The 'Is Bivol is ducking Benavidez' thread

As things stand Beterbiev might be the relatively easier fight have got 24 rounds of data on him as well as more financially lucrative fight as his Excellency is prepared to pay a fortune for it again out of sync with the true market value. Benavidez is a tough nights work for anybody.

 

Plus Turki froze him out too so he has an axe to grind

 

If Bivol fights Beterbiev for the 3rd straight time he is ducking Benavidez.,

 

I think you're a bit simple

 

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, yeah that's simple. It's simple he'd rather fight an old man who's not going to get better instead of a younger bigger opponent in his prime.

 

Tim Tszyu is mates with Benavidez he even said at the post fight presser that he copied Benavidez style with the fast combinations to stop Spencer.

 

Yeah this is just stupid. Everyone knew the third fight had to happen, including Benavidez. You could accuse Bivol of ducking Beterbiev if he didn't take the third fight, but if he doesn't fight a non-title holder who has only had a couple of fights at light heavy that can't be said. Swap Benavidez' name with anyone else, Bivol would have done the same thing to give Turki and the fans the trilogy. Bivol shouldn't have to entertain such ridiculous notions, say what you want about him but he has never ducked anyone. If Benavidez' wanted to claim Bivol is ducking him it would just detract from his valid claims of Canelo ducking him. Anyone who says Bivol is ducking doesn't understand that they are making Benavidez look bad, as if he is a professional victim.

 

link?

It does not to happen next though, and once your mando gets ordered and you get offered a huge purse to fight in vegas on PPV, its a very lucrative option. There was no contract for the 3rd fight either. Its a pure option.

 

Did he? Thats damn cool lol

 

Yeah he said he had been watching clips of Benavidez the night before his fight with Spencer.
It was pointed out that when Tszyu has a guy hurt he will load up and whale on them like he did to Harrison but this time he used hard fast combinations similar to what Benavidez does.

 

Tszyu is kind of a loser. He has said dumb PBC jockstrap stuff in the past.

Hope he stays focused on his own career cause I like watching him

 

Really? You think not having the third fight was ever an option? 1-1 in two close fights with Turki financing it and Beterbiev getting towards the end? Bivol was meant to walk away from that and fight a mandatory instead? Yes, technically Bivol didn't have to take the third fight but in reality (for the money, his fans, his legacy, his warrior spirit) he had no choice. Bivol would have been rightly panned if he didn't give Beterbiev the opportunity he was given by Beterbiev. The reality is that he could have ducked Beterbiev for Benavidez, but in no world can he be accused of ducking Benavidez for completing the trilogy. Deal with the reality, not technicalities. It was absolutely not an option. Dropping the belt for Benavidez to pick up by default also makes the eventual Bivol-Benavidez fight more lucrative and interesting. Is Bivol the sort of fighter to duck anyone or be afraid of anyone? Stop that nonsense.

 

You must be new to boxing. You seem think trilogy's are mandatory or something, it was just an option no contract. Bivol and Beterbiev both got paid under 3 million. PBV offered 8m for Benavidez. If you think Suliaman is on video casually lying about empirical facts, that could be proven false very easily, then I'm not sure what else to say.
