DOMINATION BY BIVOL- OSCAR DE LA HOYA TRUTH ON WHY CANELO LOST TO BIVOL; TALKS IF HE WINS REMATCH

You guys agree with Oscar on the adjustments Canelo shouldve made?

[@bryanlove1146]

[@noezuniga8884]

Yes

[@hectormartinez305]

I believe any adjustments on his part would’ve made Bivol make adjustments himself… it wasn’t a close fight in reality but somehow in the scorecards they were.. ridiculous!!

[@bloatedsodium7301]

I concur with the adjustments recommended by Mr. De La Hoya. Thank you for the question.

[@FamilyLopezVlogs]

Yes, I didn’t see any adjustments on Canelo I’m a canelo fan but also I like bivol he’s a good calm person and good personality and just was defending what is he’s like bivol said he’s defending he’s belt. Canelo should just had stayed at 168 tops and just would have fought benavides or charlo and would have stopped all the ducking trash talk. But he wanted to challenge him self because we spars heavyweights but it’s not same from sparring to a boxing fight . Sorry but canelo was a little disappointing

[@MishaElRusito]

Oscar spits facts. I was also surprised Canelo didn't adjust. I remember when Canelo was actually BOXING, when he fought Jacobs, GGG. Then he switched to that pressure style with no jabs and pure power shots (and for me became boring), and seems to have forgot the fundamentals. He used to box beautifully with lots of counters and jabs.

[@JoseVallarta]

He fell in love with his power … just like wilder … he used to box before but then he was just trying to land that right hand.

[@swaydaygaming7571]

Oscar was spot on with saying Canelo didn’t adjust. Pretty sure Canelo thought he could hurt Bivol so kept throwing massive power shots that depleted his stamina quick. With the second ggg fight he adjusted, boxed more etc. think he would go to that style if there was a rematch. But may not look the same at 175. Will be interesting if he tries 175 again or goes back to 168

[@b.nash.7778]

Canelo was used to guys wilting under the pressure late. Bivol never did. He stayed fresh the entire fight and Canelo was the one looking tired.

[@Keepdapocket]

It was easy because GGG didn’t show any movement. It was easy for Canelo to box GGG. He knew GGG didn’t have the Nas speed, and GGG was about pressure. Easier to throw combos the.man get out of dodge.

[@RealistMindset7]

GGG doesn't fight anything like Bivol they're completely different the only similarities is the fact that Bivol and GGG won the first fight but if it happens Bivol will win again

[@lindalim704]

Bivol will dominate him again in the rematch he is taller his jab is good he can avoid punches look at his training with the cobra punching bag maybe if he attack with counter punches a knock down is almost certain ,Alveraz gas quickly because he thinks that by using his punching power he can intimidate bivol but he also started training since a small boy all this is accumulated over the years like ducking, counter punching n good footwork he is a smart boxer who read his opponent well bless him

Canelo got hit clean and got hit a lot.

[@Thomasmatiasjr89]

Bivol has the ability to easily win again if canelo doesn't adjust his style in a rematch. Canelo has the ability to beat Bivol but not with the style he came with last weekend. Canelo got schooled last Saturday.

@@Thomasmatiasjr89 I won't say Canelo doesn't have a "puncher's chance" but there's too much lacking in Canelo's footspeed/footwork for him to expect to beat Bivol, who has really good footspeed. He also has the reach and accuracy to beat Canelo consistently. I pick him to win the rematch handily, unless Canelo's promoter has pull to get the ring size cut in half. Canelo is just not fast on his feet.

The lack of a jab from Canelo allowed Bivol to dictate the fight. Both fighters were physically fit but one was out smarted.

[@thomaspondysh957]

@@nrich5127 A good boxer can use his jab to get inside on a taller boxer but he must be fast enough afoot to do it on someone as fleet afoot as Bivol.

Most people don’t understand how boxing works, Canelo gas out because the weight 175lbs, when you go up in weight you body gas out easier, you body is bigger, it needs more fuel to keep up Bivol is naturally bigger and stronger then Canelo, Bivol fought at heavyweight in the amateurs Canelo won only 4 or 5 rounds max, good win for Bivol.

Exactly , Bivol pretty much dominated and squeaked out the decision. 🤔. Much respect to Canelo though. My favorite fighter of all time is Roy Jones Jr. & he seeked greatness, he challenged himself, knowingly tested his limits. A rare breed. Pacquiao a very close second of all time favorite for me whom also tested his limits. Canelo and his team had to know that this would be a huge challenge. He fought till the end and didn’t get knocked out. Mad props, I don’t feel the loss hurts his stock. I also feel the corrupt judges isn’t his fault as well. Had he tried to get the win that way he would have thrown a lot more scoring shots and combos and way less power shots but he went for the kill. He gave everything he had and left it all in the ring with the only chance he had to win, he never gave up & I can’t say enough, very much respect to Canelo.

[@thewiseguy7100]

The main reason why Canelo lost was because of the weight and ALL he did was throw power punches . That’s it, he didn’t try to do combinations and he definitely felt Bivol power , on the flip side Bivol didn’t get intimidated by Canelos power.

[@unforeseenbeasts3607]

No one seems to explain what really went wrong for Canelo. In Canelo-GGG I and II, GGG was willingly a come foward fighter who gave Canelo the kind of fight that he wanted, where most of the fighting was done at middle distance and neither fighter is really sought to ever keep the other fighter at range. In contrast, in Canelo-Bivol, Bivol was always trying to keep the fight just out of Canelo's range by spamming him with the jab and countering him when he turned with the 1-2. Bivol never seeks to bring the fighter closer even when it seems like he might be able to effectively. The problem for Canelo is not weight, but size (as obviously heavier fighters are generally taller and have more reach, obviously right). The only solution for Canelo is to arrange the rematch to be fought in 18 foot by 18 foot inner ring (not a 22 foot by 22 foot) so that when Canelo does manage to get inside and land some body shots and uppercuts, etc. he will be able to keep Bivol in those situations for longer periods of time. If Canelo fights Bivol in a smaller ring, then Bivol will have less space to re-establish distance away from Canelo and less also less space to pivot towards the center of the ring. For those that think arranging to fight in a smaller ring would be a cheap way for Canelo to negate Bivol's advantage with distance, you have to consider that great boxing matches of the past, including Ali vs. Foreman were fought in much smaller rings (Ali vs. Foreman was fought in a 16 foot by 16 foot ring. In contrast, Mayweather demanded that his fights be fought in 24' by 24' rings so he would have plenty of space to avoid engaging his opponents after getting in his potshots.) Also Leonard vs Hearns was fought in a 20' x 20' ring, whereas ALMOST all major boxing matches today are fought in 22' x 22' rings or 24' x 24'. In general, boxing matches were more exiting in the past because the ring sizes used in the past were generally smaller (generally, not always).

[@cruzdigital7772]

I read it, I hear you, but respectfully naa…

[@dkamikaw]

Bivol wasn't always trying to keep the fight out of Canelo's range. There were multiple times when he let Canelo unload his shots at close range. I believe he could have escaped if he wanted.

[@daebak7370]

Stop trying to rationalize canelo loss. He was thoroughly outboxed by the superior more skilled boxer. Inside and outside. The thing canelo underestimated was bivols speed and his durability. He thought he could power his opponents like he always did. Bivol has a great chin and his conditioning was on point. Dmitry bivol has taken shots from heavy hitters in his division and wasn't phased there was nothing canelo could throw that would hurt bivol. Canelo has alreadh fought at 175 so there is no excuse he just gassed out from the work rate bivol was applying on him and from throwing power shots that had no effect. If they rematch bivol stops canelo. Bivol was conservative with his power in this match bc of his discipline and also cautious of canelos timing and counters now that he has already felt canelos power he's going to take canelo out by pressing the action and go for the kill.

@Ruffa Simon Of course Canelo attempted to be great by fighting the champ at LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT! You think taking an eventual big jump in weight classes from where he first started is nothing? Lol. Yeah he got beat by a better boxer, but thats what happens when u challenge yourself and push limits to try to be great. He wasnt great in the fight, but he ATTEMPTED to be by stepping into the ring with the light heavyweight champ.

[@deebop4904]

Bivol displayed a masterclass on how to catch and trap,shots with your elbows and shoulders. Those dont hurt as much, and they significantly gassed canelo out. Just ask George foreman about throwing too hard.......

[@maradona.geopolitoca]

Analyze, BIVOL has not shown its entire arsenal, imagine if it goes down to 168 and takes those 4 Titles from Canelo? It would not only take away the Titles but also the historical LEGACY of Canelo, what would you do? BIVOL vs. CANELO THE REVANCH!!

[@johnsilver6316]

If he goes down to 168, bivol ain’t winning. If he wants to keep that title, he needs to stick at 175. He performed well because that’s around his natural weight. By going down those powerful shots aren’t going to be as effective. I mean he couldn’t even managed to drop canelo for 12 rounds, at 168 canelo performs differently and without a doubt is going to dominate bivol.

[@johnsilver6316]

And let’s be honest, his legacy isn’t going anywhere, that’s not how that works. Every fighter leaves his mark, even if a better fight comes along down the road. What canelo has accomplished is what the majority of boxers dream of, that includes Floyd. Just like he had his time, canelo has had his, and it’s far from being over.

[@neometalx9]

bivol took it easy and still dominated canelo, maybe he really means to go to 168 because he knows he could take whatever canelo throws at him and also do better if needed.. but what bivol doesnt know, is how the weight will affect him, he never fought there, hope he doesn't take going to 168 lightly and lose to canelo.

[@Randomhandlename]

People forget 168 was Bivol’s natural weight he moved up 7lbs are nothing

Canelo was too short in height and reach to establish a jab especially jabbing without getting countered.

[@GeorgeMMA]

I disagree. shorter fighters have had success with jabs in the past before. Yes height is a factor, but a skilled, shorter boxer can have success against a bigger man using the jab, Canelo did against jacobs

[@blackhoodie4170]

Ever heard of slip jabs? Or jabs while keeping your hands up?

[@tonyabarca1456]

I never agree with Oscar but I agree on him on this interview

[@noealbarran4966]

Canelo strategic plan went wrong. He thought he could take Bivol by punches straight to hes arms, Bivols team noticed that. He didn't attack the body that's what canelo is known for plus he looked gas out..

[@victormonroy33]

Alot of things went wrong for Canelo this fight. 1. He was loading up on EVERY punch. They weren't really hurting Bivol, so he should have adjusted and changed the volume of his punches, as Oscar stated. That got his gassed quickly. 2. He was head hunting. Throwing alot of hooks and overhand rights. Forgot about the jab/jab to the body (he tried side body shots (occasionally). 3. Going on a new diet (vegan) during training camp might've not been a great idea. Who knows how (or if) that affected him. We also have to note Bivol has a great ring IQ and had an excellent game plan. If a rematch happens, either Canelo makes great adjustments and can win a decision againt Bivol or Bivol beats him ever worse.

[@albertoarechiga8123]

Canelo needed more body work and jabs bro to beat a bigger fighter, he was laying on the ropes too much too, Eddy needs to come up with a better game plan.

[@bulletproofman323]

He tried to go for the body all night but got blocked and counter punched most the night. He just got read like a book and Bivol responded accordingly to everything Canelo threw.

[@Dom0204s]

Bivol executed his game plan. Keep him at range, keep your lead jab out, don’t let him settle inside, keep him frustrated with constant ring awareness and control. Canelo did not adjust, despite the fact that he has the capacity to box beautifully. The fact he couldn’t admit his shortcomings post fight slightly irked me though

[@frankelizalde9306]

Good thing there was no stoppage due to cuts by the 4th round. If so, then fight would have been awarded to Canelo , as judges apparently planned.

[@juang3187]

canelo needs a new trainer!!

[@sabrina.natalie]

Yeah, I agree with you Juan. Eddy/Canelo’s team seem to only have one strategic formula - which includes a load of power punches, gradually wearing down the opponent so that they can lower their hands, and coming in aggressive in the later rounds. With Bivol, once that magic formula didn’t work, Canelo looked exhausted, frustrated, and defeated. Eddy and his team didn’t really have any advice or insight to provide for Canelo, from what I can see. It looked like they were just scolding him- but offered no real strategy or solutions. I don’t think Canelo will ever leave Eddy, because there’s intense loyalty there, and he basically grew up with him. However, I think Canelo could use an assistant coach - someone who can help him with a different boxing style and sharpen his adaptability.

Oscar always keeps it 100 everyone gives him stick for keeping it real, the real reason canelo was upset with him has nothing to do with money but everything to do with canelo not actually wanting to take the tuff fights in his natural weight class when they where offered to him, then DAZN gave canelo what he wanted, cinnamon really believed he could knock out ever European style fighter by banking on his power he has never utilised the jab in the ring and has horrible footwork, when Oscar told him he need something new, not a trainer that tells you to put your hands up and walk forward every fight no plan B or C for his fighters he’s just offers them clenbuterol and phentermine, then the mainstream boxing outlets Cover him and greatness 🤔 this was a cherry pick gone wrong for canelo he actually hasn’t learned that much since the Floyd fight he has always struggled against boxers
