    Respect to Canelo if he actually takes this fight and doesn’t insist on a secret strength draining max hydration clause or stall until the last minute and rush Bivol into a fight without ample time to prepare. If there is no drama or shadowy tactics this will be a great fight. A legacy defining fight if Canelo wins.

    If it's in Vegas the handpicked judges will not dare to score against Canelo. What if he takes his business elsewhere? They need that cash keep comin, ride the gravy train while it lasts

    I don't think Bivol has it in him to keep Canelo from marching down and ripping him on the inside, and if he can't prevent that I can't see him winning a decision (it's been years since his last KO). That said, if/when Canelo beats him that will be his best win since Daniel Jacobs three years ago. Super middleweight vacation is over.

    I have Bivol winning. This is assuming no BS weight clause.

    Canelo's handpicked judges might not let him lose though.

    Bivol beats the **** out of Canelo on fair grounds. Canelo doesn't ever fight fair, and most of his fights post GGG 2 have been fixed. Its all smoke and mirrors with Canelo. He's a fraud and needs to have real fights before anyone can judge him as good

    The only way to get around Canelo's clauses and antics is to be in shape all year around.

    That way you can overcome the rehydration clauses, short camps and overall lack of preparation time.

    If a Canelo fight is thrust on you with less than 8-10 weeks of prep time then you'll always lose.

    I've never been been sold on Bivol and think Canelo will earn a comfortable UD or TKO over him.

    Canelo won't get any credit, even if he knocks Bivol out in the first round.

    I have Bivol by clear decision in this, his judgement of distance and timing is better than anyone Canelo has faced for a long time and has enough pop to keep Alvarez honest, and most important make him work and disrupt his rythym.

    That said, whether Bivol actually gets given a decision is another thing entirely...

    Bivol will use Canelo as a punching bag in first 6 rounds, but it won't affect Canelo, since Bivol is feather fisted.

    Then Bivol will get tired and slow down as usual after round 6 and Canelo will knock him out easily in round 10 or 11.
