Dmitry Bivol’s victory fell like a big bucket of cold water for Canelo’s followers
. Saúl Álvarez was used to achieving one achievement after another in the last years of his career. The Mexican is rated as one of the best boxers in the world , but the Russian boxer gave him a break to his glory. In this sense, José Benavidez made firewood from the fallen tree and sentenced the Guadalajara race.
“ I think this is the end of Canelo. The era of Canelo is already coming to an end. It’s already over”, José Benavidez sentenced in an interview with Izquierdazo.
Dmitry Bivol proved to have a great character and authority inside the ring. The Russian’s strategy led him to win a fight that looked very uphill
, but he dominated for much of the rounds. Benavidez believes that young boxers are making their way into the world of boxing.
“ The era of Canelo is already coming to an end. I dare to say that we all reached that moment. The new era is coming with young people with hunger and a lot of talent ”, expressed the coach in reference to Bivol.
Canelo tired in the ring
Dmitry Bivol assured that noticed a certain exhaustion of the Tapatio inside the ring . Along the same lines, José Benavidez considers that age is beginning to take its toll on Saúl Álvarez and this was one of the factors that, in his opinion, was noticeable in the combat and gave victory to the Russian.
“I think the body is no longer responding to it, age. He is no longer the same. It has had wars, battles and in my opinion the body is already tired of so many wars (…) it had its moment, but everyone reaches a moment in which you finish ”, he concluded.
