Beterbiev v Bivol 2 - The greatest Boxing card ever!

floyd schofield didn't show up for the grand arrivals

[The Six Four]

Stevenson's momentum is at an all-time low, and at this point, they might as well cancel his fight rather than scramble for a last-minute replacement. Rumors are swirling—everything from possible poisoning to weight-cutting struggles to the BBBoC blocking Schofield from competing. Just another wild day in the unpredictable world of boxing.

If the fight does get canceled, hopefully, that means the full card won’t drag on for too long. But knowing how these events go, they'll probably fill the gap with a live performance—when all fans really want is more action in the ring.

I hate the "entertainment" before the main event.

Padley is unbeaten and getting the opportunity after beating one of Turki's favourite boxer's Chamberlain. Hope he makes good money for this contest.

That would be a shame, Parker looks huge and confident.

What are predictions from other posters? Primo?

Bivol Pts possibly SD
Dubois/Parker looks like it’s off
Stevenson RSF 8
Sheeraz UD
Ortiz Jr TKO 11 - Great fight!
Zhang TKO 8
Smith Pts. Not confident on this one. Used to big on Smith , but disappointed in him lately. Especially the old “I don’t want to make excuses,but……..and then roll off a load of excuses”

Joseph Parker’s Warrior Mentality on Full Display

The sheer guts of Joseph Parker. He stepped in as the underdog against both Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, defying expectations each time. Now, with just two days’ notice, he had every reason to take an easier fight. But instead, he’s accepted the so-called boogeyman of the division, Martin Bakole, as a replacement opponent—an incredibly bold move.

Credit must also go to Bakole, who wasted no time putting his hand up for the fight. He’s now on his way to Riyadh, ready to step into the ring on short notice. Parker, meanwhile, has to adjust to a new opponent at the last minute and deal with the disappointment of no longer fighting for a world title. On the other hand, Bakole faces the challenges of limited preparation, jet lag, and going up against a fully prepared Parker.

Given the circumstances, I believe Parker will rise to the occasion once again, securing a unanimous decision victory.

I think Beterbiev cursed the card

He had to.

In exchange for him being injury-free for his second fight against Bivol. He travelled to the depths of the Russian Steppe to meet a wizard who let him sacrifice the health of the undercard supports for his own. It makes perfect sense. Thoughts?

Na seriously - BIG respect to Bakole for saving the card at the death. Props to Parker for accepting this fight. Most people don't even want to be in the same room as Bakole. Either that or he has the biggest balls in the world, or he really pissed someone off in the boxing world to be getting fed some of the most murderous hitters in the division. Bakole has been on role lately but to beat Parker on such short notice would be crazy impressive.

And the way Bakole and Billy Nelson (Bakole's mamager) jumped on this makes me think he's in great shape or he doesn't rate Parker to highly. I see Bakole destroying Parker.

[Master]

Bakole is a top replacement and is the most avoided heavyweight just hope he is in good condition to put up a good fight. We will tell a lot about him when he steps on the scale.

Is Joseph Parker coming in too heavy at 267 pounds?

At his heaviest recorded weight, Parker’s conditioning will be a key talking point heading into the fight. Will the extra size benefit him by adding durability and power, or could it slow him down and affect his mobility?
