Dylan Hernández: Canelo Álvarez crossed a line many fighters have before in loss to Dmitry Bivol

The evidence of the destruction was in the redness of Canelo Álvarez's head.

More than Álvarez's trademark hair was crimson. Álvarez's face was also a shade of canelo — or cinnamon.

Don't give any credence to Álvarez's claim that he thought he beat Dmitry Bivol on Saturday night. Ignore the three official scorecards, on which Bivol narrowly edged Álvarez, 115-113. The fight wasn't close.
