Dmitrii Yuriyevich Bivol vs. Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán & Zhìlěi Zhāng vs. Scott Alexander RBR

Bivol could have stopped Canelo if he wanted to. He played it very safe. Never hurt, always in control. I gave Canelo 2 rounds and it’s obvious the fix was in. All 3 judges gave Canelo the first 4 rounds…absurd.

 

The man laid his balls out there and dared to be great, he lost, like WTF do people want from these dudes? Would you prefer he do what GGG did and just be comfortable beating cans and never challenge himself and take the risk?

 

Standing and delivering more in 11 and 12 pulled it out for him with the official judges, confirmed;

The best thing about this is I hope there’s no 3rd fight between Canelo and GGG. Golovkin should retire. He has slipped quite a bit. I don’t want to see him beaten up and stopped.—-Mark

 

Round 2 , was close. I scored it for Bivol

Rd 6 was not close. Bivol wide.

Even all three of the dodgy judges scored 6 for Bivol.

 

canelo could easily beat the wbc and wba cruiserweight champs tbh they arnt on bivols level.. briedis would be tough though.

 

Oh, cans. Do you mean like the super-middleweight division?

 

I haven’t seen the cards, but the first 4 rounds could be scored for Canelo, there was nothing “clear as day” about the first third of that fight.

 

For what it's worth (not much) I called the first, sixth and ninth to Canelo. But, in an environment where even rounds weren't discouraged, I'd probably call at least one of those Caenlo rounds even.

 

Maybe because Bivol won I find it more amusing than infuriating but holy crap those judges. If Bivol had taken even one round off to collect himself for a big push down the stretch, they would have robbed him. There's protecting the A-side and then there's being shameless.

 

2nd was Bivol clear as an azure sky of deepest summer.

 

Nah I mean he’s had basically 4 real fights in his career…give or take. Canelox2, Jacobs, and Deverachenko, other than that I’m trying to think of who he’s beat/fought? He wanted no part of Ward at 168!that’s pretty well documented, so what would be an example of him taking a risk or fighting anybody that was a real threat outside of that, maybe I’m forgetting someone.

 

I could only give Canelo rounds 3 and 9. Was far closer on the scorecards than it should have been.

 

Canelo beats the **** out of him would be my guess.

 

Have the official cards been posted yet?
