Canelo's rematch victory chances

Zero chance for me tbh

 

He turned up to this one, fought pretty well all things considered against arguably the best LHW Champ and lost. According to you and many others what happened tonight was impossible.

 

It wasn't clear who would win after the first 4-5 rounds. Canelo will be very motivated to go back to the drawing board and come back with a better effort and performance in September. After being in there with Bivol, he knows what he did wrong, can make corrections and adjustments for a rematch. But it won't be easy, Bivol is very tough to beat, especially for a guy moving up in weight to fight him. Still despite taking the L, gotta give Canelo credit for taking on such a tough challenge and putting up a good fight.

 

Canelo was gassed like hell, because of this vegan diet nonsense. What a silly thing to do before the fight

 

Canelo's best course is to rematch GGG

If Bivol humiliates him again then the Canelo brand and product is seriously damaged. He wont be able to get those $30m paydays anymore either.

Bivol needs to face the Beterbiev-Smith winner this year and Canelo can choose Bivol or the winner of that fight

Bivol has options

Canelo has brand damaging options if he chooses wrong.

We're not talking about Conor Mcgregor's brain dead, drunk hillbilly fans here. With Canelo we are talking about pure image, brand and a monetised fanbase built totally on nationality and patriotism.

The biggest thing was he got frustrated and mentally he went back to the guy that created his own weight class and ran it kind of close with Austin Trout.

The one he was for years before he went into the phone booth after GGG 1 and turned into SuperCan.

 

I saw a 12 round clinic. Canelo would throw a heavy combination that only hit Bivol's gloves, and the commentary was "good shots by Canelo". Somehow the scorecards were 115-113.

Canelo could win if they paid the judges more money, but he could never beat Bivol in a fair fight.

 

Both were hitting mostly gloves in the early rounds, but Canelo did get some shots threw like that big uppercut. It was very even and back and forth over the early stages. It wasn't until the mid and late rounds that Bivol started tagging Canelo with clean shots, which shifted the momentum. I saw a close fight that was made to look more one-sided than it was with awful biased commentary (except for Mora) and ridiculusly one-sided punch stats. But Bivol clearly won, so the judges got it right. But it wasn't a 12 round clinic. I saw a close fight that Bivol pulled away in the 2nd half because Canelo gassed due largely to carrying excess weight and not having the same gas tank or speed at 175 than he does at 168. But take nothing away from Bivol. He fought a great fight and got the job done.
