    Bivol was great defensively tonight, that was the real difference IMO.

    It was the same as the Smith fight, but the heavy punches to the arm discouraged Smith - while Bivol just waited for Canelo to stop throwing to get his own punches in.

    Honestly I think he should avoid the rematch and move on and fight a guy like Charlo or andrade who I think he'd Crush

    I thought I'd enjoy a Canelo loss more than this. It was all very routine. I don't even think Bivol was in top gear. This has to be a bit of a reality check for Canelo.

    This is too much though Pimp.

    You seriously think that Canelo hasn't improved in 9 years of professional fighting?

    He didn't improve because he lost in a weight class he shouldn't be at against a potentially elite fighter in his prime with a styles advantage to top it off?

    Idk... the notion that a disciplined fighter like Canelo hasn't improved since he's been 23 years old, after 9 years of professional training camps and 143 more rounds as a professional fighter.... all because he lost to potentially the best light heavyweight on the planet... idk man, not sure that's a realistic take.

    The intelligence to attack as soon as Canelo finished his punches, Bivol had the discipline to repeatedly take advantage of that. High ring IQ

    Tbh, I was worried the fix would be in for Canelo (like it was for Kovalev). And it almost was -- how the hell do the judges score 115-113? Nobody else saw 115-113; it was 10-2 at best for Canelo.

    And people still think that he beat Kovalev without a fix.

    Don't you think it was an enjoyable, entertaining fight? If so, why wouldn't you want to see it again.
