[Divine Hammer]

PBC is just full of complete mismatches and boring uninteresting fights.

The same way he kept getting Super Middleweight title shots.

He's a hungry young lion that Adonis couldn't afford to overlook.

Kovalev last two fights has been the 4th and 5th ranked light heavy, and his next Mandtory is gainst the number 9 ranked Light heavy.

Bika last two opponets barely even have light heavyweight rankings, let alone top ten rankings...

Haymon signs 2 types of fighters.

A Type: Groomed to be successful and champions.
B Type: Tools to use to make A types look good.

Didn't you get the memo? Haymon champs vs Haymon chumps, it's been like that for a long time! Chumps are just rotating and being fed to the champs one ofter another. It's quite obvious and Haymon has signed a couple chumps in every division to make his champs look good, everybody is getting paid. Everybody wins except the fans. You will probably see Bika again vs Beterbiev.

boxrec should have a little asterisk with a note at the bottom saying (Haymon Bout)

People are going to be a bit baffled by this stuff in hindsight without any explanation

[i'm a fun haver]

Because he's signed with Haymon. It's not how you do, it's who you're with.

This is the correct answer
