Will Bivol get Full Credit for Beating Beterbiev?

[RJJFan]

Assuming they fight next year, after Beterbiev recovers from a fairly serious injury for an athlete, will Bivol still get full credit?

[HeadShots]

He should because this fight is postponed solely due to Beterbiev


1. He ran away from Dazn when they were under same promotion.

2. He pulled out when the fight is signed


He aged himself out. Nobody to blame but himself.

Bivol is going to stop him on the ropes.

[Smash]

yes he will get full credit for beating the old one legged crippled guy

Beterbiev is the reigning lineal, TBRB, WBC, IBF, and WBO light heavyweight champion of the world. He's 20-0-0-0 with 20 KOs including wins over reigning lineal and WBC champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk; former world titlists Tavoris Cloud, Gabriel Campillo, Joe Smith, and Callum Smith; and contenders Callum Johnson, Marcus Browne, and Anthony Yarde.

It's also the oldest active lineage in boxing. Beterbiev beat Gvozdyk, Gvozdyk beat Adonis Stevenson, Adonis Stevenson beat Chad Dawson, Chad Dawson beat Bernard Hopkins, Bernard Hopkins beat Jean Pascal, and Pascal beat Dawson in a match up of the top two fighters for the vacant lineage (as the previous #2 Glen Johnson lost to Cloud right before the first Pascal v Dawson fight).

And winning would make Bivol the undisputed lineal, TBRB, Ring, WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO world champion.

And Beterbiev's meniscus injury isn't that serious. Karl-Anthony Towns and Joel Embiid both had the exact same injury this NBA season. Towns returned in only 4 weeks, Embiid returned in 8 weeks. Beterbiev should be back to 100% before the end of the year, even at his age.

So yes, he'll get the credit if he wins. ****** question.

I’ll give Bivol full credit for beating the BEST

[hugh grant]

He will get credit for beating a great fighter

I imagine we're going to get a Beterbiev tuneup before we get back to this fight, yeah?

He shouldn't need one. His surgery is a 6-8 week recovery for most people. Joel Embiid took the full 8 in the NBA this year, but Karl-Anthony Towns did it in 4. Same surgery for both guys. Then a normal training camp and he should be fine to go right into the Bivol fight.

No. But you can always ask ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY to clarify.
