It is what it is.
Beterbiev is the only real fight left for him in this division.
He already beat Pascal, Barrera and Smith jr.
He will fight what he gets while waiting on Beterbiev -Smith jr winner.

I’d understand if he had a mandatory like this forced upon him, but it’s not.
why plan such a terrible fight 5 months in advance?
id even forgive it if he wanted the fight in 6 or 7 weeks time to get another fight in after the Richards fight, as he’s been so inactive for 2 years.

On it's own it's ok. I liked that tournament and bolotniks earned a good fight (I would have preferred a fight vs buatsi, yards, johnson, Arthur though).
But bivols last three opponents would then be castillo, Richards and bolotniks, which is pretty poor.

Gotta love Boxrec rankings too. This guy is 18-5-1 with only 7 fights being at LHW (most of career at Cruiser) all 7 of those fights being against journeymen, and somehow they have him ranked 10th
As for BoxRec, they have Hart at #3 which is ****ing ridiculous.
I feel like Bivol is a victim of his own success. He just has to wait for Beterbiev/Smith Jr. and Jack/Pascal 2 and keep winning in the meantime. The only issue I have with the proposed Bolotniks match-up is the date. This should be happening way earlier than September.Last edited by kiaba360; 05-11-2021, 04:55 PM.
