Canelo Bivol rounds 1-4 - "close fight" comprehensively debunked debunked

Can't generalize. Gotta go through it round by round. I've exposed the idea that Round 1 was won by Bivol.

 

I didn't. I'm not emotionally invested in outcomes or margins like some people.

 

You haven’t haha. Bivol outlanded him at least 2 to 1

 

I scored it just fine, and in line with the vast majority of pundits. You're the one having emotional issues....

 

This is pointless. You’re trying to salvage a close fight from an 11-1 schooling. God speed mate

 

Punches thrown ≠ punches landed. Bivol was busier but most of his shots were blocked.

 

You have a vast amount of butthurt as it pertains to Canelo and how his fights are scored.

 

My word Shadow. your still trying to shape the narrative that it was close when it was not remotely.
11-1 Bivol. I mean we can spin in circles forever. Ginger lost despite the best efforts of the judges clear corruption.
As I said Shadow only 1 round can be reasonably given out of the first 4. I''ve said this several times go through the RBR. see what the consensus opinion is. You won't because you ignore the bleeding obvious.....and it doesn't suit your clear fantasy...

 

Neither jab landed, the hook landed on the shoulder. The last arm punch had less on it than a range finder jab from Malignaggi. No way you actually think there is anything in there for Canelo.

 

The first round definitely goes to Bivol. He has more punches thrown (including two multiple punch combinations), more activity, more clean hits (I don't think Canelo had any).

From all rounds, the only one that goes to Canelo only Round 9. The fourth round is tight. Other than that, Bivol dominated the rest. Canelo truly had hard time to get inside as he got stopped by Bivol's jabs the whole time. Bivol really made good job with his jabs, making good use of his range.

One thing that I think Bivol excels is he has sturdy defense. Canelo punches hard, but Bivol can take it and didn't budge. This is what differentiate the performance of GGG and him.

 

Canelo won Round 1, if you want to make an argument that Bivol won that round, it's a tough sell. Bivol spent a lot of time retreating, got roughed up along the ropes and had most of his shots blocked. Canelo was the boss and was ring general that round. I know you like to generalize to argue that it wasn't close overall, but it has to be looked at RBR not just "generally".

 

Punches thrown or activity doesn't win rounds.

Wrong, Canelo landed plenty clean that round, both were blocking well but Bivol had less clean shots and had a lot more punches blocked. Bivol had his back on the ropes several times covering up. Not a good look for Bivol, a definite Canelo round.

Canelo penetrated that sturdy defense in Round 1. Bivol "not budging" is immaterial to getting hit and hit well.

 

It reiminded me of AJ v Usyk in some respects of I thought they away fighter would win but that the judges would rob them.
The difference is Bivol completely shut Ginger out and I only gave Canelo 1 round. AJ won a 2-3 rounds mid fight.
Usyk and Bivol both executed excellent gameplans although I fear one or both may get robbed on the rematch. I think Usyk has the better chance of stopping AJ than Bivol stopping Ginger. They are both faster though and AJ and Canelo looked clueless and confused as hand speed i and skill s a diffucult attribute to nullify.

 

Then you must have different defintion of 'clean hit'.

Or simply you have problem for being objective and impartial.
