Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Suffers Torn Meniscus, Postponing Dmitry Bivol Fight

Could be that long could be less. But Beterbiev is 39 not going to be as quick to heal from surgery. I saw someone write maybe ready for September, that aint happening. Bivol will need to just fight someone else.

But he has the testosterone levels of a 19yo. Hopefully he heals like one too.

Wrong!!!

BenavideZ won't just let Bivol get off he will pressure him like no one ever has break him and stop him I would bet on that.

Ok OK, I see the story, so from now on I will have to read how Danny boy beats Bivol....until Bivol beats him.

I enjoy Beterbiev from a entertainment standpoint, but his injury/inactivity is the reason why I never became emotionally invested in his career. It's one letdown after another. One month away from his biggest fight, and he gets injured. We've already had Fury/Usyk postponed thie year, so another postponement is extremely disappointing. I just hope that the 5vs5 card isn't postponed.

That is the reason I never understood guys here predicted Beterbiev to beat Bivol by a KO.

The guy is old and he is injured over and over again.

Chance now for Canelo to call out Beterbiev for September!

[Smash]

his testosterone levels were rising & his knee was just not able to take the pressure

Torn meniscus? Isn’t the recovery from that 5-6 months? That means the fight will be postponed until early next yr at least.

I tore mine a few years back. Had surgery and removed most of it. My knee is still not the same but I was moving well within a couple months for sure. I wasn't a pro boxer, tho, so their standards may be higher.

Yes from Benavidez beats Bivol and honestly it won't be that hard. Bivol knows this well a baby Benavidez put a beating on Bivol now its

I really hope this fight goes to Morrell Jr. if Morrell beats Bivol then him vs Benavidez should definitely be next.

Benavidez wants Bivol because they know he doesn’t fight with power and they’re familiar with him from sparring. Fighting Morrell Jr after a Bivol win is a different animal. I want to see that animal unleashed

Really? You're going by sparring stories from years ago? Wow. I'm a Benavidez fan but he's flat footed and open for counters. The guys is tailor made for Bivol who's movement, timing and punch selection are exceptional. Unless Bivol starts to look old, I would favour him all day against David.

Yes he was tailor made for Plant and Andrade also. Flat footed open for counters, how did that work out? Beterbiev is also open for counters yet so many choosing him over Bivol.

They think Benavidez will just sit back and let Bivol do what he wants. I recommend for anyone to watch the last 4 rounds of the Richards fight when he was coming forward and putting it on Bivol and giving him a lot of trouble.
