I'll be watching from the safety of a bomb shelter

Winner has to fight Yarde.

During that time if Canelo beats Bivol (big if), he has GGG 3 in September.

Then if Canelo wins that, he will fight the winner of Beterbiev/Smith vs Yarde.

Bivol is No2 so it shouldn't be for the Ring, normally the ring belt is awarded for 1 vs 2.
It can be 1 vs 3 but you have to argue Bivol is refusing to fight Beterviev.

I understand that is how the rules are written. With that said, this will be Artur's third Ring top ten opponent in his last four fights. To include two unification fights with a Ring top three opponent.

I might attend this one. Then again... this fight might not last long-either way. Would hate to travel for A few rounds.. floor seats might be cheaper than usual... decisions decisions....

Going to fireworks, I got Beterbiev by brutal tko.

Joe won't make it past the fourth round. And you can take that to the bank, so place your bets.

[Monty Fisto]

Big fight, great they've made it. Have to go with Beterbiev. Tough as nails and hits like a hammer.

Beterbiev is a patient guy but if someone goes at him he figures a way to counter them. Also I don't see how you think he does not have a good chin because it looks like he can take a punch.

Jeff Paige Jr dropped him...btw im a Beterbiev fan, and have been since the Cloud fight. Saying he doesn't have 'the best chin' doesn't mean its glass, relax.

Because he’s the mandatory.
