The Mexican ‘Canelo’ Álvarez falls to the Russian Bivol, second defeat of his career

Mexican Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez, one of the great stars of boxing today, suffered the second loss of his career on Saturday night by losing a unanimous decision to Russian Dmitry Bivol, who retained his WBA light heavyweight belt.

The undefeated Bivol dominated Álvarez from the beginning of the fight in front of the astonished 20,000 fans at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Nevada, United States), who had come to cheer on ‘Canelo’ as part of the Mexican holiday on May 5. May.

Bivol, who jumped into the ring without an anthem or a Russian flag as a sanction for the invasion of Ukraine, is the second fighter to beat “Canelo” in his 61 fights, after the legendary Floyd Mayweather in 2013.
