    Bivol win was a lot wider, and he fought a better version of Canelo

    Crawford moving up and doing what he did was impressive though.

    Bivol beat Canelo 10-2 despite the ludicrous score cards. Crawford won 7-5 or 8-4 at best.

    Canelo genuinely seemed like he was upset after some point against Bivol.

    Crawford seemed like he had a really good night and Canelo a really bad night when they fought. The outcome for Bivol vs Canelo they both put on their best and would clearly be the same if they fought again.

    Bivol really turned up the heat and Canelo looked all at sea at various points. Bivol ****ing set him on fire

    I think people are blinded by Crawford's great achievement and rewriting history. The fight was competitive and I had it 7-5 Crawford. I think you could score it 9-3 Crawford if you wanted to, but he didn't dominate the fight or ever hurt Canelo. He was slicker and outboxed him.

    Bivol completely dominated Canelo to the point where Canelo was retreating. There was one round Canelo clearly won and you could pity him another 1-2 rounds if you wanted to. I scored it 10-2 Bivol.

    TERENCE CRAWFORD: 'BLUEPRINT WAS ALREADY OUT ON HOW TO BEAT CANELO'

    'He also understood Alvarez, who was outboxed by Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol. Crawford watched and learned.'

    "I knew I was gonna beat him,” Crawford said during a recent interview with "All The Smoke Fight". “When I look at the styles that gave him problems and the styles that he lost to, I have all that and some. The blueprint was already out on how to beat Canelo Alvarez.”

    Bivol and it's not even close. Bivol dominated their fight, Crawford won 7 - 5.

    Crawford gets points for 'moving up in weight' even tho he's massive for all the weights he's previously fought in and he was bigger than Canelo by every metric. Crawford beat an older (but still very good) Canelo but it's not close to what Bivol did.

    Bivol, Though a great accomplishment the version of Canelo that Bud fought looked semi-retired to me

    Bivol and its not close.

    Crawfords win was more of an upset (although not a crazy one), but was also more competitive.

    Nelo looked completely out of his league with Bivol.

    Crawford.

    Canelo time to time bullied Bivol.

    Crawford, on the other hand, outclassed Canelo all night and gave him a good boxing lesson.

    Wow, lots of hate for Crawford here.

    Although everybody knows Crawford beat Canelo much more convincingly than Bivol, people keep denying it. Why?

    I need you to look up “Dmitry Bivol vs Canelo Alvarez” on youtube.

    It seems like you haven’t seen it.

    Giggity!
