    Any reason we can't do both?

    There was one move where Canelo had Bivol on the ropes and unloaded with a usual 3 piece, only to have Bivol explode like a cobra and hit him 4 times driving him all the way into the center of the ring. Amazing. Canelo was like, we're not in Kansas anymore Toto. Also late in the fight Bivol was right in his chest trading. Not one had the balls to do that before. Bivol has tremendous combination of boxing assets but also courage. Like a true champ he didn't fold, and was playing chess the whole time.

    Scums are fans like you. This fight was not close. Because we scored the fight as it should be scored we are hatters? Outside of Canelo fan boys no one is saying this is close.

    I only gave Canelo rounds 4 and 9 and every other round to Bivol. Complete schooling.

    I expected Bivol to derseve to win against Canelo but thought the judges would rob him (they nearly did, I mean 2 points between them? Really?).

    To think you had Americans like Jake Paul (and other American boxers) saying who is Bivol? Stating that canelo should be fighting the likes of Charlo and Benevidez (who aren't as good as BJS or C.Smith nevermind Bivol).

    Kovalev seems quite happy for Bivol. Posted on his instagram.

    Congrats, Bivol. Apparently durable.

    Bivol had another gear to go into if he needed, he never looked troubled our bothered by Canelo and left him totally frustrated.

    While Floyd's was maybe a more flashier win, and GGG's more action packed, I think this one was the most "dominant".

    Good boxing from Bivol. He was level above Alverez.

    Very happy for him. More so with the people like Klitschkos who wanted him banned for being Russian. Very satisfying for him to beat someone most popular boxer in Americas when people for sake of politicians wanted shame and deny him for his nationality. It's just boxing match and he won. fair & square

    Yes, He Boxed disciplined, let of his shots without getting overly careless/greedy, restrained himself at times in order for him to not fall for any counter punch traps, had great Foot work and combination punching at times resembling Pac-man, showed his power and didn't rely on being cute by pity patting, had great stamina throughout the fight and was fully conditioned,

    Apart from a few punches taken, blocked most of the other punches with his high guard along with covering his body, even when he got caught by an uppercut he didn't panic and displayed a great chin and controlled distance while never being in one spot for too long along with him constantly fainting and moving his head to not turn into a stationary sitting duck.
