    Would it be any different ? It would be funny if Bivol took all of Canelos belts at 168 too

    Bivol should NOT rematch Canelo

    The Judges had it 115-113 and they're hungry for more corruption. When the first bell rings Alveroids will already be 6 rounds ahead. He just needs to win 1 round to get the decision.

    It's all according to Eddie Hearns design. He planned for a rematch to generate even more money and he knows the fix is in

    It would be a bit close, which means the judges will give it to Canelo.

    It’ll be harder for Bivol at 168 but the fight was so clear in his favour and he made such easy work of it that you’d have to make him favourite at 168 too, barring any corruption

    Are you scared of what would happen to Bivol in a rematch? Is Bivol a wounded animal now with a busted up Bicep?

    Well he was losing after 9 rounds, so it wasn't easy work to be down heading into the final 3 rounds. He took some damage to that arm too, never been busted up like that before.

    :risas3: no dumbass if a rematch happened the judges would make sure not to let that one slip out their hands and they would rob the sh*t out of Bivol.

    The fact that you agreed with the judges 115-113 cards means you've lost any and all credibility, if you even had any to begin with. It's time to log off shadow. Your boy got 12-0'd

    It's just funny because literally what you thought couldn't happen just happend and now you're like "but it'll never happen again". To you a 115-113 that Bivol was LOSING after 9 rounds is 12-0. That's utterly absurd but no surprise given the Canelo perception problems. I totally expected this so it's no surprise.

    Just enjoy the moment for what it is. Bivol won, he earned it. We both agree he won. We don't need to nitpick on how many rounds we think Canelo won. It doesn't matter. The right man won and if he did it once, and if it wasn't a fluke, then he should have no problem doing it again.

    Why would the fight be any different? They would both be exactly the same size they were today. I doubt either man had a big weight cut.

    115-113 is an atrocious scorecard.

    Bivol boxed the gas out of Canelo. Canelos gas tank was depleated to strangulation levels because Bivol was mentally owning him in that ring and whooping that ass 0 difficulty. This was not a competitive fight, yet Canelos judges pretended it was a 7-5 type decision (lol). They will absolutely rob him next time around.

    I'm picked Bivol to win it. And without Canelos corrupt judges, I'd pick him to win again

    LOL "strangulation levels" "mentally owning him" sure sure. But hey, you know what, you make that argument. He has bragging rights now.

    But it was competitive early on, Canelo landed some great shots on him, he had his moments. That beautiful uppercut, he roughed Bivol up backed him on the ropes several times, landed some clean right hands over the top. There was a lot of back and forth, but in the end Bivol got the better of him and absolutely won that fight. And I'm not even saying 7-5 was correct. Like I said I was at a watch party and didn't really score it closely. It didn't seem like a blowout or anything really one-sided, but Bivol definitely did win and I gave him all the credit. And by the way, I favored Bivol to win this too, so we have that in common. I knew how dangerous of a fight this was for Canelo, especially at 175 and I was not surprised that Bivol won.

    There's the answer shadow. You didn't score it closely, you never do. Canelo/Bivol was a one sided schooling and you should not agree with the judges scorecards under any circumstances.

    115-113 is very suspect and scoring the fight a draw or to Canelo equals jail time. Dont worry, there's a Canelo fan somewhere out there who did

    Losing after 9 rounds? You watching with those same bias eyes as the judges? He was winning throughout the whole fight & As Bivol, said… He beat up his arm not his head :risas3:

    I didn't claim that I personally thought that Bivol was losing after 9 rounds. I'm pointing out that's what the score was. While watching it live, I thought Canelo was letting it slip away in rounds 6-8, but then Canelo had a big round 9 and after that thought it would be determined by what happened in the final 3 rounds. Bivol won each of those last 3 rounds and with those rounds won the fight.

    Yes he beat up his arm not his head, though he did get some heavy powers shots in to the head, but Bivol had very good defense and is very hard to hit clean, so those head shots did not happen enough for Canelo to win. But even more than that, it was Bivol's shots on Canelo some of which were with Canelo along the ropes that won him the fight. Canelo is normally a ropes master but he didn't have the energy to do his normal ropes stuff and Bivol was better at landing with Canelo on the ropes than any other Canelo opponent. Canelo landed enough power shots to win if he would have had better defense, but Canelo's normally stout defense and upper body movement wasn't there late in the fight, and that was largely because of the excess weight he was carrying at 175.
