[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Never heard of him

 

[Tatra]

At least Bivol will be getting his first KO win in about 10 years.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Never heard of him

That’s also what they thought.
Wilder vs Zhang is now officially the new main-event, lol.

 

[MMAmouse]

It's always hilarious to me that boxing is able to produce these undefeated guys out of thin air.

 

[Blastbeat]

uh who

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Just checked the rankings and to my surprise he's rated Top 10 across the board. The TBRB even has him at #5. Talk about flying under the radar.

Bivol did. None of us ITT have heard of his opponent Malik Zinad. He snuck into the ratings evidently.

Realistically, who is Bivol supposed to fight? Are any legit threats ready to fight him in one month? I hate this but none of this is Bivol's fault in any way. He signed on to face the most dangerous man in boxing and that tells me everything.

Rather him wait or Benavidez skip his water test at LHW to get the shot.

Yeah apparently he won an IBF title eliminator. This is just a stay busy fight for Bivol. It's nothing more than that.
