Comments Thread For: Beterbiev on Bivol: 'He Talk About Fight But He Never Fight'

[KillaMane26]

Whoever Bivol was with said they came there to help make the fight happen or something.

With a new war going maybe WBC will fall about on the BS with Russia fighters

Arum is keeping this fight from happening.

Canelo VS Benavidez: Canelo (who I think would win) seems intent on avoiding another risky fight.

Bivol VS Beterbiev: Politics and indifferent attitudes have made it clear this fight will likely never happen.

Fury VS Usyk: Fury soiling his so-called legacy has put a spanner on this happening in December, if ever.

Literally the only three fights that seriously matter (to me) and it's likely we're not going to see any of them.

Ugh, it's difficult justifying my love of boxing sometimes.

The only thing that will save Bivol in the fight is if the age and injuries catch up to Beterbiev. This fight was possible in 2019 but Bivol's manager said, we don't need to make it now. Aging a fighter out, is nothing new, unless you are a fan of a fighter.

Oh yeah, gotta agree there's been an element of trying to age him out, haven't seen a lot of effort to get that fight made. Bivol will have to do a Crawford/Haney and leave his stable if he wants it that badly, should just go and do it, prob expecting Caelo cash to land back his way

This fight should have happened several years ago. The longer they wait the more it benefits bivol, the younger guy.

Bivol is faster but beterbiev has good timing and can change the fight around with one shot. It would have been a great style match up to see if bivol can box a near perfect fight the whole night or if beterbiev will time him and land something big.... now i highly favor bivol and if he wins a decision we will still wonder what would have happened a few years back.

I blame both. They were once amateur teammates. Neither has been very vocal about making this fight.

Beterbiev roasted that man, he gotta see him now.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Ok, keep the same energy when you talk to Arum and WBC officials.

[SweetPbfAli]

Arum is keeping this fight from happening.

He's on record saying that he doesn't like making undisputed fights. I forgot if he gave any reasoning but he did say it.

[Nusky]

Bottom line is Bivol's team doesn't believe he can beat Beterbiev. And although I don't believe Bivol fears Beterbiev- I believe he has some doubt himself on whether he can win or not.

So another classic version of "age him out until we feel confident in a favorable result" continues.

All this other s--t about the war is horses--t. The real boxing fans aren't ****** and dont believe this garbage.
