Comments Thread For: WBA Rejects Appeal For Bivol To Bypass Mandatory Title Defense, Must Face Ramirez Next

Oh man, Zurdo is food for Bivol. He's going to look completely out of his league from the opening bell. I can't see him doing any better than Joe Smith Jr. did. He is big and lefty, but Bivol is a surgeon in there. This has 10 rounds to 2 for Dmitry written all over it.

Finally something done right!! FK Hearn trying to slipsteam Buatsi when Zurdo fought two eliminators to get here!

[Chris Hanson]

How would the purse bid work though? I mean the fight is definitely gonna be on dazn and Hearn and Oscar are both with it. So they both gonna bid or Oscar just gonna let Hearn overbid?

They’ll share the cost the way everyone shares OldSkoolGs mom. I don’t think that weirdo is married.

At some point you have to sue. Warrington should be fighting Lara. And so on.

No. Warrington should be fighting Luis Alberto Lopez. That's his mandatory. And it's happening at the end of the year, November time. And that's the IBF, not the WBA.

[Rodtang]

They both going bid to try and be lead promoter… it’ll be just like a regular bid even though both have exclusive deals with dazn

Most likely. They could try to share the card. Like a Matchroom fighter v a GB fighter. We just had Ortiz jr Vs McKinson. Something along those lines.

How very immature of you. Still if you feel bigger now good for you

A rare occasion when a sanctioning body does the right thing. So, WBA, thanks!

Zurdo will be 195 - 200 on fight night. Bivol will need to be sharp.

The WBA is a POS. How has Bivol had 8 defenses and only 1 was mandatory? I get the Canelo fight. What about the other 6? Same BS happening with LSC. They don't even follow the their own rules

Yeah Buatsi probaly gonna fight pascal in a eliminator for the IBF Title which is a decent fight but not the best they'd of wanted bivol in London but ramirez vs bivol is a ****er hopefully it gets made by October-November and we get another really good fight to look forward to

Warrington isn't obliged to fight lara because he's not mandated for Warringtons belt which is the fight warrington has to take next a mandatory. Luis Alberto Lopez is the mandatory for Warrington and he'll fight warrington probaly end of the year maybe. And lara it looks like is gonna fight leigh wood for the WBA regular end of September in nottingham
