Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev: Bivol Just Says That He Wants To Fight, Wants To Fight, But That's It

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think these guys want to fight, promoters are the problem there.

Bivol's team pre covid - We can wait till he gets older. Same going on here as with Spence and Crawford. Can play like y'all don't see it? Beterbiev would have done a demolition job on Bivol 4 years. Imagine 4 years have pass along with covid and a couple of injuries and still can't get the fight ASAP.

Yep. Far worse scenario for Bivol. He might beat Biev in a technical fight, but Biev likely damages Bivol and stops him. Bivol has gotten a lot of fame by beating Canelo, but many people seem to forget that the reason Bivol was chosen by Saul was because Bivol was
not hugely known, due to his technical style.

Hearn doesn't want Bivol anywhere near Biev.

Look, I believe Beterbiev stops Canelo inside 8 rounds.

But is also believe Bivol beats Beterbiev. He is younger and faster.

What else is Bivol supposed to do? Some things are out of the fighters' control.

The different networks and promoters and all that stuff gets in the way a lot of the time.

I would pick Bivol over him to be honest. Hopefully that fight can get made.

It makes sense when you dig into it and find out they were both having talks at more or less the same time ... Saying it makes no sense doesn't make you brilliant ...

your rationale = WHY DIDN'T BIVOL FOLLOW ARTUR TO TOP RANK?????

it's like me and you are about to fight in the parking lot, then you take an airplane to go to Turkey

and have the galls to ask

"WHY DON'T YOU COME TO TURKEY TOUGH GUY!"




you are mentally disabled fam

Bivol just says that he wants to fight, wants to fight, but that's it.

When a boxer don't do anything other than talk, you can be sure he want no smoke. He just want you to hear what you want to hear. That's why the media people need to do a better job by asking tough questions.

Youtubers need to ask more follow up questions. Forget about the ones with biases. They're useless in helping to make fights happen. They're mostly the enabler types, or more into racial/nationality preference, then engage in playing blame games. That's fine. The neutral ones need to ask these boxers whether they're making any effort to make the fight happen like if they use their phones to talk to the other side, instruct their management team to make the fight, things of that nature. If none of these happen, you can be sure he's not really interested. He just want to talk.

Obviously Biev got a better deal. And he has three belts now because he left. Bivol's team definitely did not want Bivol in the ring with Artur before he signed with Bob, when the fight was easier to make.

Biev was supposed to wait for Bivol to "be ready" for years, instead of taking the better deal? I'd think about what you are saying before calling others mentally disabled. Bivol got lucky and Canelo's ego got him a big fight, now Bivol is on the radar. Before, he wasn't a big name. And I like Bivol and he might UD Biev. But the Bivol team obviously wanted nothing to do with Biev a few years back. If Artur looks to be aging today, you can bet Bivol will jump on the fight.

But is also believe Bivol beats Beterbiev. He is younger and faster.

As Biev ages, it is a real possibility. I think Joe made Biev look incredible, because you aren't going to overpower Biev. And Joe walked in there with that mindset and got obliterated.

Biev is still a monster and I see no serious signs of slippage. But Bivol could UD him. I'd say it is 60-40 in favor of Biev. As the years go by, it gies to 50-50. Problem with Biev is, every shot has stinging power. Bivol will have to fight a perfect fight.

I think both guys would take the fights boxers have egos and think they can fan beat anyone.

I give bivol the best chance because he is the most likely to stick to a game plan and adjust to just box.

I remember at the time almost nobody have beterbiev a chance to beat gvosdyk. But gvosdyk could never stick to a game plan.
