  • Outlands Canelo 152 to 84, wins fight by close decision.

    Those refs should be investigated for offshore accounts in the Caymen Islands. Crooks or blind, they have no excuse for their judging and the athletic commission needs to make them explain how they justified the BS.

    I’m honestly surprised that they let Bivol win but thankfully he made it too difficult to cheat him.

    • Yes but they tried I had the fight 9/3 Bivol and even then Canelo never won any round convincingly

    • Disgraceful scoring proved those judges were in the tank for their cash cow, Canelo, as per-usual.

  • Also, what a great champion and man Bivol is. A wonderful representative of the sport.

  • Bivol is great. I was hoping he’d stop Canelo. FLoyd got a split decision when he dominated Canelo so that would tell anyone you have to knock this dude out the beat the judges. I’m so glad the right guy, DESERVING guy go the win.

  • We just saw a fight that any normal judging would’ve had Bivol winning at least 9 out the 12 rounds they fought. And in truth it’s a miracle that the judges did not find away to cheat this new wonderful champ. With Tyson Fury saying bye bye to the sport, we now have a new wonderful rep for boxing in Bivol. I believe that we as boxing fans need to keep a close eye on the sport and make our voices heard loud and clear. I.M.O this is the only way we can keep boxing to be held accountable. And I think we’re going to see Deontae Wilder take over the heavyweight division, because no matter what the critics say about him, he is by FAAR the hardest hitting 1pounce K.O artist the game has ever seen, and that includes all the greats before him,NOBODY ever put down so many guys with 1 punch K.O’s,and that includes Foreman,Liston,Tyson,Louis,Lewis,V.Klitscko Wlad Klitscko,Marciano,Dempsey etc.

  • So much for the notion that Canelo is as great as Mayweather. I like Bivol. He’s a straight talker, respectful, sincere, honest with his perspective. He knew he was better than Canelo and proved it. Kudos to him. He conducts himself like a man who has the pedigree of a champion and he is a champion.

  • I was also worried when I heard 15-13. At the very very least 16-12 Bivol

  • Bivol is a total class act. And as long as he’s champion, they need to respect him in the future & play the Russian national anthem before his fights. C’mon Eddie Hearn, neither America nor Britain are at war with Russia; keep politics out of it & respect Bivol.
