The juice wasn't worth the squeeze for Jack to fight Bivol. Bivol looks to potentially be a tough fight and had little to no name recognition which translates to little financial compensation. I think Jack would prefer to fight Stevenson or maybe even Kovalev. I highly doubt fear has anything to do with it, just cost benefit analysis.
Regarding Bivol, he looks promising but we haven't seen him against a live opponent. Clarkson and Agnew didn't want to be in that ring with him. I'd like to see Bivol against someone who goes in there to win or face some adversity to get a better idea of who he is as a fighter.Last edited by PBR Streetgang; 10-13-2017, 08:58 PM.Comment

I had heard the WBA had planned to unify it's titles into one; but it seems like they are full of it.
And why was Bivol suddenly given the belt when the fight between him and Broadhurst was supposed to be for the belt.
The WBA really is all over the place. Get rid of the three 'champs' in one division! Nobody respects or recognises it anyway.Comment

I have a hard time believing Jack did a Canelo on Bivol, I like Jack, not exactly a huge fan, but he's showed up for tough fights before.
It was probably a case of sitting down and crunching the numbers, looking at alternatives and seeing an easier route to bigger pay-days.
As a fan, I think this would be an incredible matchup, with both guys having a come forward style, like to **** and have good skills. Would have been a cracker. Maybe they'll meet in a unification bout down the line (hopefully Jack or somebody gets rid of that pest Stevenson).Comment

They have got rid of the belts in the division. WBA mandated Jack to fight Bivol, Jack dropped the belt. Promoted Bivol from interim to Regular. Made Broadhurst as his first defence. Ward retired and they got rid of the Super altogetherI had heard the WBA had planned to unify it's titles into one; but it seems like they are full of it.

u dont listen...
the only way he gets to fight on the mayweather-conor undercard is to get an opponent right?
his only options where alvarez and cleverly..alvarez rolled his ankle...
cleverly was option number 1, but they hated the "if u win the belt u have to drop the belt" clause that eddie hearn put in the contract...
but when alvarez got hurt they went ahead and signed eddie's term.
eddie hearn is now co=promoting bivol...
so what..jack gets to fight for the wbc now per wbc rules..wbc is lineal at 175 bc of stevenson...Comment
