Whats next for Dmitry Bivol: Beterbiev (3), Canelo (2), or Benavidez

Never the fighter I want to win, but i also score on favour the aggressive fighter.

I actually think the series should be 1-0-1 atm. But I've not problem with Bivol getting the decision.

 

Continue to ***** himself out to the Saudi oil demons.

 

I rewatched the fight and think bivol won twice

Anyway I'm certain he wins a rubber match if it's made

 

1-1 is fair. Both won one each 7-5 for me.

 

Beterbiev. I'd expect the same result as tonight. Then let him derail the Benavidez train. Then he can humiliate old man Canelo again if it pleases him.

 

Benavidez is next in line. We have already seen the same fight twice, Is anyone really excited to see another replay?

 

He'd be a big favourite.

I think Beterbiev, had he been able to maintain the pace he set in the first 4, is a better fighter. But i don't think at his age he can do that for 12 rounds.

 

Yes, everyone lol.

 

This would be like Canelo/GGG 3.

Beterbiev's power was his ace in the hole and Bivol overcome that(for 24 rounds), his confidence just shot through the roof.

 

I want to see Bivol vs Benevidez next.

 

Bivol will beat Canelo quite easily once again. He beat fresher version of Canelo no less than 118-110.

He will also beat an overrated Benavidez, 118-110 but judges will score it way closer cause Benavidez (like Canelo) will be A-side in this fight.

 

Next should be one easy fight for Bivol to rest more.And one hard for Benavidez to proof he deserves that - agains Imam Khataev(it would be great but of course it will not happen, huge risk for Benavidez, Imam Khataev is like younger Beterbiev)
Canelo could offer huge money(and other type of pressure) for losing against him(as i believe they did in many of his fights).

 

"Old man" Canelo who's the same age as Bivol, but not "Old man" Beterbiev who's 40? Make it make sense.

 

He still has power as shown in the 12th but he's not as skillfull as Bivol. Though it would seem that Bivol needed to perform at his absolute best to barely eek out this decision whereas Beterbiev was able to fight Bivol close twice by just fighting in his normal style.

Bivol said something about how he was on anti-inflammatories and he was getting massages between rounds on his legs, and his right shoulder. Don't know what's going on with Bivol, he definitely won this fight and performend better than the first one but he really had to dig down deep to pull this off.
