    I just wish Bivol would have KO'd him. But he wasn't willing to take the risk since he was outboxing him. Criminal scores by these judges.

    I’d prefer to see Canelo against any top 10 light heavy rather than Golovkin again. That is one of the least interesting fights in boxing, I can’t imagine anyone getting excited about that after seeing how Golovkin looked in Japan.

    A prime Kovalev knocks him out easy.

    What? You hadn't heard? All the Boxing orgs change the rules for Canelo. Arm punches count and are worth double points.:sisi1

    Beterbiev knocked out dorticos in the amateurs. And he has a high output. Very tough for anyone especially the smaller man

    It'll be interesting to see the exact scoring of the three judges.

    canelo also got plenty of body shots in with plenty of leverage into bivols side. bivol just walked them off.

    Can you believe that ****? When did people start scoring blocked punches? Only for Canelo... only for Canelo.

    I posted this boxrec stat breakdown of fighters in a Is Canelo p4p#1 thread six months ago.

    As you can see, Bivol's stats are higher than Canelo's. I took a bit of **** for this. Right below my comment was this.

    He also caught him pretty clean with a very leveraged uppercut which had no effect whatsoever in about the 2nd or 3rd round.

    I want to see Canelo vs Benavidez next. Bivol can have some good fights until then. Maybe even Zurdo.
