    It's good that Beterbiev stays active, but it's bad for Nicholson because he'll be brutally knocked out...

    The thing is, one of the few fights that actually matter for Bivol and the division, him vs Benavidez, didnt happen due to the priority the trilogy was supposed to have.

    So that premier fight fell through for nothing.

    He should either retire, or move up and fight Badou Jack, it makes percect sense, Beterbiev is old, but Jack is older and Beterbiev would also have the size advantage.

    If Benavidez and Beterbiev are fighting in fairly one-sided match ups on paper on the same card, they should literally be fighting each other instead?

    Early Beterbiev KO.

    Benavidez is fighting Yarde.

    Agree with this 100%

    Benavidez and Beterbiev need to swap opponents

    Flip side is that Beterbiev KOs Benavidez and thus disappears Benavidez's so called aura, status and all the hype associated with him and Bivol runs away even more

    If Beterbiev KOs Benavidez, it would age Bivol's win really well but yeah it wouldn't suprise me if Bivol is hoping to age out Beterbiev.
