    If a "russian robot" schooled Alvarez, I guess Saul is a mexican wooden doll.

    Canelo has no chance of stopping Bivol.

    Not a chance. Bivol is a horrible style matchup for Canelo and the Ryder fight just confirms that Canelo is starting to slow down. Canelo is amazing against certain kinds of fighters but Bivol is a distillation of all the things that give Canelo trouble.

    Seriously? He has absolutely no chance vs Bivol. He might get KO'd.

    Think Alvarez hasn't looked as good after moving up and coming back down in weight a second time.

    He couldn't KO Ryder who he was able to hit repeatedly any time he wanted to. The clown doesn't have the aggressiveness to finish the fight when he's much better than his opponent. great fighter my balls, Bivol will school him again

    He won 3 or 4 rounds. Heck, the judges even managed to find him 5.
    The biggest issue is stamina. If he can keep his composure then he might be able to win some of the later rounds.
    I can´t remember the round, but before the championship rounds, Canelo turned it up a notch and boxed beautifully. He then completely ran out of steam and was in survival mode for the rest of the night.
    There are avenues off success for Canelo, if he is capable of capitalizing on them.

    And no way does Bivol KO him.

    Eh, found the round.
    Round 9:
    Canelo opens up with a nice jab and lands some body punches. He also doesn´t load up on every shot, something he rarely does. He definitely needs to do more of that to keep Bivol´s jab at home and to create counter punching opportunities for himself. Waiting for Bivol to finish his flurries is what cost Canelo the most that night. And loading up on everything depletes his stamina.
    All in all, it was a very good for Canelo as he heavily relied on his jab and threw lighter punches. And when Bivol finally did back him up to the ropes, Canelo was quick to move off of them. Canelo should take a page out of Bivol´s book when it comes to pivoting off of the ropes.
    And lastly: crossing his feet. Canelo likes to cross his feet when moving backwards, he mainly does it when he is looking to take a break and reset. Bivol often capitalized on that and Canelo being out of position to either defend or counter.

    A few minor adjustments and a couple of more rounds like the 9th, and Canelo can take a legitimate decision.
