Canelo got pieced up on ropes there. Macho is good but Bivol is smart volume and fast accuracy. Canelo strong but looks pooped in spots
Interesting 5th round Canelo started fast and very aggressive. Bivol fires back and has Canelo on the ropes. Canelo calls him forward but Bivol stays back and refuses to engage. Bivol wants to stick to his boxing. These are close rounds but give Canelo round 5.
4-1 Bivol.
Alvarez is certainly looking the more tired too, it's going to be hard for Alvarez to get back into this.
Have not given Canelo a round, 6-0 Bivol. Last two rounds getting wider ???. Time to mash the gas Canelo! Uppercut is there all night.
Bivol circling Canelo and knocking his head back. Canelo looks slow and frustrated and Bivol busier than Saul in round 6.
5-1 Bivol
CBS Sports has it 6-0.
DAZN of course has it 4-2.
Bivol is controlling the centre of the ring and looks the more fresher pushing Canelo into the ropes at times in the 7th.
Canelo looks flustered and dropping his hands. He looks tired.
6-1 but judges will have it closer for Canelo.
Canelo landed a couple of singles, left to body but Canelo visibly feeling it as Bivol is putting shots together right off. Accurate sharp volume vs thudding one or two.
Hyman Roth is in the tv seats sitting behind the half dozen pretty girls.
The guy from CBS Sports (7-0) and the one from DAZN (4-3) seeing two different fights.
I wonder how many rounds Alvarez wins this by on the cards. Best Bivol does is get one judge in a SD loss.
Canelo starts aggressively in round 8 but Bivol fires back and has Canelo on the ropes for the remainder of round 8. Bivol being careful and cautious, maybe needs to dominate the round more as he is not the house fighter.
6-2
Alvarez falls over with a sleight down push, he's cooked, bivol looks fine, Alvarez will be lucky to make it to the end.
8-0 CBS.... 4-4 DAZN
Smells like another robbery in the making.
Canelo starts aggressively again round 9 as Bivol moves around. Bivol pushes Canelo back but Saul let's his hands go to win the round.
6-3
8-1 Bivol. Better surge Canelo late 9th but truth is he looks old, overtrained and slowish. He needs something dramatic
Bivol has to dominate these last 3 rounds to win.
Bivol landing harder jabs as Canelo looks tired, flat footed and arms down.
Canelo is fighting on the ropes and being pushed back now.
Both look tired with their arms down now.
7-3 Bivol.
Mexican lost this one unless he can end it.
9-1 Bivol. Actually shocked Canelo looks this knackered. He's just falling away from combos sliding on ropes wth. Crazy unfolding's here
Wait a minute Alvarez has turned vegan :S...... That might have been mistake, back on the beef you plum.
Well I clearly underrated Bivol. Badly
Wow. Just farking wow. He tried the "point at the canvas and look away" thing ???. What is happening. Bivol battering him
Bivol controlling the distance and the fight pushing a tired Canelo . Bivol beating him up on the ropes now in round 11.
8-3 Canelo looks lost.
Canelo should've hired DAZN guy as judge.
I guess that's the Spanish dazn, manic has bivol well up.
Poor old Eddie these soviets are always ruining his well laid plans
118-110 Bivol and that is on a Christmas morning. No question. This was a clinic. worried about Canelo tbh, he was not in this one and we need to ask some hard questions on reality
Canelo trying to stop Bivol but he does not have the sustained strength to do it in the last round. Give him the last round.
8-4 Bivol but judges may have it closer.
Don't you dare...
CBS 119-109
DAZN 114-114
Stinks around here.
