    What Beterbiev does between the ropes, total monster. What happens between fights and leading up to fights I find suspect to say the least. Getting stronger/better at 40. Routinely needing two bites of the cherry to get through a training camp and fight. The ridiculous ambiguity of the 'atypical' finding which is still a fucking mystery to me. It all sounds a bit off to me. Don't get me started on him looking like Non.

We want to see all the best matchups now. Which of course is what makes us an endearing group.

    I find this matchup refreshing. Here are two top-notch fighters putting it all on the line against one another. No DIVA shenanigans. No stupid clauses, no A-side bullshit... I think everyone here knows where I'm going with this

    ... but I won't.

    Still, I'm glad it's finally happening, and it has the makings of one of the best fights of the decade.
    Both Beterbiev and Bivol have been full champions at 175 since Nov. '17. Beterbiev defeated Oleksandr Gvozdyk in late 2019 and Canelo Alvarez got in the way with the WBO belt and the Kovalev fight, leaving Beterbiev to snap it up from Joe Smith. Beterbiev's injuries are frequent and he might be more shopworn than we think. There are many to blame for this fight not happening before now but I feel it should have happened in late 2022 if not before then.

    I see your points on Beterbiev, and it's true the fight could've occurred a bit earlier. But comparing it to Floyd-Pac is a humongous reach. People had been clamoring for that fight for years, and when it finally happened, both (particularly Pacquiao) were way past their peaks. Pac had even already been "planked" by JMM. The fight itself was a mere empty shell of what it could've been years earlier, a total letdown. No way Bivol-Beterbiev, even at this relatively late date, drops that far down from the anticipated hype.

    Man I swear I try to be positive with the two last major cards announced...but . When we're talking Turki "saving boxing" everything but the main event there are basically showcases. These are PPV cards we're talking . The Wardley v Clarke rematch is good but belongs in the UK. And why are two world champions not facing top ranked challengers? Just tune ups. Might have been smart to have a huge match as co main given there are still some speculations about Beterbiev-Bivol being exactly 100 percent certain. Chief support fight etc. But let's not jinx it...the main event WILL happen no worries

    Beterbiev lives, eats and breaths boxing. He has no vices. His body is a temple even at the age of 40.

    Looks like they're doing the gimmicky dual platforms thing. The entire undercard will be on Dazn PPV and the main event itself is on ESPN+...I'm assuming "free" to subscribers. Why they think this is fan friendly and will actually increase buys I have no idea. More likely to just skip the showcase fights on undercard and just wait for the Bivol v Beterbiev unification elsewhere. Shakur Stevenson as basically a PPV main eventer in what is honestly a tune-up fight . Yeh, that will do blockbuster numbers.

    There's no way they can put an added ppv fee on this card now. It felt off when fans realized Shakur was going to be the ppv "Main event", but Dazn kept billing it Bivol vs Beterbiev. You did not and do not need Dazn to watch that mega fight on Espn+. Shady promotion works tbh.
