Yeah Bivol is a pure-creative boxer with blazing speed, footwork, a versatille jab, great timing and a great sense of when to punch.

I think Canelo will still want the rematch with Bivol but in what conditions? I mean if its at 168 with a rehydration limit clause and with judges like Ross, Byrd, Moretti or Steve Weisfeld then Canelo is on a mission.

I wonder if in that contractual rematch clause Bivol must give the rematch to Canelo at whatever weight and conditions Canelo wants ?

If Bivol agrees to it that's his problem. Canelo would be doing nothing wrong by offering Bivol a rematch at 168. If Bivol purposely puts himself at a disadvantage for the sake of money well...it is what it is. Can he overcome the disadvantage would be the question of the match.

Thats true. Probably Bivol could make 168 but also did Dawson. It takes a toll on you even when you go back to your weight class. Also Bivol has a shredded body at 175 , so he'd need to cut weight from his muscle mass to come to 168.

Talks have surfaced of a potential rematch next spring, with the possibility of Bivol fighting at super middleweight for the first time in his career.

“It’s not my preference, but we could,” admitted Bivol. “[F]or four belts… it’s interesting fight. Why not? But remember, I am light heavyweight. This is my weight.”

“When I fought at 75 kilograms [roughly 165 pounds], I was fighting first to make weight and second, against my opponent,” admitted Bivol. “I decided that I don’t want to make that weight. But I worked with nutritionists and learned how to make weight.

"Before the weigh-in for this fight, I ate. I had a small breakfast and then came to the scale to make weight. I think we could talk about it, of course.”

@ B.S news

Bivol should demand the lion's share of the purse. Talks will cease.

They'd probably cease if he even demanded a 50/50 split

Indeed 50/50 to cease the talks . At the end of the day Canelo probably thought that Bivol would be another Callum Smith type of work or maybe even more easy. Bivol proved all wrong and he's the new Mexicutioner. I wonder if Benavidez would have the balls to join to that select list and fight Bivol??

Well, seeing how Bivol's already been screwed over once, he'd be pretty stupid to let that happen again.

Canelo and Fury have something else in common to their drug history, they're both penny pinching bastards.
