“Alright Canelo Time to Fight Jake Paul” – Logan Paul, Terence Crawford, Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson, and Other Pros React to Dmitry Bivol’s Upset Victory Over Canelo Alvarez
Dmitry Bivol pulled out probably the biggest upset of boxing history. The Russian did what former champion Floyd Mayweather did years ago. Bivol sent a spark through the boxing world by retaining his WBA light heavyweight title by claiming a decision victory over the man, who will go down probably as one of the greatest boxers of all time.
As soon as the verdict of the fight came, it created a buzz across the social media platforms. Many could not believe the fact that Bivol stopped the pound-for-pound, who was probably unmatchable in the words of many before the bout.
The social media personality Jake Paul took to Twitter and wrote, “Canelo Alvarez loses badly to Dmitry Bivol.”

Rd 9: Bivol 10-9. The shots that Canelo landed to drop 160s and 168s aren’t really damaging Bivol, who was all over Canelo late that round. Bivol 5-4 #boxing #CaneloBivol
