Comments Thread For: Arum Expects Beterbiev-Smith Winner To Fight Anthony Yarde Next

[_Rexy_]

No. We want the winner versus Bivol.

Bivol apparently fighting Zurdo next.

Nice-Guy-Joe is an average/good LHW who had some luck getting a belt (should be Vlasov, but oh well...) ... Yarde is an average/good LHW who could beat Nice-Guy-Joe and that wouldn't be an upset... They're both average/good at best ...

That is is what I heard also
The plan was for Beterbiev and Bivol fighting the unification fight in Russia after they get through these opponents
I guess chit happens

[jockpunk]

you’re not wrong but I wouldn’t praise any current promotional brand as I don’t think any are continuously making the best fights available. Arum has squandered years of Crawford’s prime, he doesn’t seem to want to make a unification at lhw , and guess I’m still bitter about when he said Fk what fans want when Juanma vs Gamboa was the fight to make.

Fair enough. Can't disagree there.

Bob already made it clear that he isn't letting Beterbiev fight on dazn. And we know hearn isnt letting bivol fight on espn coming off of beating canelo.

It's not happening in 2022

Money talks and hopefully it speaks loud and clear in this case.

Why fight Yard? He’s not undefeated and just got done whipping Canelo’s butt. I want to see the winner fight Bivol, even if it’s Smith.
