Bivol will be undisputed eventually, but in the meantime I'll love to see him beat up that fly called Zurdo Ramirez.

So Bob and Todd are both pushing the Yarde vs Winner fight. Since when do Top Rank care about mandos? What gives? Why duck Bivol? The only thing I can come up with is that they don't want to lose the WBO belt.

Feel a bit more hopeful after reading this. A bit of patience may be required as each takes an interim bout before the end of the year, but if we can see it early next year I'll be comfortable with that.

Another year for Beterbiev to get even older? Why not have the unification fight now?

No one cares about Anthony Yarde.

In an ideal world yes, I am just applying some realism to the situation. I've been watching boxing too long to get overly exercised about the schedule.

Arum wants none of bivol

In which case it's up to Beterbiev to take ownership of his career and demand the fight.

No reason bivol vs beterbiev shouldn’t happen asap. Especially when the guys in the way are irrelevant like yarde and Ramirez. Let those two guys who haven’t beaten anyone worth mentioning fight each other while the unification takes place.

Bivolwould be better off signing with top rank and ESPN rather than matchroom and dayzin. He’s a marvelous talent but now that he’s soundly whipped Canelo and Canelo seems to want no part in ass whoopin 2.0, might as well move on to greener LH pastures unless of course the local domestic circuit is the goal for the future
