Round 1: Beevol was incredibly active with the jab, his best weapon. He pumped the range-finder in Alvarez's face over and over. Canelo unleashed a lot of right hands, but nothing impactful. 10-9, Beevol. Round 2: Big Beevol round! He scored with a bundle of three- and four-punch combinations. Haven't seen Canelo this frustrated in a long time. Alvarez's face already red from Beevol's jab. He rebounded nicely down the stretch with powerful right hand followed by a left hook to the body. 10-9, Beevol. 20-18, Beevol. Round 3: Beevol the far cleaner puncher. He continues to find success at range with the jab, and he's reeling off combos that meet the mark. Alvarez doing great work on the inside but hasn't been able to sustain. Close round. 10-9, Beevol. 30-27, Beevol. Round 4: Canelo pressing hard but Beevol catching most of the shots on the gloves. Finally, in the closing seconds of the frame, Alvarez broke through with a big right uppercut. Another close round. 10-9, Canelo. 39-37, Beevol. Round 5: Clear Beevol round. He pinned Alvarez on the ropes around the midway point and unloaded with about six or seven shots, though Alvarez evaded many. Alvarez hasn't faced adversity like this since the Gennadiy Golovkin rematch. 10-9, Bivol. 49-46, Beevol. Round 6: Most uneventful round of the fight so far, but Beevol remains in control. Alvarez needs to find an answer soon. The boxing acumen, footwork and size of Beevol proving to be a formidable challenge. 10-9, Bivol. 59-55, Beevol. Round 7: Beevol continues to be the ring general. He's pushing Canelo backward and his movement is giving Alvarez fits. Alvarez needs to land something big to change this fight. 10-9, Beevol. 69-64, Beevol. Round 8: Bivol isn't just outboxing Canelo -- he's outfighting him. Throwing his size around on the inside now, creating some space with pushes. Is the upset in the air? Wild scene in Las Vegas through eight. 10-9, Bivol. 79-73, Beevol. Round 9: Alvarez finally wins a round. He was able to press Beevol on the ropes and landed a couple of solid body shots as the crowd roared, seemingly trying to cheer him to victory. 10-9, Canelo. 88-83, Beevol. Round 10: Canelo's body language isn't great, and his output is dipping. Beevol looks fresh and continues to use his legs and jab to outbox Canelo. Alvarez running out of time. 10-9, Bivol. 98-92, Beevol. Round 11: Biggest round of the fight for Beevol, who blasts Alvarez with a bundle of power shots. Alvarez doesn't have much on these punches anymore. One more round for the major upset ... assuming judges agree. 10-9, Bivol. 108-101, Bivol. Round 12: Bivol closes the show with another clear round to cement what should be a clear victory in a major upset. Alvarez wasn't all that competitive with Bivol. Hopefully the judges get this right. 10-9, Bivol. 118-110, Bivol. All three judges scored the fight 115-113, but the bout wasn't nearly that close. Bivol was in control from the opening bell as he used his superior size, range and jab to retain his light heavyweight title. "I prove myself today, I'm the best [in my division]," said Bivol, who resides in Russia. "Eddie Hearn, sorry I broke your plans with Gennadiy Golovkin." Bivol was referring to the planned trilogy fight between Canelo and Golovkin slated for Sept. 17. Instead, Alvarez said he plans to exercise his contractual right to an immediate rematch.
