Comments Thread For: Hearn Pushing For Dmitry Bivol to Fight Joshua Buatsi In the Spring

No, I said he was a promoter. Some people on here seem to feel that Hearn should prioritize his clients' and company's needs beneath the "good of the sport." Hearn is a businessman with a businessman's obligations.

I get it , not always for the good of the sport but that’s what a businessman has to do

Yep. They all do this.

Honestly , I think Bivol does the same fughin thing to Canelo at 168 like he did at light heavy

If that's true - and I am inclined to agree - the wheels fall off the Canelo hype train and he ends up where Joshua is now; a big name but lost in the wilderness.

The rematch should happen at 175lbs where Canelo can still make excuses and say he was not at his natural weight class and can his 168lbs titles for a few more fights.

I believe Eddie Hearn is doing all he can to keep this Canelo train running for as long as possible and he does not want another Anthony Joshua situation on his hands.

He had his number at 175 for sure. Bivol has never fought at 168 and he's a light heavy for a reason , he may not be the same. Sneaky ,'not so fast Eddie' is just trying to get an advantage as he does as they all do .The irritating thing for me is it becomes even more irritating coming from a guy that unlike most has been given it. I find him hard to stomach.

Let’s be honest , I can’t see Canelo even getting close AJ status
But I do believe Eddie is riding that train for as far as he can
I also believe that Eddie is keeping Bivol or trying to keep him as far as possible from Artur
Especially now , re-mentioning that Buatsi can be his next opponent

It’s like your living in my head lol
I still can’t see Canelo beating Bivol whether it be 168/175

If people are interested in watching the entire interview that BoxingScene is quoting from:

I like Buatsi, but his inactivity is getting frustrating. I think he really should've fought Pascal to get more experience, but fxct it then.

Highly dobtful that Buatsi is ready even for Pascal. hearn doesn't want him exposed and eliminated if he can get him in a championship fight (more $ for put-out-the-matchroom).

Why does Hearn keep trying to push this fight? Ain’t nobody interested in that. He should be pushing for Bivol vs Beterbiev after Beterbiev beats Yarde.

That would be LEGENDARY!

[MulaKO]

That would be LEGENDARY!

Bivol gots his number , imo
Beterbiev even mentioned it today in his interview that Canelo decided to take on Bivol with one belt instead of himself with two
Just sayin’ lol
