Bivol Defeats Canelo: A Stunning Upset

Dmitry Bivol Pulls Off Major Upset, Defeating Saul Canelo Alvarez

In a shocking turn of events at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs) pulled off a stunning upset by outboxing Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs). The fight, which was scored 115-113 across the board by all three judges, saw Bivol land a career-low 84 punches overall, while Alvarez landed 149.

Despite the low punch count, Bivol was able to outland Alvarez with his jab and control the distance throughout the fight. Alvarez, who had been a heavy favorite, was unable to consistently land his power punches and seemed frustrated by Bivol's movement and defense.

The upset not only marks a major victory for Bivol, but also dashes Alvarez's hopes of becoming the undisputed light heavyweight champion. It also raises questions about Alvarez's status as the pound-for-pound king and the future of his boxing career.
