Bivolo Masterclass against Beterbieva: Canelo Revancch, Benavidez or trilogy in the future?

Promotor Eddie Hearn says that on Turkish Alalshikh it will decide who will fight the Dmitry Bivol next after the victory in most of the 12 rounds over the indisputable champion in the lightweight category of Arthur Beterbiev, a place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
There was talk of a trilog match between buffalo (24-1, 12 ko) and Beterbieva (21-1, 20 ko) that Dmitry had won tonight. However, Hearn mentioned other options for his fighter Bivol, saying that there is a rematch with Canel Alvarez or defense of the title against the mandatory WBC David Benavidez.
Hearn’s vision
The way Hearno’s eyes set on fire when he mentioned the name Canelo as the possibility of a buffalo could be the one who is more interested in Dmitry that fights next. Canelo has the fight against Terrence Crawford on September 13th. So, unless the Turks want to try to ask for a removal canelo-bivol in December, they will have to wait until 2026.
If he is on Hearn, the buffalo will fight Canela next. This is the one who wants, and that is more more win. The way Bivol fought tonight, David Benavidez would lower him and stop him. He wouldn’t get tired the way Beterbiev seemed to stop throwing blows. No hesitation for Benavidez.
Beterbiev, 40, ran out of gasoline after fighting well through the first half of tonight’s fight. Going into the second part of the fight, it looked like he was moving toward the knockout, but he stopped hitting. The only explanation is that he broke out. Beterbiev was still fighting well enough to deserve to win six rounds, but only one judge saw it. The other two had that for a buffalo.

“It was probably the best boxing performance I had ever seen live. It was amazing,” Eddie Hearn said Ring MagazineTalking about the victory of his fighter Dmitry Bivol over Arthur Beterbiev on Saturday night. “He made Beterbiev followed him around, he worked angles.
“I feel like he deserved it for the first time [against Beterbiev]. This time there are no arguments, although someone tried to rob us with a draw. It was a clear victory. This time, Beterbiev started quickly and probably got a little tired. It was a one -way traffic for several rounds. He looked so dangerous.
“Yes, what [Turki Alalshikh] He wants. Benavidez, Canelo and Triligy. The first fight was 10 out of 10. The next one will be even better, “Hearn said.
