Bivol v Beterbiev next!

[Primo Carnera]

It's a great fight. Don't want to say anything to jinx it just hope it delivers on it's potential. Telling that this feels like such a treat, rather than a natural fight to make that hits all the right notes. Don't want to sound like an old fart but it says a lot about this era.

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.
I worry about the long term future of Boxing if and when the Saudis get bored, but fights are getting made.
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 rank

Bummer. The good thing is that there are a lot of decent opponents already in training camp that could step in against Bivol.

[Master]

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 norm

[Spicoli]

Sucks all around this one. I’m wondering if it’s full surgery and all things considered if Sept is being a bit optimistic tbh. Recovery at 40 and mobile style opponent etc, does Beterbiev march right back into the mega match legit 100 percent or need a quickie feel out first. Feel bad for both of these fighters. Two humble elite fully prepped to lay all cards on the table for sport is rare today. Replacement opponent for Bivol will be interesting.

[Spicoli]

One Malik Zinad 22-0 from Libya is in at the replacement . 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
Why not make it 7 years
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.

Debatable I would say. Not much in it really.
