Did Bivol duck (and age out) Beterbiev until now?

Since you're so insistent that Bivol ducked Beterbiev, show me the receipts. Show me how Bivol ducked Beterbiev instead of falling back on the same tired old "7 years".

 

You have the receipts already.

June 2017 Bivol picks up a title.
October 2024 Bivol faces the number 1 LHW in the division.

It's really simple.

 

So you have nothing. That's what I thought.

 

"Show how you worked out the hypotenuse without falling back on the same tired old Pythagoras"

 

Of course he did. Seven years not fighting through top fighter in your division is inexcusable and down right tragic.

 

When it comes to age i feel Beterbiev is a bit like Donaire,i don't think age will make much difference in this one.

 

Beterbiev hasn't taken a lot of damage, nevertheless, it's tragic this fight to seven ****ing years to make.

 

There is no instance of Bivol turning down a fight against Beterbiev. None.

Bivol ducked Beterbiev as much as Beterbiev ducked Bivol. So if you’re going blame Bivol, you should also be blaming Beterbiev.

 

Why did neither fight Kovalev?

 

It's very hard to believe Beterbiev wanted to wait until he was forty to unify. It's also unlikely he fears anyone in the division since he is typically the KO-er.

None of these punchers fear boxers and usually believe they can eventually catch them and win.
However there's a history of point fighters / boxers avoiding the big punchers and ageing threats.

A fight would never take this long to make if both really wanted it.

It's hard to prove conclusively but the logical answer is that Bivol has been dodging it.

 

Ask Kovalev about Beterbiev lil man.

 

Did they spar or something? I'm genuinely asking why none of them fought.

 

I even remember team Bivol was saying that money was not right to fight Beterbiev, altough they were always saying that legacy>money.


I hope Bivol loses, his trainer and team are frauds

 

Beterbiev was dominating him, Kovalev still salty about that
