    Hope that the fight happens, instead of settling with fantasy outcomes fanboys like you dream of now in days.

    Bivol is a great fighter and likely be a ATG in the division if he retired now, that has achieved a lot in such a short span of time beating champions like Smith Jr, Canelo, Zurdo and Beterviev. But it is silly to count out Benavidez like you are until the fight is shown.

    Especially considering neither are KO artists at 175 with Benavidez being the younger fighter with the right attributes/skillset to outscore him. If Bivol beats him then he have another great win and congratulations to him. But don't celebrate too early.
    I think it’s a very competitive fight. I’d pick Bivol by decision but Benavidez is definitely a live dog.

    The OP is just a troll. He said he’d never post again if Beterbiev beat Bivol in fight one, he came back the next day. He then said Bivol had no chance in the rematch- so yeah his opinion ain’t worth sh**.

      Didn't notice that he jumped the Bivol bandwagon after the first match, even though he be wrong, it be fine if he just said that Beterviev had Bivol's number, who can bounce back and still winning in elite fights. This seems like a problem with today's pro boxing fans which annoys me because I am recent fan of the sport myself for 4-5 years who started watching fights of 1980s-2000s to start with.

      Or perhaps has the do more with fanboys of just one fighter rather than the sport, It's why boxing hardcores are envious of the UFC backing and right to be so. If a top MMA fighter has 10 losses but still doing pretty well, he will be still putting great fights and do well after retirement.

        Many of today’s boxing fans are bandwagoners so to say
        And most importantly they drop their fighter the minute he gets an L
        It is what it is

          I always enjoy throwing in so-called boxing fans the FACT that Ali was dropped 4 times in his career
          Funny enough I never get answered back
          Hmmmm why is that

            No but Canelo derailed his career by getting the belts and refusing to him the title shot he earned. He could have been undisputed at 26, yet now he is still trying to get a title shot in another division. Boxing is not fair.
