Canelo further cements his legacy tonight in a dominating win

He dominated Plant. Was well up before the stoppage only lost a couple rounds and they were close.

Got dominated here by Bivol mind.

 

Not sure why people saw this "bodyshot" destruction

Too busy watching Canelo level off on dudes his own size who don't use their feet.

Bivol might have a very linear offence but he's big, sexy and positions really well constantly. Usyk is the same.

That was an easy night for Bivol, he could have stepped it up but played it safe.

 

Canelo got embarrassed at his own circus show 12-0. I honestly think this was worse than the Floyd schooling. Canelo landed 1 or 2 flashy uppercut against Bivol but I felt like he was more useless here. From the overdone pink ring walk, to the flustered pink Clen face, twas a hilarious night of boxing

 

It was just nice to see some justice for once. Some of the clowns on here are hilarious claiming it was close. and the judges cards were a fair assessment of how the fight went. Completely deluded although I wouldn't be suprised if the robbery gets done on the rematch.

 

To be fair it's the known illogical Canelo rimmers that are claiming it was close - Shadow and one or two idiots.

I had Bivol winning 11 or 12 rounds.. Giving Canelo 3 rounds is being extremely generous, but there's a case for it (albeit a poor one)

 

Reminder - All 3 judges had it 115-113, had Canelo winning the first 4 rounds and round 9. So you scoring all but one of those rounds to Bivol puts you at odds with the judges. If you think it's so crazy to score 5 rounds to Canelo, then feel free to explain how scoring any of those rounds to Canelo is unreasonable. Otherwise, you're merely crying about yet another Canelo decision, claiming that a fight that all the judges agreed was close is somehow a near shutout. We've seen this story before, so it's nothing new nor is it surprising to see more delusional lopsided scoring after another close Canelo decision against a top opponent.

 

Yeah I gave Canelo one round. the punch stats show the clear difference and Bivol was blocking a lot with a high guard. The issue for Canelo as he moved up in weight was most of his opponents were there to be hit and stood in front of him or would get backed into the ropes. Bivol wasn't playing that game and kept mobile firing off his jab and some effective flurries. Canelo just didn't have a plan B and was trying to land bombs from the start that by mid fight he was clearly blowing pretty hard and was done at that point.

 

Even for Canelo's Vegas Judges there was no way to score it for Canelo.
118-110 Bivol is the right score.

 

Shadow by Monday morning^^

Bivol, Canelo and True boxing fans:

 

The punch stats were whack and should have no bearing on how you scored this match.

We're not talking about the story of the fight or who deserved to win. We're talking about the margin of victory. You have given Bivol 4 more rounds than the judges did, and 3 more rounds than Rumsfeld did. So we need to understand how there is such a vast disparity, to have such a lopsided score in a fight so close on the cards and in some fan cards. And Rumsfeld isn't a Canelo fanboy, so him scoring that 116-112 should make you pause and realize there's a problem here and a vast difference between how close it was.

 

I'm not saying there was a way to score it for Canelo. I'm not arguing Canelo won. I agree Bivol won. But there's quite a difference between 115-113, 116-112, 118-110, 119-109 and even some saying Bivol won every round. So we have scores that are all over the place and the usual suspects acting like this was a domination and easy to score when in fact it was much closer and many rounds, particularly the first 4-5 were close and debatable.

 

You should just stop, the fight wasn't close at all. Your boy got absolutely schooled.

 

@lufcrazy See what I mean. I'm being told that the fight wasn't close at all. Yet Canelo just so happened to be ahead by 1 point after 9 rounds, which is pretty much as close as a fight could possibly be heading into the final rounds. "Who cares". Why are so many Canelo detractors so insecure about the fight being so close? Why does anyone feel the need to pretend that Canelo got schooled or dominated when that simply wasn't the case?
