When it’s a fight like this.. a 3rd fight is always welcome.

Did Beterbiev just let slip that he never wanted a second fight, but he'll do the trilogy too if he (his excellency) asks for it

I swear boxrec algorithm peaked 5 or 6 years ago…

I don't know if my heart can handle a third fight.
Seems like the most logical thing to do, but I'd welcome other fights for those two.

what are the odds on bivol vs cal smith, 'amateur bad blood' or some sheeyat like that. does hearn still promote smith

Sky were on Beterbiev’s dick at the start and now they on Bivol’s

I'm glad to finally have DAZN and be back in the game talking about the fights with you's guys. I've definitely missed being able to watch Boxing on the weekends.

Thanks everybody for your consistent RBR, keeping me informed on the goings on of the sport while I've been lost in the wilderness, and not able to follow the sport in real time.

Bivol will stop Beterbiev next time

It was discussed few years back.

I remember Bivol said he’d go down to 168

If Canelo gets by Crawford later this year. I'd love to see Canelo vs Beterbiev personally. I'm not sure if Canelo would want that, but I know I'd be down for it.

Benavidez vs Bivol would be great.

Benavidez vs Beterbiev would be great

Bivol vs Beterbiev 3 would be perfectly acceptable, and another close, hard fought battle between 2 excellent fighters. I think I'm personally good on seeing these guys fight each other for at least this calendar year, but ya know...we'll see how it goes.

They know who they are. Eddie's a great promoter. some folks don't like that.

Surely that's out the window now that he's the Boss at 175.

I agree. I'd take all these fights.

Talksport radio all had Bert winning or a draw. I fell asleep before the final fight but managed to listen to the radio the last few rounds

I think a third is not necessary. 1 each, Bert retires, Bivol has fought enough of this monster

Biv needs to move on.

Personally I've seen Bivol outfight Beterbiev both times, in different ways. Not that Beterbiev couldn't still run the table on the rest on the division.

Who else gives Bivol a tough fight.

We see him coast through fights without going up in gears.

Who gets him up for a good challenge.

at most benavidez, no one else would give him a go and i think he may be able to handle bena comfortably as well, not as impressed with ben at 175 even though he's obviously good

no canelo rematch for me, really do not like all these rematches of clear wins, that fight coulda been scored 118-110

although i guess now that canelo is signed with the saudis we may be seeing it

They now have Parker ahead of Fury and Joshua

tbf parker over those two is quite defendable these days

100%

No issue with that.

You reckon? You are usually very good at scoring. Maybe I saw it a bit wrong - I am at 115-113 in favour of Bivol.

Well, was watching in a pub with my view obscured... It made sense to me, but looking through other scores on here it seems I was a little off.

The answer is virtually no one. Beterbiev is a relentless monstrous fighter up against an exceptional box mover. Both are exceptional dance partners.

When trying measure either fighter at this weight we will have to conjure mythicaal matchups.
