      That rugby style with earmuffs and headgear on is too powerful in the ammys.

        yep, that's the one that needed to happen.

        Sadly i get the feeling we may not even get Bivol v Beterbiev. No news on when it can happen, Beterbiev picking up serious injuries at 40 that require surgery etc. I'll believe that happens when it's fight week. I guess Saudi money is the only thing keeping it alive.

        If the Saudi's lose interest in it and don't reschedule then that fight is dead in the water and Beterbiev probably considers retiring soon.
        Nah, he will come. Beterbiev hasn`t made a huge money fighting, he needs Saudi pay day to retire. According to instagram, he is heeling well.

        It could happen in december or early next year.

          They’re gonna try and reschedule it for later this year but it’s probably last chance saloon for Beterbiev, if hr pulls out again, they likely pull the plug on it.

            george foreman and larry holmes are the exact same age and they fought in the same division for ~20 years. it's the worst case in history for two champion calibre opponents missing each other.

                im not sure if this fight was ever close to being made, as mosley moved to welterweight around the same time trinidad moved to super welterweight.

                trinidad vs quartey was close to being made at one point though.

                trinidad dropped out of negotiations with quartey however due to having a legal/financial dispute with don king.

                so we almost got trinidad vs. quartey at one point.

                  The fight was agreed. Around 2004 time, Winky Wright ruined those plans though. Had Shane beat Wright he would’ve fought a returning Trinidad next.
