Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn feels Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will have a trilogy - and there's only winner
Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn rates the second fight between light heavyweight stars Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev as the best bout he has seen

In my view of the world Bivol has already won twice. He has improved his performance in the second fight. His punch output has gone up, Beterbiev's output has gone down. He has exchanged with Beterbiev in the second fight without fear and got the better of him every time. His hands are faster, his chin is good enough. He wins the third fight even more convincingly.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but do we really have to see a third fight in a row?
I mean, it was excellent, but it's not going to be much different. Of course, would not ever say no to them doing it one more time, because they're so evenly matched. The two best light heavyweights this century, arguably.
Look both of these guys need rest man! They are running the risk of burning themselves out. While I am not against a trilogy but at the same time; They don't have to do another one so quickly.
Give them at least 12-16 months to rest and heal their bodies first. Doing a trilogy bout in less than 12 months could be very taxing and exhaustive on both of these fighter's bodies and careers.

A year layoff at 40 yrs old sounds just as bad IMO. I think 6-8 months is reasonable?
I'm not a fan of trilogy's when it's three fights in a row. There wasn't been a clear winner in the first two fights and the third will probably be the same. Let Bivol fight Benavides next and let Beterbiev have a tune up then have the third fight next year.

Ok, sure fuck it! Let's get it over with! Let them do another rematch as quickly as possible so they could both move on with the rest of their careers; Especially Dmitry Bivol.
I wish there was more of a buzz and a demand for a Benavidez/Morrell rematch. That was good fight also. Even though Benny was the clear winner but yet it was still a very exciting, hotly contested and crowd-pleasing fight.
