    He might of said it but no way he believed it. His body language was that of a man that knew he was soundly beaten.

    I think he always believes he is winning, that’s why he is always pushing himself. In his last few fights we could see him getting comfortable losing rounds with the belief that his power was getting to the opponent, and he was right. This time he was wrong. I hope that belief never leaves him and he keeps his drive to be great.

    Nothing wrong with a vegan diet if done correctly. But I do agree trying to move up in weight whilst on a vegan diet certainly isn't easy

    Well he has a better argument than he won this than Pac had against Mayweather. And Pac said he thought he won that fight. Broner also thought he beat Pacquiao lol.

    They all have the same argument. An indefensible one. They lost. There is no path to victory for either of them.

    Margin of victory was different. This was much closer than those.

    Neither have a valid argument to claim they won the fight.

    As for margin if victory I had it 11-1 Bivol.

    I have Canelo the 9th.

    ''I do feel I won the fight.

    I think perhaps maybe I lost 4 or 5 rounds

    But I definitely didn't lose the fight''

    Pacquiao rocked Mayweather and won about 4 rounds. Canelo didn't do that here.

    Exactly. I imagine all elite boxers have what would appear to the normal person an unreasonable level of self confidence. then take into account he will be surrounded by yes men and he's been the face of the sport and cash cow for years. It's no different than the richest men in the world who never hear no for an answer. It just creates that false reality of beleiving your own hype. The difference that seperates the more mature individuals is getting over that hump. Look at someone like Wilder who after getting beaten leaned into the excuse making hard. ithat just demonstrated low self awareness and IQ. so he could never adapt or overcome his failings as he was externalising the failure onto nonsense excuses. I think boxing needs upsets to stay reasonably healthy. I was hoping Bivol would win but like AJ v Usyk I was having issue with the judges being fair. Although they can still screw both over in the rematch so there is that to look forward to.
