Shame for bivol, worse time to be Russian. Never mind the weight, bivol was FAR TOO GOOD for alvarez, during the whole fight. And, I've got to be honest, I think bivol will always beat alvarez, and is definitely a rising star, who I didn't really know much about.

jukel123 6,570 Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Canelo started as a welterweight. He's very good but the fella was just too big and fought the right fight against him. If I was Canelo, I would skip the rematch. Pointless, unless the judges .......... well you know. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant jab, good defence, canelo looked lost, no rematch needed imo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,649 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Won a nice couple of quid on this fight id only seen Bivol box a few times but just thought he looked all wrong for Canelo. Bivol fought the perfect fight and Canelo just looked old i thought. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fury at that time did not throw his weight, Joshua would've landed and we know Fury can be hurt, he's recovered well against Wilder but I thought a finisher like Joshua would cause him trouble... Its swung a bit now, Joshua trying to box and Fury now punching his weight... its the fight we all want to see, regardless if they aren't the best ever etc...it has an interest around it...unfortunately I think Usyk is too good and AJ will struggle again, I hope AJ wins and they get the fight on... Agree with a lot of that i actually think Joshua has been totally " over - coached "............all the good qualities he had of spitefulness,desire to hurt opponents,commitment to his attacks,finishing etc etc " have been coached out of him in favour of getting behind his jab !.....i never liked McCracken as a pro coach he does wonders with the amateur kids fair play but this is pro boxing and he pretty much fell on Froch who with his chin could probably of been trained by anyone ! I honestly believe that Joshuas best chance with the top level fighters is to fully commit to 3 rounds of doing what got him there in the first place.....and if he does that i dont think anyone of them can live with him Usyk included........sadly though i think his ( misguided in my opinion ) loyalty to McCracken will see him try to box off the back foot with a box/fighter style that doesnt come natural to him.....and probably be beaten by the top guys.

And 'it's been a long time coming'. I'll say it again, for about the 10th time, I said fury would retire before he has to fight joshua. And he definitely WON'T come out of retirement to fight usyk. People on here can keep repeating the ABSOLUTE BULLSHITE that fury keeps bleating on about. In fairness you did say that i remember.....i only remember because i thought you was talking nonsense but looking back it was probably on the cards you're right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fury's best wins to date, are against wilder, a guy that can't really box well, and has fought NO-ONE his whole career. How on earth he ended up as WBC heavyweight champion, is beyond me really, but more likely down to the WBC dodgy as f**k politics, and a lot of jiggery pokery!! Fury definitely lost the 1st mcdermot fight, struggled with and has been decked, more than a few times by cruiserweights, when he's massively outweighed them. The fight against klitschko he was definitely 'gifted' as klitschko simply didn't do anything. Really don't know what fury fans are looking at when they see him fighting, cos I certainly don't see anything special at all. Its what makes people " fans " of fighters mate.......they cant see what " fans " of boxing can see. I mean im a fan of West Ham and think we're the greatest club in the world !......see how it works 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
