^^ Not really sure what do you mean by not interested, Canelo is still the cash cow of boxing, so whoever he fight next, will definitely make a lot of money. And maybe Bivol can double on what he get during their first fight as he already beat Canelo at 175. Now there is a scenario that might interested Bivol, that is to fight Canelo as his super middle weight class, which means that Canelo will have to put all his belt on the line. So the stakes are high and Bivol might not resists it because it's going to be a win-win situation for him. And if by chance he beat Canelo twice, then he will be a double belt champion at 168 lbs and his 175 lbs. And Canelo wanted to get his revenge against Bivol, we totally didn't expect that he will lost to Bivol.

Not guess but he should've pick Bivol instead of Beterbiev because Bivol will be his redemption if ever he can rule an upset in the fight, it might be hard for him considering that Canelo just beat him easily but he should endure it and give an upset towards the champion if he still wanted his name to be in the top of this weight class. Fighting against Beterbiev is nonsense because I really don't believe that he a slightest chance against the 3-belt champ. Callum Smith picked an opponent that will end his career much earlier and will add an embarrassment to his existence in the industry, that's for sure.

These are the things that I don't understand in boxing either,for me it should also be Bivol, but I think that this type of decision has a lot to do with the business model that generates more money,if with Beterbiev they generate more, then that is the primary reason.

In these times there are fights that sometimes are not within the normal context , not only this one, there are others that do not make sense to me, but I think that now things are moving much more towards what generates more money, the boxing is now more focused in that direction.


Well, about that, I'm not also sure whether Beterbiev can attract more audience than Bivol or if it is the latter who can attract more versus the 3-belt champ. In Callum Smith's case, I don't think it's all about the money because he can still have it by having few more fights in the future but Callum chose Beterbiev because it's the only way he can redeem himself even if it's a big risks on his career, surely if he can manage to upset Beterbiev, it will open new opportunities on his side although that's not really likely.
Well, I am very inclined towards Bivol because he is a boxer who wants to be a winner, and taking into consideration that he is Russian and that by all means they will try to silence him, I think that this part makes him more famous and fame is what that he wants, and if he gives it to him, he would be fulfilling one of his objectives, the Russian's final objective is to have enough money so that he can have a full life, and I know that boxing can give it to him, he wants belts, he wants fame, all that calls for is money and what better way to do it than with what he knows how to do best, boxing opens the doors to a great life.

I don't think Canelo though is like avoiding him, it is just Benavidez at this point in his career hasn't beaten anyone to deserved a Canelo shot specially at the super middleweight wherein Canelo clean that division already. While Canelo seems to be looking to cement his legacy, Benavidez is climbing and looking for fight that will give him the biggest paycheck.

Benavidez even thinks that he can really beat Canelo at the point of his career that's why he worked hard in getting to where he is now.

He's really aiming for Canelo, and that's what fueled his determination to take down Caleb Plant at the bad and worst situation as possible.

Just less than a day waiting and we will now witness the fight between Benavidez and Plant main event, March 25th.

Benavidez manage to beat Plant via decision, unexpectedly but yes Plant survive the entire rounds but lose the fight in a 3 judges decision all in favor of Benavidez, now it will be a good hypes for this heavy puncher monster to call for Alvarez though we know that it will be a negotiation between two camps and how the promoters will bring the offers to attract both camps to sign a contract.

Congrats to all those bettors who bets and win the main event between Plant vs Benavidez!

Alvarez is too busy, LOL, he had John Ryder in his plate right now and then a Bivol rematch. yes, we want to see Alvarez vs Benadivez, all Mexican brawl but Canelo will not give him that fight for now.

On the other hand, might be good for Benavidez to just continue his reign of terror as co-champion with Alvarez at the WBC body.

Maybe he will have this chance later or next year, just keep a busy year and fight someone in the top 3 of their rankings like Christian Mbilli  to proved his case against Alvarez.

Alvarez vs Benavidez will not happen if Alvarez losses to Ryder or Bivol. Benavidez winning against Plant may give a higher possibility for Alvarez-Benavidez fight but as you stated, there is a lot on the plate of Alvarez right now.  We might see them fighting after a year or two, probably if Alvarez is able to retain his title.

Of course, the only reason why David Benavidez is interested to Canelo is because the latter got all the belts and it's not a personal vendetta or what that we could somehow say that regardless of the outcome of Canelo's future battle, Benavidez will always want to get his chance but that's not the case. Benavidez is seeking for the belts and whoever got that will surely be chased by him, even if that means chasing Bivol as he already stated recently that he is also eyeing for the WBA champion, Dmitry Bivol.

Everybody wants to get a chance to face a champ, every tough guy aims for the biggest prize to get fame. Canelo is fixed on Bivol though. It's the rematch that he wants.

Fans always want Canelo to fight someone after defeating one but this time he is the one who is asking. If he is going to be defeated by Benavidez, Canelo might not ever have the chance to fight Bivol.


What happens is that Bivol is not very interested in fighting Canelo, he already beat him once, and well, just as Canelo begs Benavidez, well, Bivol also applies it to him, I say something, here the boxers should fight and that's it It doesn't matter who it is against, if they challenge you or want a rematch, you have to give it to them and win them so they see that the first time they beat them it wasn't luck, boxers shouldn't make themselves begged, both Canelo, Benavidez and Bivol are in the same sport, they must respond to its challenges, they should not be forced by a clause.

If Canelo really wants to avenge his loss, he shouldn't waste time and should fight Bivol after his upcoming fight. I'm pretty sure he will win, and his preparation should be enough as he has already won fights (including this one) after his loss against Bivol. Anyone who fights Canelo will make a lot of money as he is a popular fighter, so it wouldn't be hard to sell the fight.

It sounded like you are underestimating Dmitry Bivol, I really think that Dmitry Bivol is more technical than Canelo Alvarez, but we will see when they fight again because I have seen the style of Canelo is still the same, but he is not getting younger so if he wants to have a revenge fight against Dmitry Bivol he should just take that because this opportunity is once in a lifetime, that is if he's ready to risk a lost status again,

I am sure that Canelo wants to fight Bivol as soon as possible and try to recover some of the prestige he lost with that defeat, but if we are honest Bivol dominated that fight clearly with his superior boxing technique, so if Canelo wants to have a chance to defeat him he needs to improve his boxing ability and learn how to fight against an opponent that has a longer reach than him, can he do it? Who knows, but I want to see him try.

We don't know what will be the next destination for Canelo after the fight against Ryder, maybe he will choose what's the best money maker for him, as for now, Bivol for me can bring more hypes after he suffered a lost against the champ, rematch might be set up between the two and if that's the case and if ever Alvarez will win the chance for Benavidez to face him will be delayed.

All will be decided after the fight of Canelo and we will hear an update for sure if what's the camp next plan for the champ!

Yup! Dmitry Bivol is a good hype and a lot of money in my opinion, but it is a big risk to take a Dmitry Bivol fight again, and people are wanting more of him when he defeats John Ryder if he defeats John Ryder, I think David Benavidez is good money aswell, I think that guy has many onlookers now since he defeats Plant many will really expect a Canelo Alvarez VS David Benavidez, fight

Canelo had his hand operation in October and had Improved a lot from the Surgery.His coach also discussed about this,the Canelo will back to form before the Mexico matches.In Mexico matches,he will face the Ryder for the second time.Bivol had won the Canelo and Canelo had a wish to win the Bivol on the Mexico league too.When the match of Canelo with Ryder,he can easily able to win the good amount of money from that match.He should use the match very well to gain good money for his future settlement.The money earning options against Bivol will not work for him in this Mexico match.

What second time? this is not a rematch with Ryder, this is the first time that we will be facing this fighter in Mexico. And as most of the posters said, this is tune up fight, get busy fight, cherry pick fight or whatever you describe it.

Again, we are just getting ahead of ourselves, Canelo wanted a rematch with Bivol but we don't know if that will be happening in Mexico in the future. He had this easy fight in his home country, so let's leave it like that and then see how Canelo's performance after his hand surgery.

We don't know how his hands will be unless we see him fight John Ryder. Of course, they chose him because it's going to be an easy fight for Canelo and to really test and feel that hand first in this fight. And maybe after that he will have to decide if they will go or at least Bivol is wiling for a rematch with Canelo.

Speaking of David Benavidez, his team specially his father wanted a clash with Canelo.

David said Canelo need to test himself against fighter of his caliber. And for him, with a win against Plant, he deserves to be the next in line for Canelo after his John Ryder fight.

Because Bivol may had a chance to win the Canelo and doesn’t have own strategy to win the Ryder.Because Ryder is like a King to ruin both the reputation of the Canelo and Bivol.Better you can place the bet on Ryder on both the matches against the Ryder.

We will see his fate after winning the fight against Plant, he got that interim ticket to challenge Canelo we just need to wait for Alvarez response after the fight against Ryder,  and I can agree to your sentiment regarding to Benavidez, he wants the belt and he will do his best to earn it, whoever the title holder as long as they will accept his challenge then it will take place.

Canelo has no choice but to accept the supposed deal with Benavidez regardless of anything.

However, even with Benavidez winning against Plant recently, it seems that Benavidez didn't really call the attention of Canelo. There are even speculations that Canelo vs Bivol II is much more anticipated by most boxing fans as they think Benavidez can easily be handled by Canelo and the former is just full of talks.

Regardless though, Canelo's camp maybe has to consider granting Benavidez interest for a long of facing Canelo and just settles everything in the actual fight.

Benavidez is rank no.1 on Ring and an interim champion on WBC.  If we look at it, Benavidez has two councils where he can be a mandatory challenger.  So if anyone who is the most worth opponent for Alvarez in terms of challenging him for the title, then it is Benavidez.  Sadly as other stated, it looks like Alvarez eyes is fixed on avenging his lost from Bivol so Alvarez might be fighting Bivol next after this title defense.

Let see what will be the next update for Benavidez after this win.

Yeah, that is all we can do, just wait for the updates because each boxer have their own plans, we just hope that their plan coincides with each other.

Message @Hhampuz if you are looking for a CM!

Technically, that should be the case.

However, there are things that might influence a supposed fight. Canelo sticks to his quote before that he will never face a fellow Mexican although, at some point in his past interview, he added that if things really can't avoid, he will fight anybody. He might consider facing Benavidez in the future as the latter earned his spot to be eligible to face Canelo.

Ah, that is why many are saying Canelo is ducking Benavidez, it s not because he is afraid of Benavidez but the statement he made before that he does not want to fight his fellow Mexican unless is avoidable.  It does make sense now why there is almost no chance for Canelo and Benavidez unless mandated by the sanctioning bodies.

Moving forward, Benavidez is determined to beat Caleb Plant for the possible face-off with Canelo later on. And if Canelo will still insists on not fighting Benavidez because of his view about fighting fellow Mexicans, no choice but to drop his belt or there might be some boxing-related politics that will ruin the possibility of that match happening.

If Benavidez beat Caleb, the super middleweight boxing will be more interesting because there is a chance that WBC might implement a mandatory title fight between Benavidez and Canelo.  I think Canelo will give in to the order and fight Benavidez.

The truth is, I would like Canelo to be able to face Benavidez, also, as Canelo is, he should accept the challenge, I don't understand why some boxers have to beg so much, Canelo wants to fight with everyone and in the end he doesn't fight with anyone, I understand that Canelo He wants to measure himself with the best, but if the others already have their commitments, a Famous boxer should not be with those things, he should have enough Conviction of what he is and what they have, There is no other way.


I agree. The governing bodies should step up and meddle in in these situations because they are the only ones who can fix the system because there are lots of good boxers that are waiting for their time to shine and it may take much more than a while to have their chance because these champions are keeping the belt at safe while only fighting cherry-picked fights. These interim champions should be given the priority to have a bite against the regular belt holder because they thrived hard to be in the exact position where they are in now. Just look at the welterweight division, there are a lot of good names there but they cannot move because Spence is taking their chance away and messing with everybody's time.

Big fight this weekend as Anthony Joshua takes on Jermaine Franklin.

Who would you bet on?
I don't think it's a big fight, Jermaine Franklin is an unknown boxer in heavyweight division. This is just a warm up for Joshua since he have lost two times against Usyk and he can't get back his belts.

It's obvious Joshua will win, but the moneyline odds is really small. It's only profitable if you bet Joshua to win via decision or you bet on winner & round range option, but it's quite unpredictable. His few recent fights, he knock out his opponent at 7-9 round range and 10-12 round range.

Big fight this weekend as Anthony Joshua takes on Jermaine Franklin.

Who would you bet on?

AJ in his fight with Usyk was slow and not aggressive enough. In the second fight, I expected him to do better than the first fight, but it was almost the same showing. I hope he has learnt some lessons from that defeat and improved his fighting technique. It's been long that AJ has enjoyed victory, he lost two fights to Usyk. I am scared for AJ because his career could most likely end from this fight if he losses to the American Jermaine so I expect he will be putting in his best because a win in this fight for him will make some other fights more possible, fight with Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder which they have plans for. For Jermaine, this is a big fight for him, he will not make things easy for AJ even though he is the underdog in this fight. I still will bet on AJ to win, he really needs this victory, maybe that will make him aggressive.

As far as Commey vs Ramirez, it was a clear win by Ramirez as he knockout Richard in the 11th round, and as I have said previously, Ramirez is going to break him down up to round 10 and that's what happen here, before the knockout, Commey went down first, beat the count, unfortunately it's just a matter of time before Ramirez goes for the finisher.

And I guess that's it for Commey, had a good and solid career, but I guess he is way past his prime already and he could damage his health if he chases big fights at 140 as this division is very loaded with good and talented fighters. It was a great fight though between the two, Commey really tried his best and even have good rounds. But at the end of the day, Ramirez is too big for him.

Yes, Comney has nothing to offer in this fight, I mean sure he was a former champion, but when face a tough opposition he usually falter. Teo Lopez, he got KO, Loma was down in round 7 and lost in the card, Pedraza, draw, and now against Ramirez another KO.

So he is just really a B-level fighter in my card, it's maybe the opportunity for him was presented, that's why he become a champion.

This is not his weight category, he will get the worst beating if he will face another champion in 140 lbs or even any high rank fighter in this class.

Maybe he will have this chance later or next year, just keep a busy year and fight someone in the top 3 of their rankings like Christian Mbilli  to proved his case against Alvarez.

Alvarez vs Benavidez will not happen if Alvarez losses to Ryder or Bivol. Benavidez winning against Plant may give a higher possibility for Alvarez-Benavidez fight but as you stated, there is a lot on the plate of Alvarez right now.  We might see them fighting after a year or two, probably if Alvarez is able to retain his title.
