes down to how good your analysis was (barring a freak situation a la Flanagan-Zepeda or something). You can't be sure about every matchup, it's just not possible — wherever you're unsure, you leave it be.

I wouldn't touch Bivol here. And if he somehow overcomes what he's up against (not just Canelo, but the politics), I won't regret it.

 

Too much higher math there, son. It's a 33/33/33 fight. Bivol either wins or he loses or it's a draw.

 

Unless

Unless Canelo gets knocked out, he cant get worse than a draw. History proves this. With fair judging , I think Bivol has a great chance to win. He may beat Canelo decisively.

 

Agree with this - Bivol would have to beat Canelo at least as clearly as Usyk beat Joshua, and even then I'm not convinced he gets the nod.

I don't think Bivol has signed up to thise fight just to lose and take the money, so I'm really interested to see what his gameplan is, as he needs a REALLY dominant showing, where he clearly hurts Canelo multiple times, ideally with knockdowns - it's the only way they can't stiff him on the cards IMO. If the fight is comepetitive and goes the difference, the decision is going ginge's way for sure.

So unless you really go for the Bivol KO crazy odds (not even sure what they are), I'd not say it's not a good choice.

But then to be fair, I didn't think Usyk would get a decision in the UK either...

 

I think betting on this fight going over 9.5 rounds is pretty solid, picking Bivol to win a decision? that's more like 25 to 1 for me. I think Bivol would have to dominate to get a draw as others have already pointed out at least one card is already filled out, 118-110 Canelo.

 

Canelo doesn't need judges to beat Bivol by decision. Canelo is a complete boxer, he has everything that a real champion should have, great defense, iron chin, great movement, has that killer instinct, he knows how to attack to body, he is patient and smart, experienced, powerful, durable.

Bivol, on the other hand doesn't know how to box, he does good straight combinations, in and outs, timing and that's all.

If Canelo doesn't knock out Bivol somehow, he will win by unanimous decision wide. I don't think he will lose a single round to Bivol.

 

Do we know yet who the judges and referee are for this fight?

 

Probably something like Weisfeld, Cheatham and Moretti as judges and I believe I read somewhere that Mora (of all people) would be the ref.
