Entering the WBA Super Light Heavyweight, Canelo Alvarez is highly appreciated than Dmitry Bivol. With the level of a puncher who won a series of great victories in the past decade, Canelo made the majority of fans believe that a victory would almost be in his hands.
However, for those who have extensive professional knowledge about boxing, all understand Dmitry Bivol is an indispensable puncher. The Light Heavyweight is a forte of Bivol since he went to play the professional, and Canelo has just played this class in some small matches.
In terms of achievement in Light Heavyweight, Bivol is a puncher who holds the 19-0 win (11) before his confrontation Canelo. He even has 8 successful WBA belt protection matches, thereby being recognized to hold Super belt since 2019. The persistent style of physical fighting helps Bivol strong enough to wear physical strength every opponent in a long -term war of 12 rounds.
As expected of the fans, Canelo Alvarez is the puncher who took the initiative in the first 4 rounds. He constantly attacked, putting Bivol into the corner of the radio to launch his forte. But 4 rounds later were Bivol's acting ground, when the Russian boxer turned the flag to make Canelo fall into a secret position.
Bivol's rising from the 5 to 8th half seems to be beyond Canelo's prediction. Mexico puncher can only take the initiative in the 9th half, and lose Bivol in the remaining 3 rounds. At the end of the match, all three assessment referees were dots of bivol, who won against Canelo Alvarez by calculating points.
The victory over Canelo helped Bivol continue to successfully defend the WBA Super Light Heavyweight's Light Heavyweight belt for his career. In the opposite direction, Canelo Alvarez may have to consider returning the belt matches in the weight of the super Middleweight, when the upper weight is still a world different from him.
