Man, it’s been a wild ride following Canelo Alvarez’s career, right? That guy’s a beast in the ring, but last night was something else. I was all set up, snacks ready, excited to watch him take on Dmitry Bivol. I mean, Canelo’s been on a roll, so I was expecting another win, you know?
So, the fight started, and right off the bat, it felt different. Bivol, this guy’s no joke, he came in with a solid plan. Canelo, he’s trying his usual stuff, moving, looking for openings, but Bivol’s defense was tight. I’m watching, getting a bit nervous, thinking, “Okay, maybe this won’t be as easy as I thought.”
Round after round, Bivol’s just sticking to his game. He’s using his reach, landing jabs, keeping Canelo at bay. And Canelo, man, he’s trying, but he’s getting frustrated. I could see it in his eyes. He’s throwing punches, but they’re not landing like they usually do. It’s like watching a puzzle that just won’t fit together.
- First round, feeling each other out.
- Mid-fight, Bivol’s taking control.
- Later rounds, Canelo’s getting desperate.
By the time we hit the championship rounds, I was on the edge of my seat. It was clear this was going to the judges, and honestly, I had no idea how they were going to score it. Then came the moment of truth, and they announced a unanimous decision for Bivol.
What’s next after the fight?
The whole room went silent. I just sat there, staring at the screen, trying to process it all. Canelo lost. It’s not something you see every day, and it definitely wasn’t something I expected. Bivol, I mean, he did his thing. The strategy, the execution, it was all on point.
I spent the rest of the night thinking about the fight, going over each round in my head. It’s one of those matches that will be talked about for a long time. Canelo’s a champ, no doubt, but last night belonged to Bivol. He came, he saw, he conquered. You gotta respect that. It was quite shocking and I was really upset.
I even cried a little after the fight. I mean, this is boxing, anything can happen. It’s why we watch, right? For those moments of surprise, the unexpected twists and turns. But still, man, Canelo losing… that’s going to take some time to get used to.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this moment with you. This kind of defeat is really a huge blow to Canelo, but I believe he will bounce back eventually.
I feel sorry for him. I know he tried his best.
