    Wow Gollaz was actually getting credit for rounds, he was probably two jabs away from derailing Montana Love's career.

    Love was spooked by the knockdown, so he switched tactics and try to play counter puncher instead of leaping in. Problem is Gollaz had the same idea. There was a lot of tension in the fight. If anything there was too much passion :lol:

    Gollaz thought he was ahead on the cards? Man, he should have gone all out for the KO
    in the 12th.

    If Canelo beats Bivol with no controversy, he’s p4p #1 no question

    Apart from the two KD's this fight was pretty poor. Both fighters too cautious and no real commitment from either man. Tedious.

    It's all on the main event for the fireworks!

    And if Bivol beats Canelo, what does that make him?

    I get what you're saying, but I don't really construe a rigid determination to eke out a result as passion, especially if you're boxing under the other guy's promotional banner. At some point somebody (onus on Gollaz) needed to show some desire and try to break the deadlock.

    Love is too inconsistent. I picked him to lose his previous fight for that reason. He's talented but needs work

    Given the dodgy judging in Canelo fights, I'd say it makes Bivol very, very lucky.
