Canelo vs Bivol, Joe Smith or Beterbiev IF they were the same size? oh wait never mind. . . they’re actually scheduled to fight & being targeted respectively by team Canelo regardless of their size discrepancies. Team Canelo Will Explore Beterbiev-Smith Winner if Golovkin Loses or Suffers Injury https://espndeportes.espn.com/boxeo...eam-cima-boxeo-eddy-reynoso-proximo-bivol-ggg honsetly he will have a hard enough time with Bivol, I doubt GGG will back out. Betterbiev or even Joe smith could & should absolutely pummel Canelo if he were foolish enough to take them on as a 3rd fight this year. still hats off to the ginger hulk. That’s just the kind of moxie & mixup this sport needs!
I'm expecting Bivol to get robbed on the scorecard and alleviated of his title. There will be no rematch clause in the contract either.
That is a likely scenario. He still fighting a bigger man with excellent boxing skills, it will definitely take a toll on him.
