WBC/Salamander got shyt on by Turki/Ring recently with that 'no belts on stage aside from Ring belt' flex from Turki re Canelo.

Salamander even made a post about it.

I don't think Turki has much sway in any of this.

The question is do they elevate David to champ? This is corny because Beterbiev is the #1 contender and Morell is #2. Ok so will Morell get an immediate rematch?

I guess you can look at the Benevidez vs Morrell fight as a vacant WBC title fight

Kind of like the Norman Jr vs Santillan fight being the WBO champion

I kind of wanted Bivol to fight Benavidez to he honest. Was a more interesting matchup

I may be in the minority, but I can absolutely care 0 fukks about a Bivol-Beterbiev trilogy
co signs.
The Bivol Vs AB were cool but nothing eye catching! No thanks and Turki been acting a selfish snake recently..I might have to throw a delta bomb at his towel head soon..

Im fine with this. Get the trilogy done then winner can fight Benavidez. If Bivol fights someone else you never know what will happen with Beterbiev cause of his injury history and age. Gotta get it done next..

Fighters don’t want to give up belts :yeshrug:

That 2nd fight Bivol paid anywhere from $1.2mil to $2 mil just to keep them shyts

the sanctioning fees aint worth it.. And since both had undisputed at this rate, none of the belts matte besides the Ring Belt unless Bivol just "chooses" to keep one and defend it as #1 (or Beterbiev if he wins and doesn't retire).

IMO at this stage maybe keepRing +1 and then vacate the rest so everyone else can battle over it then you have your pick once the dust settles as you will still be number 1

Id like to see another belt get vacated and we get

Benevidez vs Callum Smith for WBC, Morrell vs Yarde for WBA or some shyt

Winners unify. Beterbiev/Bivol Winner can get a light touch/IBF mondo and then fall 2026 Undisputed of they choose not to retire

nikkas tripping over a trilogy when we damn near getting all 3 fights in less than 18 months and each fight was pretty good entertainment wise.

Blame p*ssy ass Canelo for ducking Benavidez in the first place if you wanna be angry at someone.

Who knows where the sport would be right now if that fight happened already.

Beterbiev deserves that run back. Get it over with and David can fight the winner. shyt is not that fukking serious. nikkas on twitter losing their mind over this shyt.

nikkas acting like we getting Winky/Bronco Mcart 3 or some shyt. :what:

But Morell v Benavidez was at 168 no? He's had one fight at 175 against someone who has fought once in years? He hasn't done shyt at 175 to earn anything at 175.

It's like weight divisions don't matter since Snoop came through and crushed the buildings? aka since Charlo came through and fought Canelo.
