Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Dmitry Bivol - 7th May 2022

[TitoFan]

canelo is taking a big risk against one of the best fighters at one seventy five next

Agreed, very risky against the second best light heavyweight in the world. Canelo is not even a natural at the weight. Can not wait for this bout.

i also rate dmitry as number two at one seventy five going into this fight. where does everyone else rated dmitry going into the fight?

I agree.

no catchweight or rehydration clauses?

It would appear not. I don't believe what I read in the press most of the time, (especially when it comes to boxing negotiations). But assuming this is true and comes off without any of those clauses, all respect to Canelo.

It won't erase my opinion on how his early career was handled (with his full knowledge and blessing)... but it'll go a long way toward changing my opinion of him at this point in time, and his place in boxing history.

dmitry looks in great shape. anyone picking dmitry? this is a dangerous opponent

undercard

[Master]

I am picking Bivol to win. He will be too big, strong and skilled for Canelo. If everything is fair.

I agree. But.....

Bivol is a smaller light heavyweight he could probably make super middleweight quite easily, pretty sure smith and plant are taller than him and saunders must be around the same height too..i don't think he'll have a strength advantage either, infact I'd guess that Alvarez is the more powerful of the two.. bivol is pretty quick and moves well though but i think Alvarez has improved fighting guys like that and he'll get a late stoppage win here.
