Comments Thread For: Hearn: Gonna Put My Neck on the Line that Canelo Fights Bivol For 168 Undisputed This Year

[PRINCEKOOL]

Completely devalues the fight and challenge, if the fight is staged at 168 pounds.

Hearn is doing his best to increase the likely-hood of his fighter winning, which is actually good match making.

I personally think the rematch should be at 175 pounds.

the ginger twit is still probably in shock that the judges didnt pull it out for him that night, im sure he thinks he can make it closer and get the W at 175, but hearn knows better, its all hands to the pumps to get bivol lower, i would only do it if i was him if the money was epic

Way bigger win for Bivol if it is at 168. Another beating at 175 is meaningless aside from the nice payday he will get.

Great. Now it won't happen.

Eddie Hearn thinks that talking Dmitry Bivol into losing 7 pounds will leave him in a weakened. Giving Saul Alvarez his best chance at defeating Bivol in their rematch.
Except that his master plan just might blow up in his face. When a lighter, faster, and just as determined, Bivol beat's Alvarez even easier in their rematch.

Glad Suleiman isn't president of the WBA. Otherwise, Bivol's belt would be on the line despite fighting at 168

[Silence]

What a courageous guy Canelo is.. He is literally risking his all belts against a H2H monster despite his loss. No Canelo no party. We're starving without him. Let's gooo!

Bivol will put the beats on him whether at 168 or 175, if it happens to be a 168 and Dmitry becomes undisputed, Fast Eddie will ignore Cinnabon's zipper and attach himself to Bivol's.

It would be a monumental feat, to drop down 7lbs., and become "Undispiuted" at 168! No doubt, that would make him P4P #1. However, I do believe Hearn is the one talking this up, to help Canelo! Bivol seemed determined to fight Beterbiev b4 Canelo, now suddenly he's not concerned about Beterbiev?
