RIP MR. SMOKE
people just wanna discredit canelo's opponents so they don't have to give him credit if he beats them. anybody should have been able to see Bivol was the toughest opponent canelo could have faced. He had every single tool that canelo struggles with. which is exactly why I wanted him to take the PBC deal. david is still tailormade for canelo. He doesn't have the feet, defense, or the IQ that bivol does.@R=G Talk your shytThe way Canelo got outclassed gives way more credence to all that shyt you was talking about Canelo being strategic avoiding people like Andrade. @((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL probably the biggest Canelo stan on here but even he was arguing with clowns in here that Bivol was a way bigger threat than people like Plant and Charlo and had a real chance to beat Canelo. Couple other dudes explicitly picked Bivol to win early on but majority might have underrated dude
Bivol needs to get some P4P consideration after that performance
Think Canelo need to eat that L and move on, still fight GGG in the fall at a weight that's better suited for him. Leave them prime big guys alone
but there aint no shame in daring to be great. former Junior middleweight moving up to light heavy to face the best guy there. it is what it is. canelo needed to be humbled. he fell in love with his power and thought he could walk through anybody. Dude used to be a great combination puncher now he just throws one punch at a time trying to put everybody to sleep. this is the reality check he needed. He'll bounce back even stronger. I do expect him to take the rematch cause thats the type of competitor he is. Don't know if he'll win but he'll make adjustments and do better. It really comes down to conditioning. he had success early breaking through bivol's guard but all those power punches tired him out. it was just a dumb gameplan. he really thought bivol was gonna fold like the rest. this is the 2nd fight in a row where canelo looked slow and lethargic. like he was moving in quicksand. this is the worst his stamina ever looked though. he could barely even keep his hands up. he looked slow from the jump. they need to fire their s&c coach asap and get off that bullshyt vegan diet. It seemed like he had finally conquered his stamina issues too. so this is either a training issue or he's just finally getting old. But dude was stumbling all over the ring even when he wasn't being hit. Smh. Thats why i'm not even mad. if anything is gonna light a fire under him again this is it. If he doesn't come back better then he might officially be washed. but I'm guessing they didn't bother to put in the necessary conditioning work since they didn't need to lose the extra weight. shyt is inexcusable to not be able to go hard for more than 4 rounds.

. I don't even know if this shyt is going to post. Canelo had a terrible game plan. His whole game plan was just walking in with wide ass Clubber Lang hooks. Nearly nothing straight and Canelo has one of the best right crosses in the game. Additionally, his boxing ability has regressed a lot over the last 4 fights. Look at the dude that fought Callum Smith, and the dude that fought Kovalev and such after. When he fought Kovalev he adopted his current walking straight in behind a high guard and looking to land one big punch style. Where's the dude that walked in behind the jab with head movement, the pull counters off jabs, the seamless transition from defense to offense? All the stuff he picked up from Mayweather after they fought? He's only 31. He can still physically do that stuff. He fell wayyyyyy too in love with his power around the Krusher fight, and got hella lazy and lax in the ring. It had been working out for him, but he got his ass beat last night. I think if the Canelo that fought Callum Smith shows up in a rematch, he could give a much better account of himself; but I'm still not sure even that version of himself beats Bivol. He barely hit dude clean all night, and when he did Bivol ate that shyt like Scooby snacks. 
Absolutely everybody had Canelo as a favorite damn near. And the only reason he is jumping all these weight divisions is because he avoiding the ones where all the boxers the people WANT him to face are. The black and Mexican ones 
Nobody wanted this fight. Nobody has wanted any of his last couple fights. Nobody wants to see him fight a 40 year old GGG again either 
He more favored in this fight than the Vegas odds would have been vs Andre or Charlo or Benevedez. Stop it. He was supposed to win tonight and weight had absolutely nothing to do with it. He is a stiff power puncher whose Achilles heel is facing mobile fighters. His boxing pedigree is limited and had to rely on traps vs a SMARTER fighter. Not to mention being a proven cheat. Him jumping weight classes is him trying to cheat the system and boxing fans. 
This isn’t daring to be great. There are plenty of fights that were considered tougher despite the outcome of him losing this one. Fighting only white fighters os not daring to be great…taking steroids wasn’t either (past or not) …It’s being a bytch and it finally backfired. Crawford and Spence are daring to be great. Shakur Stevenson dares to be great… Devin Haney dares to be great. This dude duck all the smoke to the satisfaction of gullible fans
