    I thought the same about Usyk/Joshua so im not that sure. Perhaps Bivol can be so dominant that he can win it. But i feel like he's going to have to win all 12 rounds clearly and score a knockdown to get a split decision, so again im not that sure. The safe bet is Canelo decision but only because Bivol will probably get robbed.

    If this had fair judges I'd bet on Bivol

    My guess is if Bivol wins Canelo has to admit he's not a LHW and plays out the string with the fights at 168.

    For me it would be most interesting if there's a draw. Then Canelo will still believe in a future in the division. I don't think Bivol would get on the P4P list with a draw but Canelo would be clearly behind Usyk. Not sure I could say Crawford or Inoue would go ahead because he got the draw doing something they've not (staying active and fighting champions at a weight class above where you'd expect them to fight).

    Assuming Clenelo's judges for some inexplicable reason don't rob his opponent for once in their lives and the establishment haven't been pulling strings to ensure Bivol loses even if he manages to pull it off? Well, there's a rematch clause so Bivol will have to fight him again. E-Hearn was spewing some BS about the rematch clause only coming into play if the rematch was commercially viable :facepalm:

    So as I was saying…
    What’s next for Bivol after that dominating win over Canelo?

    Somehow my 100% accurate prediction didn't happen...

    I'd have to consult my books to see if I just had my calculations wrong, or that we're actually all dead now and don't realize it yet.
    You're welcome to join my cult by the way.

    Canelo looked very average against Bivol.
    They are in different leagues. If they would rob Bivol Canelo's career would be over. Even hard-core fans would not defend him this time. Canelo hardly won a round and was not able to make the fight even a little bit competitive.

    Can we finally see the long awaited match between Beterbiev and Bivol? That’s a real 50/50 fight.
