Daily Mail  

Canelo Alvarez has been mocked by a number of boxing fans, who joked the 'frustrated' Mexican wanted to body slam Dmitry Bivol during his one-sided title defeat on Saturday night in Las Vegas. A legacy-hungry Canelo, who blasted through the super-middleweight division to become the undisputed champion last year, ultimately fell short in his latest conquest, with all three judges scoring the bout 115-113 in Bivol's favour. Canelo Alvarez was beaten comprehensively by Russian Dmitry Bivol in Las Vegas Canelo's frustration was on show when he lofted Bivol onto his shoulders in the 11th round Canelo was supremely confident prior to the fight, already eyeing up a September showdown against Gennady Golovkin in an enticing trilogy bout and even talking up a heavyweight encounter against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk. A jubilant Bivol retained his WBA light-heavyweight belt with victory in Las Vegas Fans joked Canelo wanted to body slam Bivol, such was the one-sided nature of the fight The Mexican continually dropped his hands as if to beckon Bivol onto a big punch, but the fleet-footed Russian largely remained out of range and was untroubled throughout.
