    Looks like Bivol got the connect now. His stamina and punch resistance were elite tonight :lol:

    Turki will force a 3rd fight.

    Hope so see both of them take a warm up fight before facing each other again though.

    By coming off a loss, you're saying you expect Bud to beat Canelo?

    I just don't see Canelo moving up to 175 unless it's for Titles / Undisputed.

    Trilogy and pray Canelo and Benavidez fight each other in the mean time. As winner of that fight against Bivol/Beterbiev trilogy would be TT.

    However, I'm guessing Benavidez fights Callum Smith now which is a good fight. Would love to see Benavidez win this if it happens so he could fight winner of the trilogy fight.

    I think any fight other than the Bivol trilogy is good, though hes already beaten 4 of the top 10 in the division.

    Wouldnt mind seeing him vs Buatsi, Morell, Benavidez or even big super middles like Plant or Berlanga would be fun comeback fights for him.


    Pretty much anything but Bivol imo.

    Beterbiev vs Bivol 3 could look like Canelo GGG 3. Beterbiev gets worse everyday as he ages.

    Anyone who can KO him would be good. Good for his humble.
