    Hopefully his next move after this is Benavidez, I don't want to see the trilogy. Beterbiev is in his 40s and Bivol really got away with aging this dude out

    More surgery? Doesn't bode well hitting mid-30s! Should still have too much for Smith though, but i'd rather see Artur or Benavidez

    I remember, some time ago, compubox showing Bivol having better defensive numbers than Mayweather. People really latch onto any reason to downplay him.

    surgery on the 4th, then Smith waits around for an unknown date for the fight?

    I really don't care about Beterbiev 3, kind of hoping Benavidez gets a shot unless he stays at cruiser

    Dont mind Smith getting a shot after the nice Buatsi win.

    Jesus wept. Guy is holding up division at this point time to strip him of his belts so the sport can move on.

    He will never step in the ring with Benavidez. David robbed of undisputed in literally 2 divisions. Amazing. Fighting bum Callum Smith for nothing, what a waste of time like his last fight. Drop the belt and fight Benavidez.

    Okay, I'll admit that this is very disappointing.

    He should just call it a day and retire

    After Smith, he'll probably fight Malik Zinad again. After that another elbow surgery. After that, fight with Lyndon Arthur. And so on, lol.

    Lol now this is total nonsense. Opetaia has been robbed of being undisputed at CW. Benavidez has done nothing but at pick at bones LHW.

    Smith is a solid opponent but not looking good for Bivol physically, his body is feeling it now.. some age well some don't, it is what it is.. fight smith & retire..
