Following his incredible victory over Canelo Alvarez, Russian boxing sensation Dmitry Bivol swiftly gained international recognition as an athlete. This bout is regarded as one of the biggest upsets in boxing, and fans were devastated to see their favorite boxer lose. But soon after his defeat, Alvarez asked for a rematch, and even Bivol consented. A former boxer who is now a boxing analyst on the sport has a different viewpoint on this.

Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol squared off inside the boxing ring in September. Having not lost since his fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2013, the Mexican was strutting his way to the top of the sport. But he was outclassed by a competent and strong Bivol. 

Former welterweight champion Shawn Porter shed some light on the subject and said, “Based on this fight with Triple G, I don’t think he beats Bivol in the rematch. Before this fight, I thought Canelo would come back in the ring and be a better version of himself and have more variety in the rematch with Bivol, and I thought he’d beat Bivol in the rematch.”

Following his defeat against Bivol, Saul Alvarez engaged in a trilogy fight with Gennady Golovkin. Their long-running rivalry was ultimately put to a stop by this bout, as the Mexican kept his title as undisputed super middleweight champion. However, he has a storm coming his way which could leave a dent in his phenomenal boxing career.

Fans have been dubious about a rematch between Alvarez and Bivol ever since the news first surfaced. Fans think Alvarez should continue fighting at 168 pounds since it will be difficult for him to defeat Bivol at 175 pounds. However, the Mexican is renowned for taking on the toughest challenges and succeeding at them.
