00:00Will be my commands god bless you both touch up
00:10Can Canelo Alvarez continue to boldly go where no man has gone before
00:16Or is he about to run into a 175 pound stop sign in the undefeated
00:24light heavyweight champion of the world
00:27Dimitri people here we go
00:39Todd Grisham Chris Mannix Daniel Jacobs and Sergio Mora ringside
00:45What's the key here the first round Sergio first rounds to get past that jab that shotgun jab of people?
00:52How is he going to be able to break that distance that people keep so well?
00:56Canelo said he can't get off to a slow start, which he usually likes to do Daniel
01:01Why is that because Bibble is a puncher that throws shots and bunches. He has a large
01:09Arsenal that he uses but one of them being his punch count so Canelo can't start off short. It's slow because he'll be
01:16Backtracking and he's going to throw that jab a lot in his last fight
01:2176% of his punches were jabs talking to people's team this week
01:25They want to be unpredictable with the right hand
01:28They felt Kovalev was more too predictable when he tried to throw that they want to make Canelo thinking about that right hand for most
01:34of this fight
01:37Canelo trying to come around the guard the high guard of people right now with left and right hooks
01:44Tight guard being shown here by Canelo
01:48Same tight guard that he had in front of Kovalev
01:51Like Mannix said so that jab will be effective even if it's just touching those gloves
02:00People's never been down 11 k.o.s 19 wins
02:06Horse Canelo has never been knocked down either
02:10Left hand off the top of the head from
02:13There's that right hand stabbing jab downstairs. I want to see more body shots
02:21Canelo
02:32Canelo always finds a way around the guard. He had a little difficult time with Caleb Plante
02:37He finally found a right hook for the right hand to the gut
02:41To the right side to the left side of Plante's
02:44shoulder roll defense
02:46Chris is this we're gonna see is this gonna be the way b-ball fights every single round tonight
02:50You know, that's the sense I got from talking to his team
02:53They want to create the distance being Canelo and keep throwing that jab because when they watch back the Kovalev fight
02:59They know that Kovalev didn't hurt Canelo
03:02But that fight was close on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage because of the sheer volume of punches
03:08Jabs specifically that Kovalev was throwing look at him throwing more frequently here
03:13Around one a good start for b-ball
03:18People has better fundamentals and foundation than Kovalev in a life
03:22Yes, smart feet always aware of his positioning with his footwork
03:27But he has to gain the respect of Canelo because Canelo is just walking past it down his guards
03:32So we're off and running round two here between people and Canelo
03:39As expected b-ball has showered jabs on to Alvarez
03:45There's more of them
03:47Canelo doing a good job blocking those but they're always there Sergio. Yeah, but he hasn't let go of that right hand yet
03:52I want to see how Canelo is gonna react with the strength of that right hand
03:56Whether it's to the chin or to the body because people does throw a nice piercing right hand to the body as well
04:03So right at the end of the first round at the start of the second round
04:06Canelo trying to sneak that uppercut on the inside keep an eye on that
04:27There's a one-two for people
04:35There's an uppercut again that just misses you can hear the crowd respond to that
04:50People seems as if he's just trying to find what works for him. He's tapping them trying to find the ranch
04:55Trying to see what punches he can land comfortably
04:59Canelo defense is extremely tight. It's really hard to get past that high guard
05:04It really is that's what you got to be content with just touching those gloves take what you can
05:11And we saw Canelo Alvarez against Callum Smith constantly hit his arms
05:15Do you think Alvarez might try to do the same to be able to stop the jab?
05:19Yeah, that first round notice Canelo was landing to the left shoulder
05:23Maybe he wants to tire out those shoulders as well. Keep aiming at those biceps
05:37Whenever Canelo starts loading up, even if you block those shots, they're still gonna have an impact people's gonna find that out soon
05:53Oh
06:00People trying to be the boss
06:03And this is what people has to do even if he makes it a little bit ugly pushing them leaning on him
06:09He has to be aggressive. He has to make it uncomfortable for Canelo
06:13And Danny we talked about Canelo having such great power
06:16Is this more power than people is used to considering? He's the heavier fighter
06:20I would say so. Canelo is definitely a
06:23Jeff pack type of power fighter
06:25So his punches has a lot of thought behind them including speed. It's maybe a little bit different than what it was experienced before
06:39Well, Chris he wanted to fight a light heavyweight and Dimitri Bebo looks the part so far
06:44Yeah, Dimitri Bebo looks sharp in these early rounds
06:47He clearly has a good game plan and he is throwing that right hand a little bit more than I expected him to early on
06:57There's that right hand to the body that
06:59That's a sneaky power punch by people that sits up the right hand upstairs
07:04I want to see more punches like that for Canelo not not many opponents throw body shots at Canelo
07:09You can see when Bebo throws the one-twos like this he is scoring and these are bothering Canelo Daniel
07:16You can see the forehead of Canelo getting reddened as well
07:20So those jabs and those punches even though they're not a lot of power behind them, they're still having an effect
07:25That left goes around the guard of Bebo. He's keeping that hand up high because he has to
07:56Well, the game plan is pretty obvious for Bebo and so far it's been fairly successful
08:00Jabs, straight right hands, in bunches
08:04And stepping back, not giving Canelo a chance to break that range
08:08Maintain that distance, stay behind the jab
08:12Yeah, so he's stepping back with his hands up, which is a good thing
08:15You know, as in the last fight we've seen, the last fight he's stepping back with his hands down, it wasn't a good
08:21And how about Bebo coming back after Alvarez landed those right hands
08:25And that's why Bebo is going to be such a hard fight, not only because of the jab and the footwork
08:29But you're right, he pulls back with the hands up so it's hard to pierce those gloves
08:41There again a flurry from Bebo
08:44And it was a conversation for us all week long
08:47Can Bebo win a decision over Canelo?
08:50Watch your head!
08:51He can if he throws punches like this
08:59We've seen Canelo in the early stages of a fight
09:03Take his time and then start to figure out his opponent and wear him down
09:07Sergio, do you think he can do that against this bigger man?
09:10He's going to have a harder time doing it with Bebo
09:14Bebo's not going to stay against the ropes just like he did there
09:17He's always going to have the fight in the middle of the ring
09:19And Bebo is not loading up on punches as well
09:25We haven't seen a lot of fighters come after Canelo the way that Bebo has
09:33This is an excellent round for Dimitri Bebo
09:36Watch out! Watch out!
09:41So a good start for Dimitri Bebo as we begin round 4
09:50Canelo wanted to be challenged, Daniel
09:53He wanted to face the best of the best
09:55He's got a challenge tonight, doesn't he?
09:57Absolutely, but I'm wondering when we're going to see the power of Bebo
10:01As of now we've seen defense, we've seen speed, we've seen movement
10:05But we haven't seen that light heavyweight power that we know he has
10:09Chris Mannix, how do you have it scored through 3 rounds?
10:12I've got it 2 rounds to 1 in favor of Dimitri Bebo
10:15I think his combinations have been sharp, his jab has been active
10:19Both these guys are very good defensive fighters
10:22Both are keeping their guards up, catching a lot of these punches
10:25But Bebo, the volume has worked for him in the first 3 rounds
10:35I like that right hand
10:36Yeah, right hand to the body
10:38You don't see, as you mentioned, a lot of fighters go to Canelo's body
10:41Bebo is doing it here and going back upstairs as well
10:44Bebo's not much of a body puncher, but it's that right hand right there that does enough work
10:49And it sets up all the punches upstairs afterwards
10:54Bebo doing a pretty good job defending that right hand of Canelo
10:57Although it has scored at times
10:59Bebo doing a great job backing up, not letting Canelo plant his feet
11:04Staying off the ropes, just like that
11:06His back's touching the ropes, he's moving laterally
11:17According to CompuBox, Bebo has thrown 40 more punches than Alvarez so far
11:28Canelo sitting down on those right hands
11:31Canelo's been all power shots this round
11:34Canelo's been all power shots this round
11:50Is Canelo trying to bait Bebo into opening up a little bit?
11:53I think he is
11:54I believe he is, because he's not having no success backing up Bebo
11:57And trying to punch through the guard
11:59So now he's trying to play possum a little bit and try to get Bebo to get overconfident
12:05It's not going to happen, that's not his game plan, that's not Bebo's strategy
12:10Discipline is one of his strongest attributes
12:13Yes it is
12:16Now Canelo starting to come forward a little bit
12:29Massive uppercut thrown there from Alvarez
12:39Absolutely, it's been one of his hottest shots
12:43Leaving an impression too on Bebo
12:51Well I think through four full rounds it's pretty apparent that this is not going to be a walk in the park
12:56For Canelo Alvarez who's a 5-1 favorite according to the odd makers here in Vegas
13:04But we've seen this before with Canelo Alvarez
13:07Where he's biting his time
13:09Maybe even losing rounds or close rounds
13:11We've seen it with Caleb Plant, we've seen it with BJ Saunders
13:14And then in a flash he turns it on
13:27Last round it was Bebo who was coming forward
13:29Start of the fifth, it's Canelo
13:43There's a right hand again, the uppercut just misses
13:51Bebo not throwing back as much this round
13:53Bebo not throwing back as much this round
13:59Canelo is making a point to win this round and back up Bebo
14:02Make him feel his power
14:07Those are big right hooks, overhand rights being landed by Canelo
14:11Oh look at Bebo
14:14Look at him go, oh my word Bebo
14:18And Canelo wants more of it
14:24The crowd wants more of it too
14:31Is that frustration for Canelo?
14:33No I just think that's discipline by Bebo
14:35I mean he landed his shots, got the crowd going
14:37Landed his points, then he went back in control
14:40That's what he does so well, he stays in control
14:44No emotion from Bebo, he's a boxing robot in there
14:48No emotion from Bebo, he's a boxing robot in there
14:56And that's what you need when you're fighting Canelo
14:58You need that discipline, you don't fight with emotion
15:01You fight with intelligence
15:03That's what Demetri Bebo is so great at
15:06What do you make of his demeanor so far Daniel?
15:09Bebo's demeanor to me seems as if he's just trying to weather the storm right now
15:13Because Canelo is putting on an onslaught
15:15And so maybe he's trying to just patiently wait
15:20Maybe let Canelo die down a few
15:22But ultimately his movement is still apparent
15:25And so as long as he can stay moving like this
15:27He can stay in this fight
15:30Another good jab and then a left from Bebo
15:36Who started out slow in this round but finished strong
15:40They were, and Bebo's overall activity has dipped the last couple of rounds
15:45But that flurry right there might have been his most effective one of the night
15:50And Canelo claimed to want more of it as he tried to wave Bebo back in
15:53But Bebo not having it
15:55And the reason Canelo couldn't counter that onslaught and that combination
15:59Is because Bebo wasn't loading up, he was just turning his waist and shoulders
16:10Finishing off with a straight right hand is Bebo and again he connects
16:16Very impressive stuff by Bebo
16:26Canelo trying to land the right hand again
16:30Let's see if he goes back to the uppercut that was successful early on in this fight
16:34There is one
16:36Anytime Bebo's back hits the ropes he gets right in the center of the ring
16:39That's ring generalship and that's the reason Canelo's having a hard time
16:42Pinning down Demetri Bebo
16:48I think Canelo's gonna have to be content with hitting shoulders, arms and forearms in this fight
16:53Because Bebo, his defense is too tight, the forearms too good
16:58Chris is this the type of fight you thought we'd see in the 6th round?
17:01Well I expected this much activity
17:03I didn't expect this many combinations and really the comfort level
17:07We spoke a lot before this fight but would the flights in the moment be too big
17:11For Demetri Bebo at this point? Absolutely not
17:14He seems unaffected by everything as we check in with Sean Porter
17:18Listen, Demetri Bebo supporters hang on
17:22I do have him losing this fight 2 rounds to 3
17:25But what I'm seeing from him, I'm gonna mimic what Sergio Mora said
17:28Control, discipline, intelligence, hang on because this fight might get tight
17:33The way that Bebo is performing right now
17:36It's already tight I would say
17:38Here in round 6, 50 seconds to go
17:40It could be 3-2 either way
17:48Canelo content to lay against the ropes, hoping he can counter Bebo
17:53Canelo content to lay against the ropes, hoping he can counter Bebo
17:57Bebo looking right at the chest of Canelo
17:59You asked earlier Todd, if you look at a person's eyes or chest
18:02Bebo's looking straight at the chest
18:05And he's looking to set this right hand up
18:08Came around the guard with a left hook right there
18:11I love the punch selection by Bebo right now
18:14Just like Canelo, he's looking for an opening to land something big as well
18:18Total focus
18:23Time!
18:34Time!
18:35Fatigue right now on Canelo
18:37I don't see much fatigue, I see Canelo coming forward
18:40But I do start to see Canelo's face starting to take some shots
18:43Starting to sweat up a little bit
18:45Start to see a little bit of red here and there
18:47From Bebo staying as sharp as he is
18:50I see the same thing and I might even throw a little frustration on Canelo's part
18:55If you look both at their faces, Bebo's the one that looks calm and collected
18:58With a poker face, Canelo's showing a little bit of frustration
19:03We know Canelo can turn things around in a snap
19:10The fight against Sergey Kovalev, as we talked about earlier
19:13Was very close until Canelo changed everything in a hurry
19:16Getting the knockout victory
19:18Now this fight is resembling more of a Caleb Plant fight, I believe
19:22Because Plant, you know, he was having his moments
19:25And a lot of close rounds as well
19:28Let's take a look at our CompuBox numbers
19:30As Bebo throws a few jabs
19:32Punches landed in the last round
19:34Bebo 13 compared to 6 for Alvarez
19:43There you go, see?
19:44Aiming at that arm
19:46The left arm of Bebo now, it's ready
19:48And that's exactly the game plan that Canelo had against Callum Smith
19:52Do you think this strategy will work against Canelo?
19:55Bebo, excuse me
19:56Trying to break him down, his arms, all these different things
19:59Do you think that'll work?
20:00You know what?
20:01We're gonna find out, Daniel
20:02Because right now he has to be satisfied hitting something
20:05Good
20:15I like that right hook to the body right there
20:19Instead of punching straight at the arm
20:21Just dig down to the left side of the body of Bebo
20:24Let's check in with Chris Mannix who's in the corner of Bebo
20:27Joel, how do you think Demetri's doing out there?
20:29He's doing great, to me he's winning the fight
20:31Canelo's not landing anything clean
20:33The cleanest shots, Demetri's been landing them
20:36Canelo tries to throw, but Demetri's been landing most of the shots
20:39And he's a busier guy
20:41Was this part of the game plan, the entire game plan coming in?
20:44Exactly
20:45See, he's blocking every punch
20:47He's landing like four punches in a row
20:50Thanks, Joel
20:51I think Joel's trying to yell so the judges can hear
20:54Look, he's hitting him four times in a row, see?
20:56Canelo's doing nothing
20:57No, man, I agree with Joel
20:58This could be 3-3-4-2
21:00Bebo looks like he's following the game plan a little bit better than Canelo
21:04That's what I'm talking about with the frustration
21:11One thing I've noticed, too, is how Bebo is able to take the shots of people
21:15Even the arm shots, even the close shots, the shots that graze him
21:19He's able to almost seem as if he's not bothered
21:21And that's because he's been in with big, destructive punches
21:24Like Joe Smith and others
21:28Bruising and redness on the face of Canelo Alvarez
21:33Bebo looks much better, at least physically, right now
21:40Just a moment ago, both of you said, hey, this could be tied
21:43Maybe Bebo will buy a round
21:44There's some that probably say, wait a minute, Bebo's probably winning this
21:476-1-5-2
21:49I wouldn't go that far either, but yeah, it's a close fight
21:52And now we edge out Bebo
21:53Let's see what Chris Mannix thinks
21:55I've got 68-65 in favor of Dmitry Bebo
21:58That jab is being used flawlessly as a weapon
22:02Bebo is throwing combinations
22:04He's landing, he's having more success landing punches
22:07Than really anyone I've seen since Gennady Golovkin
22:10Back in 2017-18
22:11And he just did so there
22:13It's the 1-2 combination for Bebo
22:16And it's been finding its mark most of the night
22:18Anybody that will tell you how Bebo will win this fight
22:21This is how he'll do it
22:22With the 1-2's, backing Canelo up
22:25Moving in circles, staying off the ropes
22:27Bebo is doing exactly what he needs to do to win this fight
22:32Jess McCaskill, how do you have it?
22:34I think Bebo is really pulling it off here
22:37The copyrights numbers say it all
22:38It's not just that Bebo is giving us great combinations
22:41But he's stopping Canelo from throwing
22:44So if Canelo doesn't have an output, he's not going to dominate this fight
22:48Look at that left hook from Bebo
22:50Who's now pushing forward like he hasn't done in a while
22:53And the Russian is bullying Canelo
22:56Against the ropes, pushing him, punching at him
22:58Not giving up, not stepping back
23:01Yeah, it seems as if the tide has switched for me
23:07How about this?
23:08Bebo has landed double-digit punches in every single round
23:12Canelo has not landed double-digit punches in any round
23:20Canelo!
23:35Canelo missed
23:36Right hand!
23:37Canelo missed three punches
23:40Fell off balance, went back to the ropes
23:42He wants to bait Bebo to make a mistake
23:45Bebo's not giving him that mistake
23:47All the while, Bebo is scoring with these counters
23:50So Canelo needs to come forward
23:52And do what he's been doing the first half of this fight
23:59It's the biggest moment of Dimitri Bebo's career
24:02And he has risen to the occasion this fall
24:10Let him go! Stop!
24:11No, no, no, no
24:13No!
24:16Stop!
24:17Don't push him down
24:18No, don't push him down
24:20Daniel, would you like to see more body work from Canelo?
24:23I just would like to see Canelo throw more punches
24:26I feel like, because he's down right now
24:29And he's fighting in these spurts, he shouldn't do it
24:31He should continuously, even if it's not hard shots
24:33Just let your hands go a little bit more
24:36Canelo, you can see, jogging around the ring
24:38Trying to get some life, perhaps, back in his legs
24:43Some concern from Eddie Reynoso
24:46There has been concern in that corner the last three rounds
24:49And there's a little concern in the eyes of Canelo as well
24:52Jumping off that stool, trying to liven his legs up
24:55Well, this is a better start for sure
24:58Come on!
25:07Has Canelo finally met his match?
25:14The live odds, believe it or not, still have Canelo as the favourite
25:18Bookmakers think Canelo's gonna turn the heat up here
25:21Over the last few rounds
25:23that it's hard to win a decision against Canelo in Vegas.
25:26Golovkin came up short twice.
25:29A lot of people felt Caleb Plant was having success.
25:31The judges disagree.
25:33Even Floyd Mayweather, if I had one judge, had a draw.
25:36Exactly.
25:38♪
25:43Let's check in with Chris Maddox.
25:45You know, Todd, one thing about Canelo,
25:47having watched and scored a lot of his fights lately,
25:51he's often a very easy fighter to score for.
25:53His punches are often clean,
25:55but Dmitry Bivol's defense has been excellent.
25:57He is overwhelming Canelo
25:59with the sheer volume of his punches.
26:02This is just an incredibly difficult fight Canelo's in.
26:05He hasn't figured out a way to get to Dmitry Bivol.
26:08But Bivol has found a way to get to Canelo.
26:11And the reason he's finding a way
26:12is because it's his footwork.
26:14He doesn't smother himself coming in,
26:16and then when Canelo wants to attack,
26:17he bounces back, steps back, still punching.
26:20Now it's starting to look to me
26:21that Canelo bit off just a little bit more
26:23than he can chew.
26:25♪
26:29This is the second foray
26:30into light heavyweight division for Canelo.
26:32He knocked out Kovalov,
26:33and he may have to do the same to Bivol
26:36if things continue like this.
26:38Bivol's a natural light heavyweight,
26:39so putting his earmuff defense on
26:42is good enough for him because he's that strong.
26:45The crowd roaring their approval for Alvarez.
26:48Canelo's going to have to do something about it.
26:51Canelo's going to have to do something about it.
26:53At this point, Canelo's not going to pierce that guard.
26:56Bivol is already accustomed to that power.
26:59Bivol, it's time!
27:01Bivol, it's time!
27:03Bivol, it's time!
27:05Bivol, it's time!
27:0830 seconds, Bivol!
27:11Bivol, it's time!
27:13As you can hear, Dmitry Bivol's corner
27:15screaming at him, 30 seconds.
27:17Well, this is a much better round for Canelo.
27:21And that's why they're screaming at Bivol to work.
27:24Nothing's really landed,
27:26but Canelo's definitely punching more
27:28and punching at the guard of Bivol,
27:29which is what he's going to have to do to win these rounds.
27:38As we enter the home stretch here in Las Vegas,
27:40let's see if the crowd can rally Canelo here in the tent.
27:47Let's see if the crowd can rally Canelo here in the tent.
27:57Three rounds to go.
27:59Bivol having the performance of his life so far.
28:03Push.
28:06Ooh, Jack.
28:07Push.
28:09And Sergio Bivol just doesn't even look too bothered,
28:11does he?
28:12He's just calm.
28:14He's calm and relaxed, and that's the reason
28:15He's having so much success and then goes back to that power jab. He gets his work slip working pulls out with his footwork
28:22Pops him with that jab. We asked people during the fighter meetings. Do you think you can win a decision in Las Vegas?
28:29He said, you know what if I feel like I won that'll be good enough for me. I don't worry about the judges
28:34Not sure he would feel that way right now
28:37But we shall see and look at the punches through round nine my word 110 to 61
28:46Oh
28:50Chris are you surprised by what you're seeing?
28:53I'm very surprised to be true people start to finish has had a really effective game plan in Canelo Alvarez
28:59One of the smarter fighters in all of boxing who often has a plan B a plan C
29:05When coming into fights has not figured out how to get to meet three people and meet three people
29:11Frankly looks like the fresher fighter as we're halfway through the 10th round
29:16Well, Canelo told us how much respect he had for people and told us how good he thought people is
29:22Canela was right
29:24top this looks
29:26In many ways like the first go off get fired where Canelo's fighting off the ropes off his back foot a lot
29:32He managed to come away with a disputed draw in that fight, but people he looks like he's winning
29:37Counter right hand snaps the jaw
29:40I
29:42Doesn't look like he's winning. He's winning this fight
29:45Daniel what should Canelo be doing differently? I feel like Canelo should be taking a little bit more seriously
29:50It's good to slip punches. It's good to look good defensively
29:53But when you're down and I feel like he knows it's a large possibility. He may be down
29:59He got to do something better. He got to step it up. I think this is a fight where Canelo's heavy feet
30:04I mean, it's it benefits him to keep his feet behind it because he's so explosive
30:08But when you're dealing with a technician with good footwork like people you're gonna have to step up here
30:16Well Canelo is chasing greatness by being in this division and he's gonna have to be great the rest of the way to win this
30:35Does
30:41Canelo have more magic in him
30:48The pound-for-pound king
30:50And
31:00You know trying to get inside and work
31:03Let's check it with Jessica McCaskill. We are seeing some major fatigue here from Canelo
31:07We see his arms up in the corner between rounds that usually shows that the fighters fatigue. I don't know if it's the vegan diet
31:14I don't know if it's the pressure that people is putting on and you come up obviously coming up a weight class
31:19But people looks very unbothered. He's even getting closer to Canelo here letting himself be in Canelo's range
31:26Maybe because he's seeing less of kind of power from Canelo
31:30right hand scores for people
31:35Let's check in with Chris Maddox a scorecard
31:38Yeah, I've got to meet three people in complete control despite at the moment 97 93 on my scorecard
31:45Alvarez will either need a couple of knockdowns or knockout to win this fight
31:51Mannix
31:52How does the judges panel look here tonight? Are you confident? They'll get it, right? I'll say this
31:57It's one of the best judging panels. You can ask for a tip cheat of Dave already Steve Weiss
32:03Go do I consider the gold standard when it comes to boxing judges?
32:07These are the best some of the best of the best in all the boxing
32:10Canelo
32:13Only one man has been Canelo Alvarez. That's a great Floyd Mayweather jr. He did it by fighting Canelo
32:21On his turn. That's what people is doing right now. He fights him when he wants but he boxes more often stepping back
32:30Staying in control not giving up
32:34Yeah, he's frustrated
32:36The acts like this Canelo is definitely frustrated
32:41He's been frustrated
32:47Everyone thinks that it takes brute strength to beat a blue puncher, but it takes finesse and a game plan and technique
32:54And a strategy and discipline, which is what people has been doing this entire fight
33:00Can you imagine if people can knock out Alvarez?
33:04It appears he might be going for it. He's going for it, but I don't think he's landing anything's big. He's just
33:10pushing back and
33:17I've never seen Canelo with this type of body language
33:21People is doing what he always does he fights within himself. He doesn't get out of character
33:28There's a right hand that splits the guard for Canelo
33:41Coming up, you clearly dominated the whole fight. You need to close the show in dramatic fashion
33:48Can Bebo
33:50Write his name
33:52in the books
33:53Daniel I think he's in control right now
33:56He should just stay behind that beautiful jab not take any more chances
34:00He did exactly what he needs to do to be in his position in this last and final round
34:05But if history repeats itself
34:07He must know it's better to close the show than to have
34:11some fool
34:14And that's the way we're seeing the fight, but who knows what the judges are seeing I
34:20Think it's safe to say though that Canelo has to win the 12th round
34:27Bruising body attack here from Canelo
34:29But it's being brought up evil is accustomed to that power and he's strong. He's a natural light heavyweight
34:35Those punches are not having any effect on people
34:42Was people just too big and just too strong
34:48Who's trying to unify another division too big too strong and most importantly too smart
34:54And he's a bigger guy it's almost very nerve-wracking for Canelo last round
34:59But you know, I thought you know, look at it the one of those shots could have went down very strong check from Canelo
35:04Canelo has fought 18 different world champions only Floyd Mayweather has beaten him
35:10Bebo has only faced two world champions
35:13He's in a very good shape. He's in a very good shape. He's in a very good shape
35:17He's in a very good shape. He's in a very good shape
35:19He's in a very good shape. He's in a very good shape
35:21He's only faced two world champions, he's in a position to beat the champion of the world
35:40A minute to go
35:52Right hand for Canelo
36:04Canelo is known to take on big challenges fighting the best. He might have bit off too much than he could chew here tonight
36:11I've never seen Canelo this fatigued in a fight before
36:18Uppercut block this time
36:21Canelo
36:27Did we underestimate Dimitri Bebo
36:32Canelo Alvarez was a big favorite in the biggest fight of the year
36:37But Bebo showed up and showed out
36:41And may have just beaten the pad for Penalty
36:45Ladies and gentlemen after 12 rounds of action here in Las Vegas
36:50We go to the judges scorecards
36:54Tim Cheatham, Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld
36:59All scored this bout identically
37:02115 to 113 for your winner by unanimous decision
37:10He's still undefeated and still the WBA heavyweight champion of the world
37:18Dimitri Bebo
37:23He has done it
37:25Not many believed in him
37:27He believed in himself
37:29Pulled off the performance of the lifetime
37:32And beat a man that will go down as one of the greatest fighters ever
37:48You
