Comments Thread For: WBC affirms David Benavidez next for Dmitry Bivol, but what about Bivol?s other mandatories?

[steeve steel]

One way or another, Benevidez gonna have to wait. Bivol will need a good rest, and Beterbiev is in no rush either. Both were handsomely paid for their last 2 fights, so ...

Turki can silence wbc

He will silence all of them like he has done already. Money talks and he has plenty of money without any obligation to make a profit. In an interview recently Eddie Hearn said it quite bluntly - it depends on what His Excellency wants to do.

Cos it's a Lawd-praisin' good fight in prospect

Yes, I am very sure it is for you. Say, let me ask you something. Are you by any chance a Canelo fan?

I believe the ibf has 1st dibs. I remember reading they were going to order Beterbieve, had he won, to fight the ibf mandatory next.

This is right

Eiffert it is first before all

Well, we shall definitely see. One thing is for certain and that is the IBF don't fuck around when it comes to enforcing their mandatories. Let's just say for argument sake that there was a trilogy.

It would be wise for Turki and both handlers of Bivol and Beterbiev. To consult with and request the IBF for an extension first or else Dmitry would run the risk of being stripped of that title.

Like Canelo and Usyk were when they were both the undisputed champions of their particular weight divisions.

The one thing that we do know about David Benavidez is that he can be hit, hurt and dropped. We learned that from his previous fight with David Morrell.

Trust me when I say that Benavidez doesn't carry anywhere near the type of punching power at 175 as Artur Beterbiev does.

A lot of people know more about Benavidez than you, those people know that was a bs knockdown and they know Benavidez beat the shi t out of Morrell!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Settle down there chief! Now tell me what did I say to denigrate or slight Benavidez’ talent and achievements?

I for one like Benavidez. I think pound for pound; He is one of the best fighters in the world today. All I said that it would be an option for Benny to rematch Morrell if he doesn’t get his mandatory title bout soon.

I saw the fight too. He defeated Morrell but I didn’t see him beating the shit out of him or else he would have stopped him. That is fact, truth, proof and history. Morrell performed better against Benny than any of his other previous opponents.

He laid hands on Benavidez. He touched him up a lot. I agree that Benavidez was the rightful winner of the fight but at no time did I see a dominant performance.

Sure that knockdown was bullshit! I agree. Despite that; Morrell still managed to hurt Benny on multiple occasions.
Hell don’t take my word for it. He even admitted it himself.

However, even with the avalanche of punches he landed; I did not see Benny hurt Morrell not once but Morrell did hurt Benny in rounds 4 and 11.

The point that I was attempting to make; Is that it was a competitive, highly entertaining, hotly contested and crowd-pleasing fight.

That most boxing don’t want to see again because we had a decisive winner in David Benavidez.

It's an exciting time for boxing fans, with many potential matchups on the horizon!

possible skill issues though

compare his performances against Plant & Gvozdyk

VS what Alvarez & Artur did to fresher stronger versions of them

Man not just you but peeps gotta stop with comparisons, did Ali KO foreman who KO'd the shlt out of Frazier who went the distance with Ali before AND after Ali vs Foreman, Mungia stops Ryder who went the distance with Canelo, I read you but c'mon man
