Comments Thread For: Cleverly vs. Jack Deal Done - But Bivol Has Yet To Step Aside

[TheBigLug]

Bivol should step aside with the condition that the winner has to fight him.

Yep, that would be the best scenario.

Can't imagine either wanting to fight him that soon though. He's very high risk-low reward right now.

I agree that Cleverly's best days are behind him but he can still beat Jack. What good opposition has Jack knocked down other than De Gale?

He did knock down Groves.

Why even put this on the PPV at this time. It can be it's on headliner on SHO.

Because Floyd has a pretty well established history of stacking his undercards for his PPVs, today at least goes back as far as when Floyd owned his own show.

Mayweather-McGregor, Davis-Martinez, Cleverly-Jack, and a fourth fight for the PPV, with Porter-Dulorme and a second fight as the lead-in on FOX.

6 televised fights for one event.

Why... Why even fight Cleverly, he isn't anything special damn!
I'd much rather see Bivol Vs. Jack.

Because Cleverly has a belt and although Bivol is still waiting for the winner, that gives the belt holder a chance at getting Andre Ward in the near future.

Stevenson-Alvarez settles the WBC, Beterbiev-Koelling gets the IBF shot and likely first fight after full unification, and the wba champion gets the shot after that.

Yep.. He has waited over a few months for Cleverly now.. so If Clev loses the belt to jack then He can get it too.. Bivol downs Jack & Clev inside 10..

Not even that man, WBA only ordered Cleverly/Bivol less than 2 weeks ago when they see how long it was taking for Cleverly and Jack to make a deal. This whole things a ****-up by all involved.

WBA "Regular" Championship only in boxing does the guy in second place still gets reward and can walk around as a "CHAMPION" that is PATHETIC Interim is one thing but all these Belts are RIDICULOUS!

Bivol is dumb if he steps aside. Guys will duck him in the future which will delay his career for years, so why start off by delaying it even more now?
