Bivol ain't fighting a 5' 7" Middleweight. Beterbiev by KO. BTW, can you imagine the epic meltdown had Canelo waited until GGG was 39 to face him? Shout out TJ Rives and his perseverance today 👍🥊
I agree with Dan, Tim dominated the first 2 rounds and looked like he was on his way to a knockout victory against Fundora. I would love to see a rematch but unfortunately Fundora has not shown any interest in the rematch. In the post fight press conference Fundora only expressed an interest in fighting Spence, while Sampson Lewkowicz promised to honor the verbal rematch clause he made to the Tszyu team. During his ringside lecture at the International Boxing Hall of Fame weekend in June 2024, I asked Fundora if he would give Tim a rematch and he was very evasive. He simply stated that he did not have a written rematch clause with Tim. As a result, I suspect he knows he would struggle against a healthy Tim Tszyu, but in all fairness, even Tim seemed a little evasive about a rematch with Fundora during Dan's interview. I thought Tim would want the rematch as soon as possible, but he also didn't express the rematch as a priority.
I don't understand why Fundora and Crawford decided against fighting each other next. What's the point of Fundora fighting Spence at 154 pounds before taking on Crawford. Spence doesn't have any belts. I happened to run into Sampson Lewkowicz earlier this month at the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame and he was very confident the Crawford fight would get made next and of Fundora's chances of beating him because Crawford has never before faced a southpaw of Fundora's size. I'm very disappointed Spence, who has been inactive, gets a title shot at 154 pounds; therefore delaying the unification bout between Fundora and Crawford.
Thanks Dan. That's what I suspected because it appears, although Crawford is finally realizing the Canelo fight is unlikely to happen, he still decided to step away from a unification fight with Fundora.

Crawford had no interest.
