    Two things:

    1.) The super-middleweight division ruined Canelo. He feasted on bums where he didn't need any of the high-end talent he displayed vs GGG. Now he had to remember how to swim when he hasn't in literally years and it showed.

    2,) I never, ever, EVER want to hear from anyone ever again that GGG didn't beat Canelo, ever again. EVER AGAIN. Are you joking me? This is the second near shut-out loss of Canelo's career that got scored like it was (almost) 50/50.

    I can't believe you thought Alvarez would stand a chance to be honest.

    Bivol didn't feel the power at all. Bivol looked great. The size was a factor but he was also faster!

    Good job Bivol. Kept his composure and stuck to what was working.

    Good on Canelo for going up in weight and facing undefeated champions.

    Is that fight really still on? I guess it will be an okay comeback victory for Canelo to build his confidence.

    He was landing far far far more frequently and cleanly

    Bivol whooped him so bad he doesn’t even want to speak English anymore.

    As if clowning and spanking Canelo for 12 round's straight was not enough...

    Bivol decides to spank that ginger's ass some more in the post-fight interview.

    A true modern family Canelo belongs to because he has TWO daddy's.

    GGG and Bivol

    Credit to Clen for admitting he lost. He didn't really have a choice to be fair because it was so conclusive

    Cards were terrible, but result is the most important thing
