Jim Lampley, a long -term voice of HBO boxing, is pursuing in praise for the competition between Dmitryjum Bivol and Artur Beterbiew.

Bivol won on Saturday a rematch from Beterbaview through the decision of the majority, two judges who see her 116-112 and 115-113, while the third one even had it in 114-114, which is the opposite of identical results in favor of Beterbaiew in the first fight.

Lampley, appearing At the Ariel Helwani show About conversations His upcoming bookHe noticed the equality of competition, but also the action – something that many would say, do not compare themselves to the best battles in history.

“People ask me:” Does it grow to Gatti-Ward and Barrera-Morale levels in terms of combat intensity? “-said Lampley. “I say that.”

Lampley said that he would be open to Bivol, who would fight the remaining remaining contender, instead of entering directly into a rubber match with Beterbał.

“It’s sincere to go to [David] Benavidez is fighting, “Lampley said. “Not all trilogies must take place 1-2-3, in the next order.”

Indeed, Muhammad Ali fought 13 times between his first and the second matches with Joe Frazier, and another four times before Hell’s “Transfa in Manila”. Evander Holyfield took a ephemeral fight between his first and second duel with Riddick Bowe and the two more between the second and third (although his trilogy with John Ruiz, half a decade later, was 1-2-3).

While Benavidez was in a super medium weight, he was refused to fight the “Canelo” Saul Alvarez. Benavidez deserved the title shot among pounds for the best pounds with victories over Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade at 168 pounds, as well as Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Morrell in 175.

Whether Bivol and Beterbavów fought for the third time, then Benavidez would have to take a side or backward step to fight Callum Smith or other opponent. Smith defeated Joshua Batsi on Undercard Beterbaviev-Bivol II to win the ephemeral WBO title. This, like the secondary stripes of WBA and WBC, which is the owner of Benavidez, has him in line as a compulsory pretender for Bivol, a novel unquestioned master. Michael Eifert, lightweight massive weight IBF No. 1, also awaits a shot.

“These two guys [Bivol and Beterbiev] They gave themselves a lot and showed their commitment to the fight against the two fights that they fought with each other, said Lampay. “If any of them wants to pay attention to another fight and get involved in another enterprise, I definitely support it. They must have the right to rule their career as they want. “

The latter line is contrary to something that Beterbiv said after a rematch, when he was asked if he wanted the trilogy: “I didn’t even want a rematch. It wasn’t my choice. “

If Beterbiev and Bivol are to fight for the third time and maintain the quality of their competition, time is significant for Beterbaview, who at the age of 40 did not close the rematch as much as in the first fight and could still refuse and could reject.

Lampley also feels fine with the trilogy: “If we go to the third fight between Beterbiev and Bivol, I’m ready for it too.”
