Shakur Stevenson believes that the fight between the undisputed heavyweight champion Dmitryjum Bivol and the obligatory David Benavidez is currently one of the “biggest fights” that can be made in boxing.

When Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) crossed Artur Beterbavera last Saturday evening with a 12-round decision of the majority in Riyadh, he inherited the mandatory WBC Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO), which is a great problem due to its high performance, power, chin, chin, youth and fearlessness.

“Benavidez vs. Bivol is there with the best fights that can be made in boxing sport, “said Shakur Stevenson to Ring magazine About the fight, which he thinks is currently one of the best.

Bivol options

It is not a surprise that Bivol promoters in Matchroom focus on other fights for him and it is possible that if the World Boxing Council tries to force his hand, the belt will be thrown. In this way, Bivol can realize easier fights that will pay well.

Turki Alalshikh will decide who Bivol stands with, but the promoter Eddie Hearn has a great impact on him because of their friendship. If Hearn decides to jump on Benavidez forever, he can do it by sacrificing the WBC belt or ignoring him.

WBC allowed popular warriors to stop on their lanes without ordering them to defend the belt. Bivol is popular enough to get around his mandatory WBC and fight anyone who likes it, whether Beterbiev, Canelo Alvarez or Callum Smith. These are the large three, which Hearn recently mentioned as fighters that Bivol is interested in.

What makes it even less likely that Benavidez will have a chance to fight Bivol is his previous success. In an interview, he revealed him that he lit him with a 20-bother and that he approached the fall. Benavidez says that after the round he was told that he would not let him pair Bivol again.

Terenka Crawford showed his greater figure and movements, which he plans to exploit when he raises two divisions from 154 to 168 to challenge WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middle Wich Champion Canelo Alvarez [or perhaps four] Titles on September 13 in Las Vegas.

Avoidance tactics

Still looking like a younger medium weight, Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) today showed a lot of movement in its tiny training clip. It is believed that it will be larger, stronger and younger Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) to stay outside the fire line. Fans of ignorance of Crawford’s career know him mainly from the fight against Errol Spence and they mistakenly believe that he always fought aggressively in this way.

Crawford was not fighting. He was simply aggressive in this one fight, because he faced a sluggish, tired weight, broken up by the car version of Spence, which was an uncomplicated victim. Usually Crawford fights, as he did against Israil Madrimov, boxing, playing chess and making it uninteresting.

Terena will sit for a year, not fighting than to move to 168 to fight one of the best pretenders, such as Olsleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli. If he did this, he could remain sharply, acclimatize to the Super Middle Wweight Division and show the fans that it is not only about obtaining a retirement withdrawal.

For boxing fans who have their heads on the shoulders, this is the only conclusion that you can draw. Crawford says that he moves to 168 to fight Canelo for heritage, to prove its size, but first does not fight in the division.

Heritage or money?

What’s more, he plans to leave the 168 pounds division after retiring or returning to 154. This makes it seem obvious that it is about money. If Crawford does not do it for money, why will he not take tuning at 168 first?

It would be great for people who order this event at PPV if Crawford came to fight rather than run on the ring, like a 154-pit Jermell Charlo, when he moved at 14 pounds to challenge Canelo’s challenge for belts in 2023. Jermell was like a larger, stronger version of Crawford, but he did not want to not mix it with Alvarez after in combat early. He spent most of the fight in motion, running and the fans were furious.

Crawford showed no power in his move to 154 of August 147 last year against Israil Madrimov, and his face looked badly dressed at the end of the fight. It was almost as bad as Vergil Ortiz Jr’s face when he fought Madrimov last Saturday.

Vergil Jr. He did a better job, defeating Madrimov than Crawford, but he was younger and more willing to get involved. Crawford fought defensively and still had many penalties.

From Terenka Crawford, apparently good on the way to a superfigure with the only Canelo Alvarez, the airy phenomena of Gervont “Tank” Davis has several things to say about this. “Crawford needs money,” he said directly for reporters (courtesy of ES News) on the eve of his Saturday fight against Lamont Roach in Brooklyn Barclay’s Center. Although it is true that neither Crawford nor Davis have been the best buddies lately, Davis went beyond accusations of Crawford who needed money.

“He was cut by Gambo,” Davis continued. “What does the fuck look so sturdy throughout all these years?” The question, as fans of solemn fighting would know, was advisable, a statement that suggested that Crawford used the efficiency strengthening drugs. “He was not cut or anything,” Davis added. “It’s such shit.” SNAC, led by a Victor Conte dietitian, is used by many distinguished fighters due to conditioning tools. Conte, this should be said, once he went to prison for trying to distribute forbidden substances, as well as money laundering.

Since then, the man argued that he changed his paths, devoting himself to making fighters in perfect shape in a immaculate way. Apparently Davis doesn’t buy an argument. However, fighters such as Crawford, Claress Shields and Shaw Porter worked with Conte. It is also worth causing the fact that none of these fighters tested sullied. Given this, Davis can play – or try to play – here mental games. Such tactics are a certain way to pay attention. They can also raise interest in upcoming events, such as the main Pay Per View event on Saturday evening in Brooklyn.

Although Roach is nothing, if not a talented professional, he is not expected to beat Davis dazzling in the ring. In the end, Davis fights like a dynamo, with thunderous blows, the speed of raising the eyebrows and the liquidity that most boxers would like to have for themselves. Given that the fight against Roach will cost about eighty dollars so that fans can watch, Davis may be willing to submit attention in advance.

Although these are not great fans – at least not on the surface of things – it is clear that Davis and Crawford are extremely high quality fighters. Now, fighting in Super Middle weight, Crawford will probably always be too substantial to face a airy Davis. Perhaps that is why the fight is conducted in brilliant media lights instead of the prize ring.
