    Turki should have just made Beterbiev vs Benavidez

    Bivol didn’t want the smoke with Benavidez for whatever reason and he’s clearly delaying the Beterbiev trilogy too.

    Why not just make Beterbiev vs Benavidez for the WBC. Feels like a missed opportunity with both on the same card.

    Put Yarde in with Smith instead and them Morrell can rematch Khataev after a controversial decision win LTO.

    Benavidez vs Yarde should be an entertaining fight but it does lack the big match prestige a Benavidez vs Beterbiev fight would have.

        Both are fighting on the same card, the Saudi’s easily have the capital to switch things about, look at Bakole flying half way across the world to go and fight Parker.

        The WBC ordered them to fight and Bivol vacated. Let’s call a spade a spade.

          Bivol appears to have jeeted boxing this year and ucked up the light heavyweight timeline

          Bivol a bad boi

          trilogy could be violent like Ali-Frazier 3 as Artur is fed up with Bivol’s bullsht outside of the ring

            Artur-David is big enough to warrant a full training camp for each

              joke could be on Bivol as Benavidez-Yarde and Artur-Dean are highly competitive bouts that warrant instaRematches

              Dean is a big boi with one punch ko power who used to fight at cruiser

              Dean has ONE lost when he was knocked out by a cruiser right cross

              Dean has awful defense and is open for all manner of right hand: straights crosses hooks uppers

                  Benavidez already had a fight scheduled. But I would have loved to see this matchup.
