Bivol!!!
It has been a good fight, maybe not as great as many bettors imagined, but we have to give credit to Canelo to be a really great fighter; he lost, but against a fighter that in that category could be the strongest ever if there wasn’t The King.
Canelo’s game plan, the one that his corner proposes, clearly has not been effective because Bivol is a perfect soldier, always a high right hand to block that hook above and tight elbows for the hook below, and above all to bring combinations and move continuously, never be found unprepared, because Canelo really hurts, and has a granitic jaw, something that we have also seen the Russian, who makes a linear boxing one two and go…
Great exchanges in the first rounds where the physical superiority of the Russian was immediately evident, technically Canelo has done some defensive actions from the manual of boxing, but after having taken not always managed to put the shots as he wanted, indeed he did not succeed (because the Russian is not devastating but it hurts and is bigger) the match lasted 5 rounds, which still surprised us, because Canelo was able to bring a couple of right uppercuts that would have brought down a house, but not Dimitry. . the superiority of the Russian was much clearer from the fifth onwards, even a couple of times has crossed the jab of the Mexican that we repeat is a hall of fame, but must revise its plans, it is clear that does not belong remotely to this category, because his shots are powerful and devastating, but not so much to move boxers who naturally are of this division; moments of frustration of Alvarez that has failed to do what he knows. Bivol unbelievable in putting his short but fast and deadly series after exchanges and ready to replicate blow after blow and above all to control everything that Canelo tried to program.
The Mexican never worked on the body, indeed he took a deadly blow under I think it never happened for Canelo; I repeat beautiful match but Bivol played like the cat with the mouse, he always controlled and pushed and Canelo was good to resist especially at the end, with that defense that he does being on the ropes that is incredible, but we repeat … after he never managed to put back, as the Russian moved refused and put back. Canelo is a great fighter but he didn’t repeat the great feat he accomplished with Kovalev…. Bivol is a top fighter, silent, scrupulous, surgical, the great match against Ramirez will come, even if I remember that this kind of fighters don’t make the spectators crazy…
Canelo will still make the history of boxing, but the corner can not dare, for us as we said it would have been clear the outcome of the match, we thought they had information but have, in our opinion, wrong to choose a boxer, with these characteristics that is top fighter and world champion, as a challenger to confirm Canelo with two initials in a weight category far from him, but it is also clear that to sit on a chair in the Olympus you have to dare (premise that in our opinion Canelo is already in the hall)… History does not always repeat itself, but praise to Canelo because he confirmed that he meets fighters at the top of the form and true champions, and what about Bivol glacial, immense for him other great challenges.
