Ok enough with the BS when are Kova-Bivol-Beterbiev-Gvozdyk gonna fight each other?!

I think Bivol goes to 168 & Gvozdyk would be a slight favorite to beat SK & AB...

Don't forget Alvarez & Browne are still in the mix too.

 

Bivol king if he stays at 175
Beterbiev beats both Kova and Gvozd.
Gvozd beats Kova.

1. Bivol
2. Beterbiev
3. Gvozdyk
4. Kovalev

 

The first fight will be Kovalev vs. Beterbiev (hopefully, at the end of this year). Maybe Beterbiev vs. Gvozdyk, but I'll be very surprised if that happens before the longtime rivals face each other.
Bivol almost expelled himself from the LHW top fighters by signing with DAZN. I think he's planning to move down to 168. But, if he ever face a LHW champion, the first one will be Kovalev, most probably.
Kovalev will fight Gvozdyk only when/if each of them has two belts (possibly one has three).

 

Some real good prospects coming through in Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Sims too

 

Gvozdyk is all wrong for any version of Kovalev I think even though I think SK is the significantly better fighter. AB stops Gvozdyk. Bivol UD AB. Gvozdyk vs Bivol pick 'em

 

I agree though @El Chicano, enough with the BS and get in there and bang it out

 

Any news on these cats?

 

No. And the situation is quite frustrating... Kovalev will hopefully fight Yarde in September, but Gvozdyk and Beterbiev... Gvozdyk is in limbo – after one rather meaningless fight (Ngumbu) what is he to do now? It seems like they are going to wait for Browne. But Browne is yet to fight Pascal in August... I have no idea what are TR's plans for Beterbiev. Maybe Artur will fight a mandatory or will wait for Kovalev to unify against him. All that means months and months of waiting. And all of these guys are well past 30 already (well, Bivol is 28 but he won't fight any of the other three champions for years to come, most probably).

Maybe, just maybe (the chances are rather slim), especially if ESPN demands big fights from TR, we will get Gvozdyk vs. Beterbiev. But even the time (summer and the start of autumn) is wrong for such a big fight.

 

The BS will continue. Like it or Not.

 

Beterbiev has already busted up Bivol in sparring.

 

Yeah, these four have been circle jerking forever now.

 

The fans are allowing these guys to duck each other, if these were Haymon fighters they would get abused for the way there are able to fight around each other. Beterbiev seems to be the most willing, these guys won’t make good money otherwise, they need each other and to be in the enthralling fights that fans clamouring for. If any division needs a WBSS it’s this and they would be smart too all sign up.

 

they are just keeping the belts warm until Callum Smith moves up and takes all the marbles

 

It's getting old fast now.
175 and 147 are among the strongest divisions out there, and it seems the top 4 just outright refuse to fight eachother.
Please let that 175 WBSS tourney happen what they were talking about. Spanking the Barrera's, Smith's, Pascal's and Ngumbu's of this world gets old fast.
