    Bivol didn't take the rematch so Beterbiev is fighting on the Benavidez undercard. Should they both win I could see a call out as Beterbiev is without a title now.

    With his injuries Beterbiev is forty going on sixty-two. Benavidez power didn't seem to move up with him and he gets hit quite a bit.

    An odd match up.

    Who takes it?

    Benavidez TKO. Target practice.

    Beterbiev is getting too old

    I like Benavidez by decsion. Beterbiev of 7-8 years ago would have taken Benavidez apart.

    Beterbiev of a few years ago would have too.

    There's a reason Canelo ducked Benevidez, the same one causing Bivol to duck him as well. I give Beterbiev a pass as he's too old to fight him now
