    Could tell something fishy was going on. Makes sense for Beterbiev getting amongst the champions, aint getting any younger.

    Bivol, Kornilov made it clear that the whole stable will go where Bivol goes. DAZN have better opportunities for the rest of his guys. There just gunna have to get real creative with Bivol's opponents now, go down to 168 maybe.

      I figured the Bivol deal gets dates for the WOB dudes as well

        I think the Bivol card coming is going to be heavy WOB. They want Akhmadaliev a title shot as soon as possible, safe to assume he'll be getting a shot at Roman/Doheny before the end of the year. Hearn can do a ton with Kuzmin both sides of the Atlantic, Top Rank is appaling at heavy

          Either that or have the 168 pounders come up to LHW like Callum Smith. But I just wish Bivol would go to ESPN with the other champs. It would be great to see some unification bouts in that division this year. He's not going to be fighting them anytime soon. Bivol will mainly be stuck with mandatories and fighting guys like Smith.

            Things can change. Is Kovalev/Main Events officially ESPN? I know their NBC thing aint happening anymore. If Hearn wanted to make Beterbiev/Buatsi this year, continue sending him down the IBF route, don't think theres any mandatory for Beterbiev.

              Mandatory will be the best bet for Buatsi if he wants Beterbiev now. No doubt Hearn probably felt Beterbiev was the most vulnerable of the champs and Buatsi's best chance at a title in late 2019.

              As for Kovalev? Not sure if he has an actual deal with ESPN, but it's hard to envision him winning the rematch. Not that he was doing bad in the first fight, but Alvarez showed he can take his punches and will be even more confident at taking the fight to Kovalev in the rematch.

                Wouldn’t be surprised to see Bazooka Joe knocks out Bivol in an upset, Pascal doesn’t have a lot of power was making Bivol hesitant!

                Hope Joe’s trainer shows him how to use body jabs!
