Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Shakes Head at WBC Not Sanctioning Fights With Russian Boxers

Like Canelo and Andrade right?

Will Canelo duck Andrade the third time, at 168?

Andrade is garbage. Hasn’t done sh.it to earn a fight.

Forget the straps. Fight for supremacy. Preferably before Beterbiev becomes a grandfather.

Its nothing but posturing and empty virtue signalling from Suilaman. Does he really think the Kremlin gives a **** arse if Bivol is sanctioned or not?? Like ***** is sitting in Red Square saying to himself "I better withdraw the troops immediately or this wont be a title fight!!!"

Clowns...........

No one is saying it will result in change directly. But it's a pretty bloody simple philosophy - one action won't yield a result, but a combination of actions is more likely to.

It's the same for elections - a single vote doesn't make a difference by itself, but enough single votes put together does.

Suilaman is still a slimeball though.

I respect the WBC for doing this. They’ll actually lose money by not sanctioning fights so it shows they’re standing for something other than themselves.

And people don’t understand that while yes WBC can now prevent Canelo-Bivol II and therefore Canelo losing again, and Arum can now prevent Beterbiev from losing to Bivol; this move was pushed by the Klitschko’s/Ukraine. There were open letters sent to Sulaiman about this.

While Sulaiman has ulterior motives, he is doing the right thing.

so then the next time we (the US) go into some middle eastern country uninvited, should all US fighter be stripped??

This is crazy that's like saying that Russian mvp that just won the NBA championship will get stripped of his awards because he's russian. only in boxing smdh

[Sosay]

Don't worry Bivol. Call Nelo and Beterbiev out for a fight without those belts that don't matter. Put it in their court and we'll see if they're about fighting the best or not. Sales won't change if no belts so who cares, I'd rather see the fights.

They aint gonna answer this.

They watch corporate media that tells them what to think.

I've been watching boxing my entire life, have over 1000 vhs tapes and 200 dvd's with nothing on it but boxing from one end to another that I started collecting as a teenager the same way kids collect comic books or video games, seen every era and seen fighters most ppl will never be able to see or don't even know about, and I have to say that Bivol is one of baddest mofos I ever saw live or on film. It truly disgusts me that he's not being allowed to box for certain belts. The politics have no place in our sport. He's a good man trying to feed his family. He doesn't give a sh.t about the war in Russia or about *****, he's just a boxer and a good person. Same thing for Beterbiev. Another bad mf

Badest mofos and Bivol doesn't go together.

BS move by the WBC, politics should never cross over to sport , athletes train their lives away only for some stuffed shirt that's never done anything to say you can't fight, toata BS.

This just proves that Suiliman only cares about Mexican boxer's & will do anything to boost Canelo's career like line him up against an over the hill cruiserweight who's going to have to boil down to get a pay cheque.
