I had no time to watch it live but I know how destructive Artur Beterbiev is so I watched the highlights and it was what I expected, too bad that we don't seem to see him soon inside the ring because obviously, no opponent will try their luck against that brutal puncher ever unless he is Bivol or some boxer who is willing to risk it all for a huge paycheck. Looks like he runs out of opponents due to his legendary boxing skills and it seems there will be no other choice out there but to match him with Bivol. How I wish to see him fight at least thrice a year but due to his knockout skills no one would ever dare to even provoke him with their words.

Yes there are replays and highlights you can watch and actually, I also just watch the fights on the replay aswell, because I don't have time to watch it live on a pay-per-view, but the fight was still epic for sure Artur Beterbiev is just that great of a boxer and for sure Calum Smith is also a well-known boxer and this is the 1st time for him to be knock-out by his opponent, so this is a huge feat for Beterbiev as he is a smaller guy to beat the taller and has the range advantage guy, so for sure it was a worth it win for Artur Beterbiev,

It's all about the money mate, obviously it was a hot topic with the war going on in Russia. But Bivol was able to fight after his win on Canelo in Saudi recently, so it just shows that if everything is right and everyone is making money to promoters, boxers and organizations and it's coming from the oil rich country, then they can step aside everything and push the fight.

So I believed that this fight is going to happen and Mauricio is going to be in a hurry to put this fight in the line for the Saudis and make a U-turn as far his political views.

Definitely, Beterbiev might be the favorite in this fight, but it could be closer.

This fight needs to happen just to close all debate on who is the great boxer between the two, as Artur Beterbiev is getting aged he is now 38 years old, getting into his 40 might not be the same anymore, for sure he just have 2 years top, or maybe 1 depending of how the aging process can affect his body and skill that is, then a younger Dmitry Bivol that is only 33 years old, for sure this two is the only top prospect that could go toe to toe with each other, and for sure it is going to be an epic fight,

Money is all the promoters need then the arab is willing to pay just to see this two clash inside the ring, for sure it will be an epic fight,
