Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez suffered his second career defeat
World super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez of Mexico, who is considered by many to be the best boxer of our time, was the bookies’ favourite in Saturday night’s fight in Las Vegas. His opponent was Russian Dmitry Bivol, who fights one weight class up.
Thirty-one-year-old Alvarez has found only one opponent in his 60 fights so far, the undefeated legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather. This weekend he had his 61st fight, but he took a bigger bite than he could swallow.
His move up in weight class didn’t pay off, he was no match for Rus Bivol
He didn’t find a recipe for Rus Bivol and lost on points by unanimous decision to all three judges by 115-113. His bold move to the welterweight division was not met with his own success.
The Mexican was pulling the short end of the rope the whole fight and his proverbial eye was not enough to land accurate punches on the Russian fighter this time. Bivol thus adjusted his fight record to 20-0 and remained undefeated. He thus defended the WBA welterweight belt.
Canelo wants a rematch with the Russian, his opponent and promoter are in favor of
After the fight, Alvarez acknowledged that his opponent was the better fighter that night. “ You have to accept it, it’s boxing,” Alvarez told Sport Bible.
Despite his sportsmanship, the loss is hard to accept. ” Of course I want a rematch, it won’t end like this,” Canelo said when asked if he wanted revenge. His opponent immediately accepted the challenge in the ring.
And promoter Eddie Hearn likes the idea of a rematch. “I think Canelo versus Dmitry Bivol is probably the biggest fight in boxing right now,” Hearn said. “Knowing Canelo, it’s definitely not over yet,” he added of the Mexican champion.
Mayweather bet on Bivol, the Russian’s heroic performance earned him a million crowns
Of course, the biggest personalities from the world of martial arts commented on the fight, but it was the post on the social network of Canelo’s first conqueror Floyd Mayweather that amused the most.
After the fight, Mayweather posted a betting slip on his Instagram, which he bet against the Mexican boxer. He turned the bet, worth CZK 237,000, into a net profit of more than one million Czech crowns. “Easy money,” Mayweather captioned the post.
YouTuber Jake Paul also “heated up the soup” at the boxing match between the two elites
Of course, youtuber Jake Paul, who regularly challenges the Mexican boxer, also had his say on the fight. Paul mocked the defeated Alvarez on his social media and wrote on his post that he will beat him in three years.
However, it is quite unlikely that Canelo will be in favour of such a fight. The Mexican fights for world titles in boxing’s biggest organizations, whereas Jake Paul fights in dubious bouts with washed up MMA stars. Canelo has higher goals than to fight in a “money fight” with a handy youtuber.
