Absolute world champion in super middleweight Saul Alvarez remembered his defeat to the owner of the WBA belt in the light heavyweight division to the Russian Dmitry Bivol. According to Canelo, he still considers himself better than Bivol, and lost because he was poorly prepared for the fight.
“I fought Bivol when I was in my prime. Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems during the training camp. I lost, but I will have a chance to win back in the near future. That's what I meant when I said that I lost in my prime.
The fight did not take place in my weight category, but I think that in a rematch I can easily win, but anything happens. I take it as a learning experience. I won the first five or six rounds, but then I got tired. That's what happened. He is no better than me.
I tell my little son, "It's not the end of the world when you lose." When you play sports, there is always a chance of winning or losing. It does not matter. It's not the end of the world. You need to keep moving forward, keep fighting and one day you will be the best,” Alvarez said.
Recall, on May 7, Alvarez lost to Bivol by unanimous decision.
