    I think we watched two different fights. The one I saw after 4 rounds I had Canelo winning 1 of those rounds.
    Canelo was gassiing and looking unconfortable after round 5-6 and he was blowing pretty hard and was holding his arms above his head inbetween rounds which is a giveaway of fatigue.

    They were all pretty close from what I remember.
    Yes after 5-6 he was gassing and starting to look uncomfortable after 5-6. But then Eddy lit a fire under him after round 8 and he came out like a bat outta hell in round 9 and won that round clearly. But then gassed out again and had little energy left in 10-12. Gotta work on that gas tank in the rematch. Maybe get back on that Carne Asada. Vegan Canelo ain't as good as meat eating Canelo. Gotta get some meat on those bones. But he busted up Bivol's Bicep real good, Canelo very heavy handed at 175, but that gas tank. Maybe it'll help to stay at 175 for more than 1 fight at a time.

    If thats what the judges cards looked like then thats an utter disgrace. 115-113 was NOT anywhere close to how that fight went. Shocking scoring from corrupt officials. Canelo never won the 1st 4 rounds....thats pure fantasy by a Canelo fan boy

    I disagree mate. the issue is the output against Bivol was low Bivol was defending a lot with his high guard. Canelo was trying to land bombs and Bivol countered with clean flurries. I agree about his gas tank but he looked too thick in the body because he wanted that power. the problem is if his punches aren't doing anything then he was always going to gas. Bivol is clearly a tough dude that could take that smoke without breaking down. I've maintained for some time that they're are limits for how far a smaller guy can go. the talk about beating Usyk now looks a little silly. Bivol was picked as an easier option than Beterbiev who had knocked everyone out in the Pro's. The problem is Bivol was too tough and skilled and showed Canelo's physical limits at 175. Like with the GGG fight the fact the judges had it close shows they did what they could for the robbery. Bivol was just more dominent than GGG.

    Bivols team did their homework. They anticipatated the Clenelo plan to hit the shoulders or arms so he would drop his hands. So they iced his arms/shoulders to minimize the damage.
