It was a 4-rounder. The up-and-comers never face anyone worth a damn until they go at least 8.

But it's a story and boxing needs those

Canelo/Bovil tonight. Canlo at 174 and only being 5'8''. Should make things interesting.

Canelo man what the f***

Weeeeeeeeeew, did not think Bivol had a shot

The king is dead!!! The king is dead!!!

And Canelo was talking about beating Usyk at 201lbs lol.

Bivol scores stunning unanimous win over Alvarez

In a fight that three judges scored 115-113 but wasn't nearly that close, Dmitry Bivol posted one of the biggest upsets in recent memory, notching a unanimous decision over boxing's top star, Canelo Alvarez, on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Not sure why it's considered an upset. 175lbs is a big step up for canelo. I hope he doesn't go for a rematch and instead defends his titles at super middle weight. And bivol fights the winner of Bieterbiev and Joe smith jr to unify light the heavyweight titles.

People hammering on Canelo. Guy fought 20 lbs out his natural weight. I give him mad props for even taking the fight.

Think him talking about beating Usyk at 201lbs might of gave fuel to his haters. Lol

Love how people are hating on Canelo for going up to 175 to fight Bivol, saying he's dodging Charlo or Benavidez.

At the same time they're praising Tank for taking on a bunch cherries. I get he looks good, but you've beaten no one.

Bud was undisputed in junior welter right? He wins this he'll have been undisputed in two weight classes?

Beterbiev vs Smith Jr. was about as one-sided as the Avs/Bolts game tonight.

Beterbiev vs Smith Jr. was about as one-sided as the Avs/Bolts game tonight.

The 6/1 odds were a bit generous in favour of Smith.

Beterbiev vs Bivol is a fight that needs to happen. I'd be more interested in seeing it than Canelo/GGG. Not gonna happen this year as Beterbiev is likely fighting Yarde next. Decent chance it never happens.

Beterbiev vs Smith Jr. was about as one-sided as the Avs/Bolts game tonight.

Smith has never been an impressive fighter IMO. Wasn't surprised to see Artur handle him.

Sucks we have to wait through these mandatory fights when everyone wants to see Beterbiev and Bivol.

Usyk won the rematch

 

[MMC]

Jesus what an embarrassing tantrum

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Usyk won the rematch

Joshua started with a much better gameplan but looked like he couldn’t sustain it as the fight went on. Usyk also started off slow, could be because he was trying to get the read on Joshua. Pretty interesting fight, very calculated from both fighters. Almost the exact opposite of Wilder and Fury.
