Turki should have just made Beterbiev vs Benavidez

[Hustle]

He vacated for a lucrative rubber match against a more dangerous opponent rub those 2 brain cells together

And the wbc should have ordered Beterbiev vs benavidez the moment bivol vacated

[Da Pimper]

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.

Bivol ducking Benavidez? Think before making moronic claims.

I believe Yarde David will be a highly competitive bout that warrants an instaRematch

I’ll be surprised and impressed if Mexican David somehow outdoes what Artur did to Yarde

David is better defensively than Artur while Artur is superior offensively

[Boxing 112]

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.

That was cause of a legit illness Dubois had. Even though idiots love claiming a duck, people saw him being sick and he also wasn't the only fighter who pulled out sick.

this is Bivols fault should have let everyone know earlier if his real intention was to sit out remainder of 2025 and have surgery. Can't scrap the Yarde fight now not fair on him unless Yarde got a legit injury. And Benavidez can't claim injury pull out and then announce Beterbiev for same card which is only 3 months away

Male internet boxing 'fans' are toxic. With the possible exception of Usyk, Bivol has fought the toughest level of competition of anyone over the past three years. Rather than give him the benefit of the doubt for this delay, losers who have never boxed are prepared to make childish statements like 'he doesn't want the smoke' etc.

Bivol has definitely beat the best skilled opponents

Artur & Saul > Fury & Joshua
Artur & Saul > Fulton & Nonito
Artur & Saul > Errol & Gamboa

I’m not saying his reasons aren’t valid, boxing is a business. However, he chose to vacate rather than fight Benavidez. That is a fact whether you choose to accept it or not.

I agree tbf. Would be harsh on Yarde. Bivol has really stalled the division.

Buff Guy Yarde is great real 175 experience

Gvozdyk was super rusted

Fidel Morrell was a green opponent who had just moved up to 175 himself

Yarde is the full fledged 175 experience that will make David into a full fledged 175
