Canelo was afraid of Bivol: David Faitelson insinuates that Saúl Álvarez chose to fight Golovkin so as not to face the Russian for the second time

After giving everything to Canelo on his social networks for gaining weight to access the category of the 175 pounds and lose against Dmitry Bivol, David Faitelson attacked the redhead again.

Even though his next fight will be at super middleweight, from which Faitelson said Álvarez should never have left, the communicator hinted at the boxer, insinuating that he was afraid of a second fight against Bivol and that is why he chose Gennady Golovkin as his rival.

“He turned Bivol around”, the ESPN analyst wrote, alluding to a Mexican expression that is equivalent to saying that he lacked the courage to face him and that he chose another option, which in this case was the fight against GGG, who has not defeated him on either of the two occasions he has faced him.

“El Canelo”, as we say colloquially, “turns Bivol on its head”. He will hardly fight again at 175 pounds…— David Faitelson (@Faitelson_ESPN) May 24, 2022

However, this time the communicator He only dedicated this tweet to the absolute champion of the super middleweights, unlike the day of the defeat against Dmitry Bivol and the subsequent ones, in which dozens of his publications were addressed to the man from Jalisco, highlighting that he “stained his legacy”, that “ all his defects came to light”, that “he must forget about the 175 pounds” and that “ he did not have enough skills to fight a true champion”, among many others.

“Canelo” should forget about the 175 pounds…

Cannot compete at that weight.
And when a boxer with abilities like Bivol shows up, what happens tonight happens…— David Faitelson ( @Faitelson_ESPN) May 8, 2022
