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

[Spicoli]

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

[Master]

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.

[Spicoli]

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.

[Master]

Bivol circling Canelo and knocking his head back. Canelo looks slow and frustrated and Bivol busier than Saul in round 6.

5-1 Bivol

[TitoFan]

CBS Sports has it 6-0.
DAZN of course has it 4-2.

[Master]

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.

[Spicoli]

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.

[Kirkland Laing]

Hyman Roth is in the tv seats sitting behind the half dozen pretty girls.

[TitoFan]

The guy from CBS Sports (7-0) and the one from DAZN (4-3) seeing two different fights.

[Kirkland Laing]

I wonder how many rounds Alvarez wins this by on the cards. Best Bivol does is get one judge in a SD loss.

[Master]

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

[palmerq]

Alvarez falls over with a sleight down push, he's cooked, bivol looks fine, Alvarez will be lucky to make it to the end.

[TitoFan]

8-0 CBS.... 4-4 DAZN

Smells like another robbery in the making.

[Master]

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
