One thing there is no denying is that the good fights are getting made. And Turki’s idea of Warren’s 5 best v Hearn’s is genius because they ain’t gonna serve up no dead ducks.Quote:

Apparently their first event outside Saudi is Terence Crawford challenging for the WBA Light Middleweight title.
yeah bud's fight is supposed to be announced next week for la. turki is apparently in ny & is looking to work with the pbc. andy ruiz could be on bud's undercard. it would be great to get other promotors involved in the five v five. pbc, golden boy, matchroom, queensbury, top rankQuote:

Beterbiev is getting old and delayed his last fight against Smith before beating him. Hope he does the same thing and gets himself right and beats Bivol.
artur's injuries leading to a fight being postponed seems to be the normQuote:

Two humble elite fully prepped to lay all cards on the table for sport is rare today. Replacement opponent for Bivol will be interesting.
One Malik Zinad 22-0 from Libya is in at the replacement :-X. He shot from #14 to #2 last month in an ibf eliminator. Good ol ibf with the constant "vacant" top slots.
It's already been over 6 years since Beterbiev & Bivol have been champions in the same division together at the same time :eek:
Why not make it 7 years ;D
Beterbiev's inactivity & injuries are hurting his legacy :-\
Beterbiev has a better legacy than Bivol at the weight. I would rather see a fully fit Artur fight than him taking on anyone half fit. That would be cheating the fans of a historic event in boxing.Quote:
