Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the suit might pave the way for a settlement deal that includes a bargain for a rematch. The gain round between Garcia as well as Haney is actually just extremely big to avoid, for both the boxers and the sport.There's the immense controversy observing Garcia's beneficial exam as well as succeeding 1 year ban. Haney claims the PEDs caused Garcia's shocking performance, alongside the simple fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds over weight.

Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch should Bivol win upcoming full week. And also why certainly not? Canelo was a primary favorite against his previous 4 rivals and also has actually been largely criticized for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a chosen underdog. Bivol directed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, in spite of the narrow directories.

This would certainly additionally be actually a heritage fight. Canelo would possess the odds to not merely become recognized champion at a second weight lesson, yet likewise vindicate the second reduction of his job (the other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to become viewed: Bivol's desire to fight Canelo again.

On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous enemies have entered the band with insecurity, influenced by the buzz encompassing the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers themself outside his convenience region, encountering an identified, ready challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's first battle against an unparalleled enemy, the concerns are high and he has whatever to get. The inquiry is, can he stay clear of acquiring knocked out early? Or even may he harm the champion early to gain respect?I believe Mikhailovich's relentless style could possibly impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, especially because Alimkhanuly has simply gone the total 12 rounds once in his profession. For Mikhailovich, enduring the very early rounds as well as taking the battle deep will certainly be essential.
