The desperation for Beterbiev-Bivol III next highlights Turki’s lack of understanding of the sport.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

watch a full Bena fight on half speed

Bena is good but a comfortable distance from great

Bivol and Artur are great fighters

There’s a 2.5 levels difference that separates Bivol ahead of Bena

left hook happy Bena doesn’t have a stylistic edge to close the 2.5 levels gap. Bivol isn’t susceptible for lead hooks

What I find odd about Turki’s fixation on a trilogy is Turki had Bivol winning the first fight 7-5

Turki is on the same page as most that Bivol beat Artur twice

two wins in a row over the same opponent would make a trilogy unnecessary

but fight 1’s judges failed. Per the rules of scoring boxing round by round clean punching takes precedence over aggression

because fight 1 judges fumbled and scored the decision to the wrong fighter we now have demand for a trilogy. The demand most strongly fueled by MuhammadBros

Disagree with almost everything you said.

Beterbiev deserves his rematch while he's still somewhat close to his top level. He had a long reign (October 2019 through February 2025) and the light heavyweight title is the oldest active lineage in boxing right now, stretching back unbroken to Pascal v Dawson in 2010. Another six months could make all the difference between another competitive fight and a complete wash in Bivol's favor. Let Benavidez blast out the IBF mandatory challenger in the meantime so that they don't end up giving their belt to the winner of Tyler Eifert vs Connor Wallace or some other awful nonsense.

Beterbiev can still get the trilogy which I agree he deserves. I just don’t see why it should be immediate, I’m bored of Beterbiev vs Bivol tbh. Would much rather see something fresh.

Because he's 40. It's that simple. Who knows how many more fights he has before his abilities drop off a cliff? It would be criminal to make him waste a training camp and a fight on some nobody. Especially with how often he's been hurt in camps.

What’s a more interesting fight to you: Bivol-Benavidez or Bivol-Beterbiev III? That’s the way I look at it.

I don’t think either of the first two fights were all that entertaining too. Largely due to negative tactics from Bivol.

Tiger Paw Artur deserves his immediate rematch

being 40 he could have just retired off of the suspect decision in fight 1 that went his way

But Artur was honorable and gave Bivol an immediate rematch

In the rematch Artur took 4 rounds in a competitive bout and won the final round too

Artur earned an immediate rubber match

Disagree with almost everything you said.

let start with what you see in Benavidez that makes him very good or light great then

I believe Bena is ranging from the level of Keith Thurman to Miguel Cotto

Allah keep Tiger Paw Artur healthy throughout his training camp then

this guy gets injured again and there might be no trilogy. He’ll just retire

I guess if he gets injured while training again there wouldn’t be an immediate trilogy

but given the short notice Bivol would then fight a Mr nobody not Benavidez

then there’s a high Ben would disappoint you VS Bivol

Ben threw 150 punches less per fight against his good friend Morrell & Gvozdyk compared to Tiger Paw Artur’s output in the Bivol fights

Beterbiev doesn't have many fights left at the top level. It's now or never for the trilogy, he's on the wrong side of 40. Bivol is 34, Benavidez is 28. They can wait another 6 months.

Then it's never for the trilogy, the fights were not that good. You really think Bivol will go from 3 fights with beterbiev directly to Benavidez? and if beterbiev wins, at 41, it will be a gamble with his injuries. The 3rd fight will look exactly the same as the previous ones. Since when is there an obligation for a trilogy?

Bena Callum would be a good fight that surprises everyone with how competitive it is
