Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Expects Beterbiev To Face Callum Smith Next, Not Bivol

[Bronx2245]

Pushed? And I don't really see how it's clear based on the quotes from Bivol, who's said numerous times Canelo doesn't interest him.

The game is prize fighting, if Bivol and his team get an offer they really like from Canelo, it's their choice to accept or go in another direction. Unless there's a rematch clause in place...

Yet his promoter, Eddie Hearn, keeps talking about Bivol fighting Canelo @ 168, after Canelo fights Ryder in May!

Calum smith going to get demolished.

Beterbiev is 38, he doesn`t have much time left. every next year he doesn`t fight Bivol in is the lost year for him.

You think that the power's that be (promoter's), don't know that? That's the plan to catch him when he's old, or forego the fight altogether.
It's a damn shame, with Hearn it's let's take care of Canelo (the golden goose), first last, and always. The best fight's, and history be damned!
Hearns, and DAZN's philosophy is let me make as much money off of this dude (Canlo) as I can, while the getting's good.

So you're saying that Eddie Hearn will be forcing Bivol to fight Canelo at 168 - and that Bivol, his team and his other co-promotional company have no say in the matter. Eddie Hearn doesn't have magical powers to force fighters to fight - it's about money (which is normal in boxing). If Bivol and his team are offered money that's too good to turn down, they'll take the fight.

They are setting Smith up to get brutalized, if he let Cinnabon beat him all over the ring, Beterbiev will crush him into Brit bits.

I wouldn't be so sure of a Beterbiev victory here. He has been taking steady damage. Marcus Browne damaged him. Yarde damaged him.



Callum Smith is prime and fresh. Callum Smith is also a 1 puncher with both hands. Beterbiev's defense is dog chit. He would be the hardest puncher Beterbiev has faced to date.


Smith is going to land his straight right and left hook. Beterbiev could very well get knocked out this fight.

[Sosay]

Callum should fight Zurdo. Beterbiev would put a beating on him.

[HeadShots]

lol he's openly discriminating Bivol because he's Russian.




Bivol should tell him to **** offff


WBC is a joke

Whoricio got no problem with Kovalev fighting for the CW strap doe

[Superbee]

Step aside Money is made for that... Callum should take it instead of going for a loss with a lot of pain ...
