Benavidez's idea for Bivol

[El_Mero]

“I was thinking how we could make that fight even bigger. I was thinking we could do a catchweight at 190lbs, we get the cruiserweight belts involved, the light-heavyweight belts involved and the winner takes all.
“Dmitry said he wanted to fight for the cruiserweight championship before his career was over, so maybe we can make an even bigger fight like that.”

then went on to state that he would also be willing to take that fight in the light-heavyweight division, but that he would need to get to work immediately in order to safely make the weight.

“I can still get to 175lbs, the thing is, if I do end up fighting him it is not going to be until the end of the year. It won’t be in September. If I get to work now, I could get down to that weight and that is exactly what I am planning to do. I am planning to get to work because I know what is next after this.

“I know that I have to be 100% ready, so if I’m going against Dmitry Bivol, I am getting to work probably next week.”

no this real

someone tell champ you must officially weigh in at <= 175 to fight for 175 belts

timestamped at 3:12

the fact that Fat Dave has the idea of catch weighting 15 pounds higher means he no longer fancies having to make 175

the cuts were taking their toll on him

Porter was an interviewer I'm surprised a former belt holder didn't remind Dave how the rules work

best part of this interview was Fat Dave shot down the rumors of him fighting this September

doesn't make sense to make an enemy out of Turki

keywords being immediately and safely

Unless he starts soon working back down to 175 for Q4 this year he's staying a perma cruiser+

More likely than not that his energy and stamina take a hit should he fight at 175 again

he'd be high energy for the first half of the fight

[hardleft]

at the moment he says he has 8 titles he says

dude is like a kid in the candyshop he wants it all

[hardleft]

hes going back for bivol is what he wants straight from the horses mouth

JakeTheBoxer Spray_resistant Buff Guy Artur's inactivity might have screwed him out of a trilogy. Back Surgery Bivol is fighting again BEFORE Buff Guy Artur

last I heard Turki talk big fights for Top Soviet Bivol he rather see him fight Fat Dave. Turki already has Top Soviet Bivol winning both fights

violent fight that probably won't happen

Buff Guy Artur Fat Dave

both are open for the other's favorite shot

Buff Guy gets rocked by left hooks

Fat gets rocked by rights over the top

that fight is last resort option for david which basically means its not happening
