Canelo vs Bivol - Boxer vs Puncher

Dude, no one will take you seriously if you say things like ‘Canelo is not a skilled boxer’.
Bivol does have a good jab but it will go missing after a couple of rounds as it will keep getting slipped. Bivol has that nice left hook to the body then to the head combo, but he doesn’t have the power to cause Canelo any problems. Bivol will get hurt and will be backpedaling. The only question is does he get knocked out or lose on points. This isn’t a close fight, Golovkin 3 is still the tougher fight. Beterbiev is the problem at light heavy, Bivol is Plant level (good but not elite). Bivol has elite mental focus and poker face, so unless that factors into it in some way I don’t see, then he’s heading for an L.

 

You’ve never heard of fighters going up in weight and start getting knockouts because they’re not draining themselves anymore? Don’t talk that fixed fights nonsense, you’re embarrassing yourself.

 

canelo can fight with anyone and not get straight whooped. Bivol ain’t got the power to KO him. At least not if canelo keeps his upper body moving and doesn’t let him zero in. Hate to sound so cliche but I see a close fight, on the boring side, with Alvarez getting a decision. Whether he deserves it or not.

 

I know what your saying Mark but canelos strategy is different depending on the opponents strengths n weaknesses.
Imo bivol hasn't enough power at elite level to stop someone like canelo landing big shots at some point

 

Cmon mark let’s stick to apples here.
