Could Bivol Make 168 or Talking Out His AZZ Like Golovkin About Down In Weight

[GrandpaBernard]

Years ago another EurAsian golovkin kept boasting about how he could go down a class

despite spending his entire career at the next weight up

[daggum]

we will never know cause canelo is scared to death of him and wont even fight him. bivol is not going to go down to fight some random bum like charlo or ryder at 168. thats pointless just like ggg wasnt going to fight some rando at 154 just to prove he could beat a bum

It’s never a smart idea to move down in weight IMO. History supports that theory too.

Well, the Canelo fight was the only fight I remember Bivol not looking like he was moving up a weight class. He's a very small LHW.


But again, we'll never know because King Cash Cow Canelo wins all negotiations!!

You’d think Bivol would spam Beter about fighting as much as he does Alvarez

having options makes you a better negotiator

Both Bivol and 3G cant speak English fluently. It's all bs, promoter talk to lure ignorant boxing fans.

Don't overanalyze or read too much into it.

1st time saw Bivol thought he an asian who just immigrated to America

turns out your boy a proud citizen of the Russian Empire

Guy’s will go wherever they have to, to get that check.

Bivol probably has to drop some muscle though and not just drain more to 168 like Dawson did. Dawson kept his 175lb fight night weight (around 185) vs Ward. That was a poor decision.

Who cares about that communist crap. He is relevant only if Canelo fights him again.

Not mega money to be made in that fight and a Russia vs Russia matchup will be a tough sell atm.

Hopefully Bivol signs with TR after his Matchroom deal expires because I can’t see that fight happening unless it’s in-house. There’s unfortunately not enough revenue in that fight to implore promoters/networks to work together.
