Big upset weekend between the derby and boxing.  During at least a dozen conversations with my boxing crowd over the last month, I believed in, touted and put all my bets on Bivol.

I don't remember if Canelo has ever taken that many shots before?  He couldn't hurt Bivol, or at least B shook it off well.  Canelo's arm punching that he's known for didn't have the same effect it did on previous opponents.  He relied on power shots, one at a time.  Bivol's punches early on, didn't seem to have pop, but weird enough, they seemed to get harder as the fight went on.  Also I don't remember a lot of guys in that division throwing 3 punch combo's the way he does, looked really good.  B's team had a great game plan, and he smartly never veered from it.  I think about round 7 Canelo didn't know what to do with him, as he seemingly decided to rely on uppercuts, for the "one", which should be a feature not a bug.

I don't think it would be smart for Canelo to rematch.  I don't know which way he turns now.  Charlo looked terrible in his last fight and is on his own rematch fight next weekend, and I know I've stated before, I'm not at all interested in GGG.
