Comments Thread For: Beterbiev Prefers Bivol Unification Over Facing Yarde Next

[slimPickings]

Mandatories are a part and life of this game. Whether you and I like it or not. If Yarde is next in line and he is up for it , then give him his shot. Whether you think he has a shot at winning is irrelevant. If he is next in line then so be it. At the very least offer him a step aside money for Bertebiev v Bivol with the contractual obligation that the winner faces him next.

Yarde should take the step aside money and go for the 4 belts ... He won't get any of them anyway, so better for him to get paid twice instead of one and done ...

If a unification fight betweenBeterbiev and Bivol isn't next, then I'd like to see Beterbiev give Canelo a thrashing..

Bivol sounds like his dance card is full. The Yarde fight is fine to keep Beterbiev busy. I will watch it.

But Bivol needs to get his mando/rematch questions dealt with here. This will be a Huge unification. A HW fight between Fury and Usyk/Joshua would be more important and Spence/Crawford bigger, but Beterbiev/Bivol has positioned itself in that realm. It needs to happen.

I was impressed more by his movement than anything else. That makes him complete and he hits like a mule.

Unless Bivol Contract is up soon and become a Network Free Agent and go over to ESPN, that fight is not happening according to Arum basically

he is using the "Nobody Knows Bivol" because he fights on DAZN or "DARK ZONE" as Arum just called it LMFAO

Yarde is just easier to make because he is with Warren and Warren and Bob does good business together and he is WBO Mandatory

Yes I PREFER Beterbiev vs Bivol but Politics (Promoter and Network/APP Platform Politics) will get in the way of that one too unfortunately

I really wanted to see Joe at least put up a fight.. But now I really don't want to see him fight Yarde or Bivol he will destroy both of them the only person I see that could give him a fight would be Benividez.. That's the fight that needs to happen. He would kill Canelo, Canelo need to leave them Big boys alone and go after Charlo..

[Mtodduk08]

Bivol will get Knocked out like Joe the only difference is It will be in the later rounds because he is a way better boxer but he has no power to keep Beterbiev off of him. Yarde will get Knocked out in 1st round. Benevidez needs to step up and fight him that would be the best fight ever.

Hearn said they could move Andrade or any fighter from the DAZN platform for a one-off, so what's the issue with Bivol. Beterbiev is the one with 3 belts. Crawford has all the legacy but Spence has 3 belts so Crawford is moving to Spence but Spence don't want to fight, just like your boy Bivol who could have had this fight back in 2019 before Covid.

Can you provide a link to that? I hope that's true, but from what I see it's an exclusive deal, as is Arum's deal with ESPN.

[Motofan]

We all want that fight next.
