Round 6
Bivol is fighting an excellent fight. He’s keeping Canelo at bay with deft footwork, ring intelligence and sheer size, not making the mistakes that Canelo lives to exploit. But his output has gone down in this round and Álvarez has done just enough to take the sixth, mostly with his defense. According to Compubox’s punch statistics, he’s landed 71 of 316 punches (24%), compared to 40 of 248 for Canelo (16%).
