Canelo vs Bivol prediction thread !!!

Canelo on points in a pretty dull fight.

 

I agree with this. Bivol hasn't knocked anyone out since 2018, slim shot of him knocking out Canelo. He is definitely not winning on points unless he dominates.

 

Canelo by close UD everyone calls a robbery because "I think Bivol did more"

 

The problems for Bivol are two:
1) when Canelo hits he hurts... with all the shots of his arsenal. His combos are often devastating (see with Kovalev hook to the temple, straight to the chin and goodnight )
2) Canelo has a granite chin and a great heart like Ruiz, or Usyk. The guy will hardly go down neither this time imo.

The only chance Bivol has to win is by decision fighting his best fight ever technically talking and surviving Canelos blows.

 

I think that Bivol at his best can squeeze past Canelo.

I give props to Canelo for even taking this fight without the usual deck stacking, and Bivol is a legit threat.

Bivol on points, but if Canelo manages to slow him down by going to the body it could be the other way around.

I don't think there will be any KOs.

 

It's a chance for Bivol to make a statement. Everything will be against him and needs a convincing win.
I hope he takes the chance and doesn't pull a "Kovalev" and folds for money.

 

Those who dislike Canelo insist that Bivol is very skilled, very tough, that Bivol will school Canelo, that Bivol is better than Canelo etc...

But one thing they don't realize is: Bivol is not really that good. When they hype Bivol so much, they are making Canelo a bigger boxer because Canelo will definitely knock him out. Then, people will start saying: "See, Canelo knocked out best light heavyweight champion Bivol" etc etc.

People should see that Bivol is not that good, that's why Canelo challenged him.

 

This might also end like the Krusher fight by late TKO

 

And you're doing the exact opposite. Downgrading Bivol just to diminish a possible Canelo victory.

Bivol is the best(or second best at worst) Light heavyweight. Bivol is better and stronger than all of Canelo's opponents since GGG.

Bivol has plenty in his arsenal to frustrate Canelo all night and a good chance at winning this fight.

 

I don't agree with you. I think Jacobs, Kovalev, BJS and Plant are all better than Bivol. Tomorrow you will see it yourself, Canelo will beat (by KO) Bivol easier than those 4 names I mentioned.

 

The cards are already made out for Ginger to get decision Lets hope Bivo0l finds his power & makes a nut outta Ginger

 

When Canelo fought Kovalev, Bivol was rated higher at 175 and would more than likely have been the odds-on favorite over any of those guys. I doubt you would have picked differently.

 

@ElCyclon Have you seen Bivol vs Richards? DAZN uploaded the full fight today. Please watch it and then tell me again that Bivol has a good chance of beating Canelo, but this time sincerely.

A lot of people are being VERY dismissive of Bivol. Watch the Smith fight.

But Richards is long and tall. Yet Bivol was able to overcome that. I think you may be underestimating Bivol.

 

I've seen the fight, a convincing win by Bivol. You might want to argue that Bivol "struggled" but that happens to every fighter once in a while and the reasons vary, at no point was BIvol in danger of losing that fight.

This fight changes nothing, sincerely.
