Per CompuBox, Bivol is second only to long-time Canelo rival Gennady Golovkin in total number of jabs landed per round amongst all active boxers. Overall, Bivol leads all active boxers - including pound-for-pound level fighters like Canelo, Shakur Stevenson, and Vasiliy Lomachenko - in CompuBox plus/minus rating, a statistic frequently used to assess how dominant a fighter has been over his opposition. Bivol, unlike Kovalev was when he fought Canelo, is still in his prime, undefeated, adept at boxing on his feet, and I think overall will have much more success fighting from distance behind his power jab than Kovalev, Saunders, and Plant did to varying extends when they fought Canelo. Like Canelo, Bivol is an elitely-skilled, highly efficient puncher who is also defensively responsible and excellent at managing distance. Bivol manages distance behind his jab. 1-2 behind them, body shot, clinch. If Bivol can effectively shut out bigger, stronger fighters who had reach advantage like Joe Smith behind his jab, I think we can expect him to be similarly effective in large stretches of the fight vs. Maybe (or probably) I'm the sucker when it comes to odds against Canelo but I think this is arguably the strongest opportunity to bet against Canelo since his fight vs.
As great as Canelo is - I think there's a chance he might be biting off more than he can chew at 175 lbs. Bivol is undefeated and been a champion at 175 lbs for five years but he's a nearly 4-1 underdog for good reasons.
