Mike Tyson gave insight Monday on why Canelo Alvarez was on the receiving end of a surprise loss to Dmitry Bivol over the weekend.

Bivol won the bout via unanimous decision. It was the first loss Alvarez had suffered since 2013 when he lost via majority decision. It was Alvarez’s first professional loss at the time. He had beaten almost everyone he stepped into the ring with aside from a draw against Gennadiy Golovkin.

Tyson said Alvarez should have thrown his jab harder.

"I just think if Canelo had used his jab effectively, hard, his opponent wouldn't have been able to come in," he said. "The guy [Bivol] was coming in because he wasn't worried about Canelo's jab. So, he got more aggressive, he got brave.

"If he's not jabbing, he has no defense. If he's not gonna jab, the guy's gonna walk right in on him like he did. Next fight, use your jab..."

Tyson added Alvarez should’ve been on his toes more and slipping Bivol’s punches.

"When [Bivol] was jabbing, Canelo should have been moving, slipping the jab, anticipating the combination. If he was slipping the jab, the guy wouldn't throw the combination," the former heavyweight champion said.
