I love the Beterbiev and Benavidez fight for Bivol, I don't like this constant huge jumps Alalshikh is suggesting for these fighters though.

E.G. Inoue move up 3 divisions to fight Tank, Crawford basically 3 for Canelo, Bivol the biggest jump in sport whilst being smaller for the division you're in for Opetaia.

P.S. Bivol > Beterbiev always thought that and all these pull outs from Beterbiev lately are just solidifying my pick

Still hoping Turki can make Canelo vs. Benavidez but looks like he’s more determined to make Canelo vs. Crawford! Bud is not as big of an underdog than you think!

Step by step. Beterbiev next.

Fine.... I will happily remain in the minority. I still think Beterbiev wins. I have always liked Bivol, but if you rated boxing attributes across the board, Bivol is nearly straight "7", no real weaknesses, no amazing strengths. Beterbiev has a couple of "6", a few "7", and then hopes up to "9" and "10". As he has gotten older, I worry about the njury history and the inactivity between fights. But that sure has not mattered to the steam roller that is Artur Beterbiev up to now.

Hope his knee recovers 100%, because Bivol and Beterbiev both deserve this.

The yuuuuge SMW who's chasing Canelo vs the LHW who beat Canelo is a superfight with no superstars.

Don't think that ever happens even though I think Canelo wins, Canelo isn't as confident as I am seemingly.

Seems like lil ole Cinnamon is scared he's a cinnamon roll or something and he'll get devoured by Benavidez quicktime...

Thought Zinad was decent for a big underdog who took the fight on short notice, at least he came to win, didn’t lay down and put some aggression / needle into the fight.

Bivol vs Beterbiev is even more attractive now after Bivol put someone out. Bivol's accuracy and ability to somehow elongate his arms is amazing. That said, he got hit last night more than I thought he would.
I don't care if it is minority or not - I believe that Beterbiev will not break his will, but will break his brain and body down in the late rounds and will EARN the knockout.

Bivol is gonna run the table and he beats all 3 of them.
