    Canelo should stay out of LHW, it's clear that he doesnt belong there. And specially he shouldnt fight bivol, unless he wants to get a hell of a beating. Canelo is clearly fading, way past his prime in terms of physical conditions and motivation.

    Canelo MUST rematch Bivol.

    Canelo scorecards are already pre-filled.

    John Ryder won at least 3 rounds but the scorecards made it seem as though it was a complete Canelo whitewash. Not suprised really though, the guy is a mega star and all promoters and belt organisations want to protect him.

    Props indeed but strange decision IMO. A Benavidez clash would be a much bigger AND much more winnable fight for Canelo.

    But let's forget the scores in the Bivol fight. Perhaps Canelo is deluded in thinking he only needs to do slightly better to get the nod this time.

    He is also insisting rematch is at 175 pounds as well so you have to respect that.

    Canelo has made no adjustments from his loss to Bivol. He's gonna walk in with the same style and get obliterated again

    Sadly, because of corruption, Canelo could take another beat down and get his arm raised. People will complain about bad judging, how he didn’t deserve the victory and say they are giving up on boxing but it would change nothing. Boxing would continue, as corrupt as ever and there would be enough clowns analyzing the video to try to create rational to justify the cards.

    Look at the first fight where ass hole Canelo ball lickers tried to say blocked punches on Bivol’s biceps were scoring punches. Canelo punched Bivol’s arms all night and the Canelo stooges wanted to change the rules to consider these scoring punches. If they fight again, I hope Bivol knocks his ass out because the corrupt judges will try even harder to gift Canelo the decision.

    I don't think he can overcome the gap in talent. At this point it's mostly muscle memory and when you're under enough pressure you revert back to type and your instincts kick in that you've learned in the gym.
