    Which fight do you think makes the most sense for Bivols next fight after beating Beterbiev?

    Rubber match against Beterbiev, rematch Canelo, or David Benavidez?

    Canelo is an ugly egotistic ginger midget, he should retire in shame.

    Benavidez first then Canelo

    The rematch would be huge and very profitable for Bivol.

    Benavidez. Bivol got robbed the first time against Beterbiev, and now that chapter is closed. Canelo... lol.

    Beterbiev 3, because it'll be a bigger paycheck than Benavidez.

    Benavidez. Winner must fight Beterbiev. So we either get the trilogy or a new fight and Benavidez has a chance to start building a legit resume.

    That will take another year and Beterbiev will be too old by then.

    Let him beat beterbiev again
    He is already 2-0, but he deserves the chance to be the official winner

    Beterbiev will not win the rubber match even with his 'supplements'

    Beterbiev 3. He'll probably lose a belt to make that fight.

    First defence against Benavidez who'll be WBC then.

    Then see Canelo for an easy payday.

    Like it or not, Canelo is still the Face of Boxing. Why would Bivol deprive himself of another win and a massive payday?

    I did as a fan, but read recent posts. I rewatched the fight with a clear head and scored it for bivol. I was biased in the first fight
    Bivol won twice

    Have you never gave the fighter you wanted to win the benefit of the doubt?

    I scored it differently when I watched it again and said as much last week and before

    Bivol is better

    Has to be the trilogy Beterbiev is too old for the rubber match to be delayed. He simply doesn't have the time to leave it until he's 41. Benavidez is young.

    The sport needs sone of these great trilogies

    How's about Benavidez Vs Clenelo for the right to challenge the king?
