Giyasov (12-0 9 KOs) moves up to Welterweight for the bout and will be aiming to make an instant impact. The 28 year old was handily ranked at #7 with the WBA and #10 with the IBF at 140lbs, but made his first steps at eyeing up the 147lbs division with a catchweight win over ten rounds in his Uzbek homeland in December. Previously, ‘Wonder Boy’ gained his lofty seedings with the governing bodies with explosive performances, landing the WBA International title at Super-Lightweight back in April 2019 and dispatching former World champion Darleys Perez inside one round and Patricio Moreno in three rounds last April.
The Uzbek star faces a real examination of his credentials at 147lbs in the shape of the dangerous Gomez (22-2-1 20 KOs), the big-hitting Mexican that will be aiming to use Canelo’s fans to roar him to victory. Gomez, also 28 years old, has been hunting a breakout fight and has landed it on Cinco De Mayo weekend in no small part thanks to an eye-catching KO streak stretching back six fights to August 2019, with two of those wins coming on Canelo cards in Texas.
With 29 of their 34 shared victories in the ring coming inside the distance, fans can expect a thrilling battle between the pair, and there is extra spice with both men being connected to the blockbuster main event, with Gomez part of the Clase Y Talento team masterminded by Canelo’s trainer and manager Eddy Reynoso, and Giyasov training alongside Bivol in California.
“I am honored to be part of this event,” said Giyasov. “For me, both Canelo and Bivol are legendary champions, but I believe in Bivol’s victory, we are on the same team, and we train together.
“This is a new chapter in my career as it will be my first fight in the Welterweight division, and I hope to perform at my best for all my fans!”
“My fight this upcoming May 7 we have a tough opponent but we’re preparing and training very hard,” said Gomez. “We’re coming with everything. Thank you to those that always support me. We’re coming for the win, God willing”
“This is an excellent addition to what promises to be a thrilling night of action in Las Vegas,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Shakhram is looking to make noise at Welterweight, but with the Mexican fans behind him, Christian is going to be a huge threat to ‘Wonder Boy’s’ plans – don’t blink watching this one, as both men carry big power and can end this one in an instant.”
Giyasov and Gomez clash on a huge night of action, topped by Canelo Alvarez looking to become a two-time Light-Heavyweight champion by taking Dmitry Bivol’s WBA belt.
Rising Super-Lightweight talent Montana Love meets Gabriel Valenzuela in a mouth-watering battle at 140lbs, while unbeaten Heavyweight’s Filip Hrgovic and Zhilei Zhang meet in a final eliminator for the mandatory spot for the IBF crown.
so far some pretty good fights on the undercard....canelo might snap his streak of bad undercards with this one lol...but lets see if one of those fights outshines his

I'm reading the thread like, is this the same Bivol I seen or is this some Multi-verse Create a Boxer Bivol with RJJ speed and power, Virgil Hills jab, and Michael Spinx strength, etc....
Best thing dude got going is he's been active so he's sharp. Other than that, I just don't see all this other shyt.
nikkas is making dude sound more dangerous than prime GGG and Floyd combined

And David benavidez woulda already had the shot if his fat ass coulda stopped chomping down on fried beans and chalupa's. David don't deserve a god damn thing at this point
At the end of the day canelo just unified the entire 168 division in 11 months. And completed that goal by beating a guy the same posters in here swore he was gonna be exposed by
Canelo's mission now is to unify 175. He's trying to go in the history books. The Same history books where Demetrius Andrade will only be remembered for getting roasted at a press conference
Canelo already let these guys know what they need to do. Fight eachother and he'll fight the winner. And that's more than fair considering everything he's accomplished. If they can't do that then they don't deserve shyt. We can go back and forth all day about who's more deserving but the fact is most of these guys chasing canelo have trash resumes so it's really no point. But one thing I know is that Demetrius Andrade and David benavidez would both take L's to Dmitry bivol. And you know it too

Relax Stanley my post had Zero to do with Canelo… Ionno why me having an opinion bout Bivol has you writing essays
Canelo could fight me N it be justified … Bivol is not some fukking powerhouse threat… his opps N his performances have been trash since 2018…Kovalev had Power at 175 N Canelo did jus fine… Chinese Russian with 11 kos ain’t goin do shyt

Bivol isn't a "powerhouse" but he's more accomplished in his division than the 168 opps Canelo faced, imo did more than any of those guys to "deserve" this fight, especially compared to someone like BJS who got his 168 belt by beating Isufi and defended it against Coceres and Murray.
I agree that Canelo will win but it's justified to think Bivol will give him a hard task. He might have not impressed lately but he's still in his prime unlike the washed version of Kovalev Canelo has faced. It was still a good win because he fought a 175er titleholder as a 160er, no doubt, I just think Bivol and especially Beterbiev will be tougher for him.
