SPORTS UPDATE | Nalasap ni four-division champion Canelo Alvarez ang kanyang ikalawang talo sa kamay ni undefeated Russian pug Dmitry Bivol.

Umani ng 115-113 iskor mula sa tatlong judges si Bivol, ang kasalukuyang WBA light-heavyweight titlist, tungo sa unanimous decision victory kontra kay Alvarez.

Napanatili ring malinis ni Bivol ang kanyang professional fight record matapos umangat sa 20-0 (11 KOs) marka.

Hindi pinaporma ni Bivol si Alvarez sa likod ng kanyang impresibong opensiba upang malusutan ang depensa ng huli. (via Rodolfo Dacleson II, NCPH Contributor)
