Aww here the fxck we go:mjlol:

Please tell us more about Bivol and his rare superpowers.

Cinnamon flattens this dude. He gives him less problems than Plant did, I will bet money he does.

The only ones with the excuses will be the Canelo Alvarez Protection Agency members as per usual. Im sorry I cant take NONE of yall seriously after you embarassed yourselves in the Macabook thread.:mjlol:

But you'll still be here with the rest of us on fight night :mjgrin:.....When's the last canelo fight that was a snoozefest. Canelo fights always have a certain level of suspense because of how great of a finisher he is. On paper the plant fight shoulda been a snoozefest too. But most fans who watched it thought it was great. Even most fighters thought it was great. This is gonna be no different. It's not my first choice but stylistically bivol will prolly give canelo a harder time than Charlo and David. It prolly won't be more exciting but it'll be a high level chess match with some fun moments :yeshrug:


Never thought of Bivol like some have rated him… his last fights been against instanbul fallafel salesmen … if y’all thought Plant struggled against Truax then Bivol went life N death with his recent opps

rather see a Callum rematch :russ:

your stars are but dust on my shoes
Bivol is the #2 light heavyweight, undefeated world champion.:yeshrug:

If Andrade ever beat someone of the same caliber as Bivol, he would probably be P4P.:yeshrug:

If Andrade beat anyone on Golovkin, Jacobs, Plant, Saunders, Smith, Lara or Kovalev's level, he would probably be P4P.:yeshrug:

shyt, I think most people would be thrilled if he fought a Gabe Rosado or Uzcategui level opp.:francis:

So it seems most of the ring is in agreement that bivol will be one of canelo's toughest opponents. At least from the posters who actually know their shyt. So I Guess that means we won't be hearing any excuses after canelo does him like the rest. Right:mjgrin:

I think Bivol is definitely gonna box a lot more than Charlo or Benavidez would. He also has more pop than Plant. It's an interesting clash of styles that would be a good win to have on his resume, but to keep it 100 the fight probably would be a snoozefest if I had to bet on it.

Ricky Hatton and Marco Antonio Barrera Eye Exhibition Bout: Report

BY SEAN NAM
Published Fri Feb 11, 2022, 04:39 PM EST


A pair of retired boxing icons could be trading punches in the ring later this year, according to a report by Sky Sports.

Forty-three-year-old former two-division champion Hatton, one of the most beloved fighters to emerge on the British boxing scene in the 2000s, is in talks to face 48-year-old, three-weight division champion Marco Antonio Barrera, a hero of his native Mexico, in an exhibition bout sometime this year.

Were the fight to happen Hatton (45-3, 32 KOs) would be making his first foray into the ring since his retirement in 2012, when he was stopped by Ukraine’s Vyacheslav Senchenko with a body shot in the ninth round of a welterweight bout in Hatton’s hometown of Manchester. That bout was preceded by a three-year hiatus for Hatton, during which time, precipitated by a brutal knockout loss at the hands of Manny Pacquiao in 2009, Hatton initially declared his retirement from the sport.

Hatton has previously floated the idea of being involved in an exhibition against the likes of Oscar De La Hoya or Miguel Cotto.

Barrera (67-7, 44 KOs), on the other hand, has been somewhat active on the exhibition circuit. He fought Daniel Ponce de Leon and Jesus Soto Karass last year in exhibitions. Barrera is best known for his numerous bloodbaths with Erik Morales, Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Naseem Hamed, fights that made him a household name in the boxing world in the 2000s. Barrera’s last professional bout was in 2011, a second round technical knockout of Jose Arias.

A Hatton-Barrera exhibition would fall in line with a current trend of boxing oldsters returning to the ring, a pattern that has also been incredibly remunerative for some of the participants. Most famously, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. engaged in an eight-round heavyweight exhibition match on Nov. 28, 2020 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Promoted by Triller, the bout reportedly did 1.6 million pay-per-view buys.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has consistently flirted with and participated in exhibitions since his official retirement in 2017, upon stopping MMA star Conor McGregor in the 10th round of their 12-round welterweight contest, which turned out to be a financial bonanza, generating a reported 4.3 million pay-per-view buys, the second largest of all time, behind Mayweather’s 2015 match with Pacquiao. Most recently Mayweather went up against social media star Logan Paul in an eight-round exhibition that went the distance at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami last June. Mayweather has hinted that he could be returning to the ring soon, in Dubai, in what would be another exhibition.
