Thread: Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol

Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol in discussions for August

Good. This is a fight that needs to happen.

Seems too logical for boxing, but fingers crossed.

Great fight if it comes off.

Yes please and here take my money. Exactly what boxing and 175 needs. I think Beterbiev has really upped his game and tops Bivol.

Beterbiev winning would have to mean Canelo would be forced to fight him, right?

Safe to say we're well beyond the point of Canelo being forced to do anything. He'll just sit on the sideline and let the best hungry fresh fighters sort it out while Hearn chats up BJS and Murata

I think exactly the same; Beterbiev is the hell of a beast, is you ask me and he has all the tools, from technique to power to take that one out.

This has to be up there as one of the best fights that can be made currently.

I was pretty big on Bivol for a while and thought he may have been the best of those 175lbs guys but Beterbiev is a monster. Would probably favour him now.
