He took money for what he thought would be another easy fight. I knew it wasn't going to be an easy fight but he thought it would be. He was a wide betting favorite, expected to KO Bivol Daring to be great is biting down when you're behind and going all out. Once he saw Bivol wasn't going to wither he packed it in and cruised hoping the judges would help him to another undeserved decision win. And they almost did Stop the daring to be great BS because he wasn't willing to leave it all in the ring to try and win. That's what happens when the guy is beating you from pillar to post and you have another $40 mil fight already lined up. You make business decisions to save yourself for your next fight
You don't stand on the ropes when you've been hurt and busted up and say come on and invite him in. You walk him down and put the pain on your opponent.
Clenelo didn't not try. Bivol undressed him and made sweet love to him on Cinco de Mayo in front of 17,000 screaming Mexicans. Clenelo was comprehensively owned in the fight.
He picked the extremely high risk, low reward #1 fighter at the division directly above his. He lost. If that ain't daring to be great I dunno what is
