Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol vacates WBC belt, David Benavidez to become full titleholder

Good for Bivol! He made a very bold move. Fuck the WBC! Who in the Hell need its belt?

Surprised they didn’t give it to Canelo

That 40 year old has less tear on his body than any in the top 10. In addition, he is the hardest hitting in said division. Lastly, did we expect the top two not to face each other again for their 3rd largest payday?

Would I have preferred Benavidez vs Bivol before the trilogy? Yes. But I don't mind the trilogy. I liked both fights. A few Questions...not specifically to you but in general... if it's ANOTHER close fight/decision, will a 4th be asked of them. What if Turki throws out another career high pay day? What if that happens and Benavidez gets screwed over again?

Benavidez doesnt just want a belt(s), he wants to fight the best in the division. As he wanted to do at 168 but Ginger pulled b!tch and his fanboys made excuses...

It can’t possibly be expected that the same two guys keep a hold on all the belts for a couple of years and keep all these other fighters sidelined.

The bigger question is whether Benavidez has the guts to fight the winner of the trilogy, because once PBC gets that belt I can see them rotating it around within and never unifying just like that WBA 140 belt...

The undisputed champion just dropped the belt to NOT fight David, yet you are questioning David's guts? lmao. You should be asking whether the winner will fight Benavidez...

People also forget it was the WBC who banned him fighting for there title due to him being russian at the start of the Ukraine conflict....so screw them

I'd rather see Bivol vs Benavidez than the trilogy, but I'm not surprised in this outcome.

The WBC and Mauricio Sulaiman want to make sure it's crystal clear - leaving absolutely no doubt (not like there was any) - they've been protecting Canelo from Benavidez for years, by showing they could have made the same demand to Canelo. Mission accomplished.

Hopefully, Benavidez gets a good fight next.

I'll be looking forward to Paulie busting some blood vessels over this one.

The decider of the trilogy is how it should be and they are 1 - 1......beterbiev kept his word and so has bivol now by giving him his return.... if the WBC had acted properly with forcing canelo to honor his obligations as champion in facing benavidas we wouldn't be in this mess.
