Artur getting a taste of his own medicine

Artur stalled fighting Bivol to recover from his knee surgery

Make no sense, why would he wait, just made him older. It's illogical.

[boxingitis]

Waited for Beterbiev to be 40 and then ducked Benavidez. He is like Canelo waited for GGG to be 35, and duck Benavidez.

Pay Yarde that step aside

Benavidez-Artur

Artur gets a shot at winning his belt back

Benavidez legitimizes himself as a champ if he can beat Artur who recently held that belt

Artur was 39 when Bivol first faced him in a fight that 55% of people had Bivol winning

Part 2 Bivol clearly won this time around 8-4

Dont know why Bivol gets that much heat for getting a back surgery to fix an injury lol is not like thats uncommon in boxing, also, Beterviev just lost his 0 and a tune up to regain confidence and stay sharp wouldn't hurt. Some dudes really wanted that third straight fight didn't they lol, well not gonna happen deal with it.

Now he is magically injured after CLEARY beating the toughest guy at 175? Make it make sense. Boy is scared.

He knows Beterbiev will come with everything in 3rd and will be more motivate to get his titles back.

Artur was magically injured before fighting the REAL toughest guy at 175

Bivol is the max durable fighter at 175 not Artur who has been knocked down twice by randoms.

yes fighting someone twice in a row means scared

When other fighters will postpone 1st rematch for years or outright duck it

you people are shameless and will say anything

That makes NO Sense, it never benfit it Arthur to stall the fight with Bivol as he would be much older. Bivol is a duck, it's clear. If he is not scared why stall the match and fake an injury?

Bivol won 13 to 15 of his 24 rounds with Artur

How scared when won the majority of the time they fought



There is resentment from the Artur fanbase.

Because he stalled facing Bivol the first time, gets a controversial decision, lost clearly in the INSTArematch, and now has to wait for trilogy as his opponent recovers from surgery

[Jab jab boom]

Saul's best no controversy wins

8-4'ing 35 year old Cotto who was undersized for 160

late come from behind ko of 36 year old Kovalev

8-4'ing 40 year old Golovkin

Saul's resume is great but his record is misleading

he's in the shallow end of great at the border with the guys who are very good but not great

Agreed 100%

Bivol runs. Biev chases him down. Call Biv the best boxer of all time. He is still boring and no one cares about him. He isn't a draw because of his lack of power and he depends on his opponent to bring the fans. I picked Bivol to beat Canelo and agree that Canelo is overrated.

And I don't blame Bivol for running and winning a defensive fight. it just makes for a boring fight and we all know it. Artur isn't getting any younger and Bivol knows very well that Artur isn't coming to dance and chase for the third fight. He is going to go for broke and try to destroy Bivol.

Also Bivol has not been knocked down because he is never takes any chances and is ALWAYS defense first. Biev is always going for the KO and he is not afraid of taking a shot to give one.

Goes back to the same old argument. If a fan doesn't like Biev for whatever reason, they will point to Bivol and praise him for being so defensive and it is "the sweet science" slick fighting crap. Even though there is no way a fan of the sport gets much excitement out of watching him. But hey, their guy won, so they throw out the "we got a fun fight" factor, which is what casuals (who keep the sport alive) watch for......Floyd made a career out of this once he moved up in weight and created a whole new Money persona so people would buy his fights just to see him get stopped.

Pure boxing and defense is great when a guy has the power and talent to KO the other guy while fighting that way. RJJ barely got hit in his prime, stopped a bunch of guys. That is why he will always be seen as a top P4P guy and Bivol will always be seen as a skilled fighter but not a great.

Which again is fine. But it is simply hilarious to watch people to praise Bivol when he is boring AF.
