Bivol said he’s the A-side now. What an OG.

    The most significant variables that Bivol needs to control are...

    location ( Canada or Europe).

    Refs (No American, Mexican nor Russian )

    Ring (20 ft)

    And who ever heard of a challenger getting a rematch clause ?

    Ah, but if you have all the marbles...

    I'm laughing because you guys are so envious of Canelo that you're trying to gloat over his loss but you're still envious because he's still Golovkin's papi, and obviously it still hurts you. Lol

    You're not laughing

    I'm not envious

    And I'm not gloating I'm having fun

    Albeit a bit of gloating is more than warranted

    I could turn the heat up way more than this

    Way way more

    I'm real good at this

    But I've actually been very fair and defended your boy

    He's actually GGG's best scalp.

    imho rematch clauses should not exist. Period. No matter the situation. I just hate them.

    Bivol's the daddy now!. He calls the shots and gets the perks.

    I believe in the rematch Canelo still will be the A side. Most of the clauses will still be in his favour. Let's be honest, despite the loss, Bivol needs Clenelo more than Clen needs Bivol
    Losses do not affect the star power a lot. Bivol could retire undefeated and Clen might collect more losses, the Mexican will still be the A side almost against any other fighter

    And you can be sure as the sun will rise...Clenelo ain't going in that ring for any rematch

    Beautiful boxing from Bivol. He was so controlled and disciplined. Made Canelo look basic and conventional, one dimensional. Canelo was looking for a KO from the start. When it became obvious Bivol was too skilled to let it happen, Canelo had no answer. Canelo’s only chance was the corrupt judges but the fight was not close enough for even the scum judges to steal it for Canelo. They definitely tried but Bivol made it impossible for them to steal it for Canelo. Bu, but he hit his bicep doe! If they counted blocked punches, it would have been a close fight.

    After seeing the replay, I doubt Canelo will want a rematch. Bivol is too smart and disciplined to fall into traps. He could fight the same fight again and the outcome would be the same, or he would KO Canelo. He’s too good for Canelo to beat.

    I hope they rematch and fight for Canelo’s belts at 168. Bivol will need to knock him out or beat him 12-0 to get a close decision but I think he can do it. Actually, 12-0 might get Bivol a draw in the next fight. The fans will know who won.

    Yeah, it was and I think Bivol can perform even better than that too. I can't remember what round it was now, maybe the 4th or 5th, but Clen had no answer when Bivol decided to let a burst of combinations go and that gave Bivol the confidence to start doing it a lot more and he won those rounds big when he did so.

    He also outboxed Clenelo on the backfoot in one of those middle rounds when the later was applying pressure. Clen couldn't really get close to him when he did that and if they have a bigger ring next time he'll be able to exploit that and also use his step back and counter more too which he does very well.

    I think Clen should swerve the rematch and fight GGG next. Two defeats at the hands of Bivol will be a huge setback for him. Maybe wait till mid 2023 for that one. If Beterbiev beats Smith and Bivol can likewise beat Beterbiev in the final for all the marbles at 175, regardless of the weight they fight at, the rematch would be between two undisputed champions, one undisputed at 168, the other at 175, providing GGG's grandfather's corpse shot ghost somehow manage to turn back the clock and give Clen the Murata treatment that is.
