This would be a good scrap. I was expecting another Castillo level opponent while waiting for the Canelo rematch payday.Comment

Absolutely. I do acknowledge that Bivol didn't get out of second gear, and that he comprehensively beat Richards (those 115-114 and 115-113 cards were outrageous).
Richards is underrated though; his record doesn't tell the whole story of his career. I'd say he's probably a top 10 light heavy. He had his success against Buatsi when Josh had lapses - but he's a good, tricky opponent and Buatsi dealt with him.Comment

Not Beterbiev, styles makes fight and he will get hit. Needs a mover like Bivol to beat Artur.
But I don't doubt Buatsi would be competitive with everyone else. Probably bookies favourite v everyone besides Bivol, Beterbiev and Zurdo and maybe Callum Smith.Comment

supposedly, bivol didn't recieve money for canelo clash and he had no other money fights. he was very inactive recently. if promoters get mad at him (add that he's russian), he would be on the shelf. he can't risk that. bivol and beterbiev are in a tough position. they have to obey currently.Comment
