    Apparently the judges gave Canelo rounds 1-4 and Round 9. Round 9 was a big Canelo round. From memory I know I gave Canelo round 1 and rounds 2-5 were each very close, then Bivol had a good Round 6.

    All Canelo had to do was win either round 10, 11 or 12 and he would have got a draw. If he would have won 2 of the last 3 he would have won but he lost them all. So Canelo was actually winning the fight after 9 rounds.

    Yeah that's called corruption.

    Well we have to go through the first 4 rounds to find out which of those rounds Bivol clearly won. I don't remember any of those rounds being dominant Bivol rounds. Canelo was doing pretty well early on. It wasn't until the 2nd half of the fight that Bivol started landing clean. I also recall round 5 being very close as well.

    Because you actually need a boxing knowledge to understand thing, you know?
    Bivol ain't a static target, that's why Canelo can't attack the body, it's that easy to get it, but you need 2 unbiased eyes, you know ?

    f'n crazy. In fact a simple canelo knock down of bivol in the 12th would've won him the fight:duh

    5-4 Canelo for what exactly? People like you should be held accountable for nonsenses like that.
    Explain to us, how exactly Canelo won 5 rounds ?
    Based on what? Eating punches to the face? His face looks like Pizza?
    I'm listening!

    He did well in the first 5 rounds. Landed the flashier cleaner shots from what I recall. Then Bivol made some adjustments and won rounds 5-8. Then Canelo's corner lit a fire under him after round 8 and Canelo came out like a bat outta hell in the 9th and had his best round of the fight. But then he had nothing left after that big 9th round and he let Bivol win the last 3 which Bivol needed to win the fight.

    Canelo definitely won round 9, but from memory, Round 10 I thought was a Bivol round. Will have to rewatch.

    I feel like he barely got out of second gear. At one point he stood in front of Canelo hands up with body exposed.. And Canelo was too hesitant to even throw punches lmao. Truly and utterly schooled

    Bivol was losing after 9 rounds. What a miraculous final 3 rounds by Bivol to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. :naughty2:

    Well I will, we can't be having any false narratives going around about any corrupt judging now can we. The right man won Serge, but boy was it close. Bivy only just eeked it out with a miraculous final 3 rounds.
