If Bivol wins then there is zero cause to discredit the win, he will have beat the WBC,IBF, and WBO champion, so will then hold all the belts. likewise if Beterbiev wins he deserves all the plaudits. The best two lightheavyweights are fighting each other, that is to be praised not discredited.
"Bivol should have taken it." But why not Beterbiev? I might me out of loop here, but I don“t recall Top Rank chasing that fight either. But thats modern boxing for us. Rival promotions on rival networks are costing us great fights.
Agreed. Beterbiev is still tough and will have a huge size advantage over Bivol. All The guys predicting an Artie KO will say Bivol was too young, Beterbiev too old. Bull****! These two are the best on the planet at 175 and Bivol can probably still drop down to 168 if Canelo wants another boxing lesson.
