Interesting take to suggest that one of the judges scorecards "didn't affect the outcome of the fight"....

She’s the best boxer in the world if you ask me. Taylor, that is.

Canelo fighting at Light- heavyweight this weekend against the Russian Dmitry Bivol.
Good feature on this fight in the latest issue of Boxing News. I expect a win for Canelo, but the Russian is no mug at this weight.

Good fight but again judges very dubious. Bivol won by a bigger margin than that.
He’s a great fighter to be fair (appreciate dubious history with peds, cherry picking opponents/controlling weight conditions and some decisions) but definitely bit off more than he could chew…not talking about that iffy meat either !
Reminded me a little bit of calzaghe v lacy, although that was even more dominant. Just a great performance from a naturally bigger guy

Haven't seen the fight so watch it later. Sounds as if Canelo lost convincingly from what I've read ? Canelo wants a rematch it says, but who's to say he'll win that.
Yeah, looks like Bivol might be wrong for him style wise. Crazy, and a bit questionable, that he’s even fighting at LHW really. Having said that I think he’s controlled some pre fight weight limits/rehydration terms before but Bivols not a massive LHW so presume this wasn’t an issue.
Would like to see it though, just to see if Canelo can change his style enough to get to Bivol

Canelo is a great fighter but it looks like super middleweight is his limit ? Just read a report on the Bivol fight and many say Canelo only won about 3 rounds, so that should be a warning sign.

Bivol is unbeaten for some years and performed at his near perfect best, Canelo would have beaten most LHW and possibly Bivol if he had been like he has in other fights. Took on the division and beat unbeaten boxers within me year, phenomenal fighter despite his questionable previous tests
