So Bivol intentionally vacated his WBC Belt, because he is supposed to be fighting Benavidez next as David is the mandatory and interim champion. Now, David is the full WBC champion.

Bivol vacated it not because he is afraid of Benavidez, but because he will be going out and fight Beterbiev for the trilogy before the end of the year and obviously, this is another big paycheck for him.

Make sense for him to pull this stunt and let Benavidez becoming the WBC champion for now.

Not much of a surprise here. Mandatory defences rarely happen if a champion has better and more profitable options.
I think the trilogy with Beterbiev makes sense and is justified. Whoever wins can fight Benavidez next and win back the belt. And that scenario would probably work better for Benavidez too.

But hardcore fans know that Bivol isn't avoiding anyone; it's the corrupt boxing governing bodies manipulating things to their advantage. Why didn't the WBC mandate Canelo to defend his belt against Benavidez when he was the mandatory challenger? In my opinion, the real loser here is the WBC, as they won't profit from a third fight between Bivol and Beterbiev.

I've just learned that Usyk Vs Dubois 2 has officially been scheduled:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-14614719/Daniel-Dubois-Oleksandr-Usyk-fight-date-location.html

It will take place on 12th July at the Wembley Stadium.
Shame they couldn't get them to fight a bit sooner, but it's good to finally know the date.
I'm not sure if any bookies are taking bets yet and what the odds would be, but obviously Usyk will be the favourite.

It will still be Usyk as the favorite here, I just checked one sports bookies and there are still no odds. As for this fight, I pick Usyk to win by maybe another masterful fight just like what he did against Fury.

And the thing with Usyk is that he hasn't taken any damage in this previous fight. That's why he is still very strong and looks fresh. So lets wait for the official odds it might be Dubois could be a 3:1 underdog.

Ok, I just posted this on the other community as well.

At least we still have the rematch between the two, but this time, there's a lot at stake because Dubois is now a champion.

And with that it's another undisputed fight + Ring Magazines title. I will still go with Usyk, Dubois is too inexperience for me.

What do you mean sooner? They just come from a fight though, so they really need to take a rest and I think the timing is good. And it's not like going to happen in 2026. It will still be this year so no need to like get mad at the schedule this July. At least they have a date already and so fans are just going to wait for the next couple of months. Yes, no matter who Usyk's going to face in the HW division he will always be the favorite.

Here is Ryan Garcia in the mitts,



You can obviously hear the power in his left hook, scary if he can executed that in the fight itself and see how Rolly will take it. Romero is not known to have a good chin so I will not be surprised if Ryan can hit him and then he will go down and might not recover from that, hehehehe.

Ryan seems to be in focus right now, and with Derrick James, I think he is going to knockout Rolly Romero in the middle to ten rounds. Ryan really looks huge and perhaps this is the right weight for him. I also saw a glimpse of one of his video's ripping Ennis, so for sure in the future if Ennis is still the 147 lbs, they will have to face each other. But it might be a difficult fight for Ryan as Ennis has a good lateral movement and power too.

[Baofeng]

^^ I think it comes with maturity as well, I'm seeing that Ryan is really evolving from just a boxer to a somewhat more of really believing in his capacity to be a great one.

And with Derrick James still training him, for sure he will learn and re-learn his boxing skills and become a great boxer and a champion someday at 147 lbs.

Ryan Garcia's left hook has been his weapon of choice, delivering spectacular knockouts, especially with his left hook to the body, as seen in the Campbell fight. Imagine the impact if it lands on Rolly Romero's chin—it could be a fight ender .

Yes, not only Ryan, but we have seen a lot of great boxers who weaponized their left hand with this powerful hooks. And Ryan seems to have more power as he goes up in weight class and then executing it.

And Rolly doesn't have a good chin either, so yes, if it landed then it's going to be goodbye fight for Romero as he can't recover from this devastating blow.

He developed that left hook as his main weapon and we have seen a lot of boxers tasting Ryan's power and they didn't like it as they go down. I remember that Campbell fight, Ryan did go down, but he comeback and then deliver that power left hook to the body. And he still developing that shot and so I think he will executed it against Rolly. Although the main target could be the face of Rolly as we've seen that it's not that good and has been crack by Tank Davis already.

I'm not sure if there is a thread on Suarez fight against Navarette here. It will be in May 10 as this fight is going to be big for the Filipinos as they don't have a world champion or at least someone that will carry the torch when Pacquiao has left.

But he is going to be fighting a big Mexican brawler and somewhat Charly is old by today's standard as he is a late bloomer. And obviously he is a big underdog here but I will say that never underestimate the heart of a Filipino boxer.

Yup, Charly Suarez is a bit old as 36 is considered old in boxing. Though i don't underestimate his chances in this fight but i don't expect much from him though i would still be very happy if he pulls an upset. I would not bet on him on this one but rather will look for another option/market if the bookies will offer other options.

The bookmaker already undermined Charly, we can see it on the odds. That's got to be considered almost a sure win over Charly. Stake offers almost same odds.

Navarette has enormous KO rate so it wouldn;t be surprising to see Charly gets KOd. Even when Charly does have zero loss, he isn't going to escape the beating from a young fighter with so high KO rate.
