I think the Bivol rematch will seal his fate as the pound for pound king in that division, for me, he ain’t naturally that big, another tuff and testing fight that

I mean cherry picked in the way that he saw bivol as the easiest title holder in the lhw division mate. Some of his opponents have been questionable ,certainly cherry picked. Rocky fielding being prime example. Amir khan another. Maybe he got over confident because of the kovalev fight for going up again? Even that fight he could have made a year or 2 earlier rather than waiting until he saw kovalev on the slide .Hell of a fighter don't get me wrong, just seems to me he does avoid a few people. He's got a lot of miles on the clock even though he's only 31, I wonder how long he can keep it up because I can't see him being one to carry on until he starts to slip too far

Interesting thoughts mate. Cherry picking Bivol? He is a future / now pound for pounder if ever I have seen one, unbeaten and looking for a step up the ladder, hardly cherry picked, I would say peaking at his prime unless you think he took it before he peaked?
One thing I like about Canelo, he openly states he wants to fight the best all the time, Mark of a true fighter for me that

He was humble in the ring mate yes. But he now reckons he only lost 3 rounds!!!! I'd say that's all he won. He tried to cherry pick another belt and it backfired .
I think he'll deal with charlo fairly comfortably but benavidez won't be a pushover and canelo knows that, that's why he's been avoiding him for the last couple of years

I think Canelo will blow those two away quite easily, hope they happen!
Bivol got the job done, quick flicking jab to keep him off balance and out of range. Brilliant game plan, boxed him beautifully, dictated the distance and kept that right hand guard glued to his face all night. Brilliant performance.
If there is a rematch it will be interesting. Bivol was asking for the left to the body all night and Canelo hardly threw it, if he had he might have taken a Bivol right  
To be fair, I think in Canelos last few fights he has been so confident he just thinks he can walk people down and eventually he will land the killer shot. Not against Bivol on the night. To be fair I expected him to switch it about a bit but he didn’t. Respect though, humble in defeat, best man won on the night is what he said in the ring

There will be. Canelo thinks he won 
Better to rematch and have the excuses ready (too big, stamina etc etc) than face the threats of charlo and benavidez at his own weight class where he would have to admit losing to the better man . Don't get me wrong canelo is a great fighter, but he's been protected over the years and done a hell of a lot of cherry picking

Bivol, unanimous decision 
Said below it was a dangerous fight for Canelo, Bivol is a solid boxer. Wonder if there will be a rematch?

Enjoy fight fans
A master class
Who sad he was just a puncher, watch the footwork and the movement, plus the defence, incredible

Top man Gerry
Fishing tomorrow, early, so bed for me zzzzzzzzz, saying that, might catch the end on 5 live
Tricky one to predict. If I was a betting man my money would be on Canello, for me he either blows him away and shows his class or it goes to the later rounds
Has the potential to be a cracker if Bivol is on the top of his game, and he certainly needs to be!!!

Canello is the best boxer on the planet for me right now. Not seen too much of Bivol but he looks a good solid boxer when I have, I like him. Dangerous fight for me and could be Canellos biggest test to date. Saying that, we’re are talking about a real pound for pound superstar here

Canelo vs Bivol /May 7th
