Bart, hope you made it off the water in time for the fight. Started 15 minutes earlier than I thought.

Plant had his moments, and one could argue that the fight was in the balance before the KO.

Sorry you didn't make it for the actual fight.  Who do you think has the best chance of beating Canelo?  Beterbiev or Bivol at light heavy?
