    as I said, mediocre opostion and an overrated AF pascal when he was older than earth. Still, 57% KO rate. If bivol cannot keep canelo honest while moving (and that's not easy, as you can guess by watching his KO %), canelo will eat him alive. Bivol has power, and imho he prioritizes mobility, but if he cant put real powder in his punches he's as good as done.

    And no, a 57% KO fighter in LHW is not a heavy hitter. The question is if this KO % is because he cant, or because he doesnt care.

    They're made for one another, two cringey douche nozzles, with no self awareness who DKSAB.

    Only fight by Alexander I've seen was vs Kauffman and he looked very sloppy, Zhang should win this early

    You got it. DAZN could have picked some more knowledgeable dudes to present.

    Didn't comment but I have seen the undercard. Was neat, started with a 19-year-old prospect taking on a difficult fight in which he could easily had loosed though he seems too small for the light welterweight.

    Was disappointed to see Espino lose considering he did show a lot of improvement compared to his last fight, losing to a random boxer.

    Velasquez can be at the top 5 in the flyweight division or even perhaps a champion though I could be wrong. He is too small to be in super flyweight however.

    Actually, it's not on DAZN, it's on DAZN PPV.

    He's fought good opposition for someone of the amount of fights he's had, is more a natural SMW, and despite having less/a lot less fights than many of the top and world class fighters he shares common opponents with, he's performed better than them against said common opponents almost everytime.

    Pascal stopped Marcus Browne and beat Badou Jack after Bivol schooled him and Smith KO'd Alvarez and is the current champ.

    I've not said Bivol can stop Clenelo once. It's possible but highly unlikely.

    first 3 rounds he can send his oponent's head to the last row of the arena if his oponent lets him connect clean enough. Izi pizi.
