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

[champion4ever]

Canelo fanboys are just elated over this decision by the WBC. Bivol should be given the same right as Canelo to fight any opponent of his choosing. Who is in his best interest too fight.

The Canelo fanboys want Dmitry to fight Benny next so David could lose. They know that between Bivol and Alvarez; Dmitry has the best chance of defeating him

Something I just thought of:

Beterbiev said he hadn't even wanted the rematch this soon, could it be possible that he had the option of doing the trilogy fight next (which is not the usual way these things are done, btw) but insisted that he didn't want to do it that soon?

ill phone him up and get back to you asap!!! with the answer

All I gots to say is: HALLELUJAH!!!!

I bet you do!

Funny that WBC didn’t want to sanction a fight against Bivol for years. Now he’s champ it would be just desserts if he just dropped it and didn’t pay fees.

I do prefer a fight against Benny than Beterbiev though. Theres a lot more mystery in that matchup. Especially with the fact Benny (although very different to Beter) has a come forward, high volume style and is in the middle of his prime. He ain’t got that same power at 175 though.

That's true but he lacks both the size and power to do any serious damage to Bivol though. It's my belief that Dmitry would box a master class around Benny and that walking down style of his.

all 3 are pressure fighters

Artur and Alvarez are great pressure. David is good pressure

Most important would be David ability to cut off the ring

Long night for Bivol if David can cut him off

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.

Dmitry should have the right to fight whomever he so please like Canelo does.

Bena also went in wild and got dropped by a counter left hook from Gavril

He still has that habit of throwing without keeping his offhand up to guard his face

he sometimes does the dreaded bow and arrow jab

lot of opportunities for Bivol to counter with

Hook
1-2
2-3

Bena will try the right hook around the guard. Artur had success with this shot. Bena used it against Morrell

if Bena can effectively cut off the ring, Bivol has shown a clinch game and infighting ability

Great news. But it comes as no surprise. From the start, I believed Turki brought him out to Riyadh to set up a match between David and the winner of Bivol-Beterbiev. Now here it is. Very worthy fight. And this will make two highly-anticipated fights in a row for the Mexican. Outside of rematches, you don’t see that very much anymore.

The one thing that we do know about the WBC; Is they are by far the more lenient of all the four major sanctioning bodies when it comes to enforcing their mandatories.

If Bivol were to so much as request a voluntary defense prior to his mandatory challenge against Benny; I am pretty sure that the WBC would sanction and grant it to him.

Unlike the IBF; Who are by far the more stringent of the four major sanctioning bodies when it comes to enforcing their mandatory bouts.

However, It's really up to Bivol on whether or not he fights the trilogy bout with Artur or his mandatory bout with Benny.

might be more up to turki???? he is paying so what he says goes!!! he might ask both what they want to do first idk but if beter says i want no3 next i think turkii will go with that and so will bivol cos turki is the BOSS
