After this result, it's high likely next fight we will see Bivol fight with Canelo first and then Bivol might taking challenge to fight with Beterbiev.
That's the same situation I'm thinking, Canelo is likely to have that rematch happen after Bivol got his victory over Ramirez, it will be a money fight for sure that is why it's so likely that it will happen and Canelo has nothing to lose anymore because Bivol already defeated him, but I'm inclined that the outcome would be pretty much the same. Bivol is really too much for Canelo, there's no denying about that.
Well, what I have thought is that Bivol has nothing to do with Canelo, for now I think he does not want revenge, what he is looking for is to enter the biggest, be recognized and have a lot of fame, that is why he cannot to be from revenge to revenge, he is only looking for the fights that can raise his level, for me what he wants is not to earn a little money but a lot, and this is achieved with great fame, he is also Russian and since all the restrictions that there are currently for this type of athlete due to the situation in the world, I think he wants to position himself very well.
It is very easy for him to have a rematch, and he does not show much, because he has already defeated Canelo, perhaps it is expected that more fights will happen for both him and Canelo, Canelo has to do things better and that is something that he must demonstrate, while tatoél continues in his thinking.
First off, why do Bivol need any revenge? He is still undefeated and so he doesn't have any beef with anyone to make a revenge. Canelo is the one who is looking for a revenge because Bivol did defeat him last May but I wouldn't call it as a revenge fight because is not that conflicted nor stripped any of his title as he was just a guest in Bivol's category. It's going to be a money game that is why I know this rematch will happen soon.
Yes, Bivol doesn't need any revenge, he won the fight very clear and still undefeated. It's more on the side of Canelo, because he had a incredible run leading up to the Bivol lost and that's why he is very eager to avenge his defeat.
But shall see, with Bivol winning against Ramirez, he solidify his numbers already.
Although I'm looking at what could be the PPV numbers in his fight against Ramirez in the Middle East. A good gauge on how much money, besides the guarantee price will Bivol pocket in his fight against Ramirez.
No, it's not that he's looking for revenge, what happens is that right now Bivol has another vision of many things, he already retained his title, I don't think Bivol wants to go back to fight Canelo, the truth is I don't see him there, However, I don't know if there is a clause that forces him to fight against him, it is something that occurs to me, I don't know if it is necessary, Bivol is looking for better, isn't it moving up in category? So he earns much more money than he can earn against Canelo. In my personal opinion, I think that when a boxer moves up in category, he becomes much more interesting for everyone, both for sponsors and for the boxers themselves.
Did Bivol really said that he can make 168 lbs?
Below is an article by boxingscene which talked on Bivol moving down in weight but i personally watched his interview after the fight talking that he doesn't have any problem making the 175 lbs in fact before making the scales he ate a little which most boxers don't have the luxury. His sight is on the undisputed belt but a fight with Beterbiev is a slim possibility for now but he can be undisputed if he can beat Canelo at 168 lbs.
https://www.boxingscene.com/bivol-on-possible-canelo-rematch-168-four-belts-its-interesting-175-my-weight--170307I heard many times even before his fight with Canelo that he is not having problems making the weight. Maybe because Bivol is a small light heavyweight. Although I also read news saying Bivol has no problems making the 168 limits, we already knew he can, it is obvious because there are many 168 fighters that are taller than him. Bivol's frame is not big either unlike Artur Beterbiev who's short but his frame is so huge.
Without a Beterbiev fight, Bivol's biggest fight when it comes to legacy is Canelo at 168. I think he will beat Canelo at 168.
Ok, but I think it will be suicide for him to make 168 lbs and just 'bow' down on the pressures from Canelo's camp for them to have the fight in super middleweight.
If he really wanted in his career to be 168 lbs, then he should have first tested this weight. However, it is not the case, he started at Light Heavyweight and that is the weight that he chooses. This is just me, Bivol should carry it and fight at his career best weight not on Canelo.
But let's see how this fight will go, there are a lot of factors to be considered, I believed.
It's just that I think that Bivol doesn't want to fight Canelo, that's something very obvious and I think it's because of what I've said before, he wants to seek fame and wants to earn more money, it's something that anyone would do.
I think many people want the fight against Canelo, but I don't see it as necessary, here the one who has to look for the fight with Bivol having many victories is Canelo himself, I don't see Bivol but moving up in category to begin to measure himself with the greatest, That's how I see the Russian, of course all this has an or uqé, and that why can be translated into having more interesting fights to win much more money.
