No he didn't lol. There's a reason why he only threw the jab . . . He woulda gotten countered to hell and back if he threw the right hand. He knew he couldn't do that with Canelo in his face all night. He couldn't deal with the Mexican Style.
Pascal went on to beat Marcus Browne and Badou Jack in his next two outings after Bivol pretty much shut him out. Joe Smith went on to beat Eledier Alvarez, Jesse Hart who gave Zurdo two very tough fights, and Maxim Vlasov after Bivol shut him out. Even if you feel Vlasov won as many do it was still very close and Smith hurt Vlasov badly and the ref arguably saved him from a stoppage loss and Vlasov is very good and a terrible style match up for Smith. Smith's two other losses were due to a broken jaw and he was a part-time fighter for the vast majority of his career And Benevidez is a lot bigger than Bivol. Benavidez weighed like 195 or 194 for one of his fights, Bivol weighs like 180-184
Bivol's sparring partner for this fight ''I knew he hit hard but he hit harder than I thought he did. And he has a very good jab and he's fast too'' This content is protected
@Serge That sparring partner kid is just being professional and polite, so that he will be hired for sparring again. Who would hire a sparring partner who would talk negatively on social media about the boxer he sparred? And the kid is only 22 years old.
Bivol is not "very weak." his average fight goes 7.8 rounds. he has a ko rate of 58%. that is not one punch ko power but it is not very weak. he is undefeated with 19 fights and ranked #2 by Ring magazine. has fought 148 rounds. in the amateurs he fought 268 times and only lost 15. Callum Smith praises his abilities and acknowledges his ability to win. Clenbuertol mexican beef Canelo..has not looked too good as of late..imo. he will not have an easy night of it.
