Eddy Reynoso’s “Last F*ck*ng Round” Advice to Canelo Alvarez Before Dmitry Bivol Upset Will Shock You
The boxing world bore witness to one of the biggest upsets of the year as Dmitry Bivol put on a masterclass.
Four-division champion Canelo Alvarez succumbed to defeat against the WBA light heavyweight champion and suffered just his second career setback in 61 fights.
The heavyweight main event was a sight to behold. However, a few days after the fight, some behind-the-scenes moments have come to light.
Alvarez’s trusted coach and trainer had his job cut out for him during the light heavyweight bout.
Consequently, in a video posted by Matchroom Boxing on Twitter, fans could get a closer look at what happened before the last round.
Reynoso started the pep talk by asking the fighter how he was feeling. Alvarez replied he was feeling good, but also a little tired.
Surprisingly Reynoso proceeded to tell Alvarez he can’t stop Bivol. He stated, “It’s the last f****** round!… He’s heavier than you, and you can’t knock him out now.”
This comes as a shock because Alvarez is a world-renowned knockout specialist. Finally, seconds before the bell, Reynoso reminded Alvarez about the crucial minutes of the round.
He said, “Three f****** minutes, use them well, ok?” Although, the result didn’t go the way Alvarez wanted it to go.
