^This! Agree 100%! The only thing I'd caveat by saying is that Bivol hasn't shown a higher gear in any of his fights and he may or may not be able up his gear to put in a masterpiece performance i.e., maintain distance all the while popping one twos & 1-2-L on light footed display, though I'm unconvinced. KO rd 9-12. Beef.
Possible, but Bivol has fought in the pocket with a decent distance Vs his opponents, with in-out footwork - he never really stays far from his opponent and he doesn't dance around the ring. Beterbiev will get inside, rough him up and work his short, sharp, accurate power punches. He [Biev] should go to the body early, place those shots in the plexus, Liver and ribs and string together combos while Bivol is trying to distance manage - that means combos and lead feints. Gonna be an absolute boxing purists' game this, yet with the brutality that Biev brings. Can't wait - get your popcorn lads!
Bivol didn't just beat Canelo he kicked his azz he beat him like he stole something. He made Canelo look like a journeyman. Since he got brought down to earth with an enormous Bump you notice Ginger has started the I'll fight who I want, when I want, if I want. I have no intention of fighting Benividez EVER!! He already ducked a rematch with Bivol. So that leaves Beterbiev?? Just the mention of his name causes Ginger to freak out kinda like when Floyd saw Margarito standing in front of him lol I hope Jaime knocks his butt out COLD!! As for Beterbiev-Bivol ? Its the Classic KO Artist Vs Classic Boxer a boxing fans dream. I'm up for this one & I'm leaning towards buying the PPV. First time in many many years if I do. Best part is its not in Vegas so depending on what officials they use we could have 100% level fair fight with the better man on the night getting the win he deserves for a change Dmitry tried to get a rematch Ginger turned down a fight at 168 for all Gingers trinkets, but Ginger said NO!! he was too big for me ROFL Then he says he MIGHT fight the winner of Bivol - Beterbiev but that could be 5 years down the road allowing for marination lol
am thinking Bivol on points. he will work with a high volume and control distance. it is a difficult fight to call. Bivol's mastery of distance and movement with return fire.i.e. volume will give him the point win.45/55 type chance.
Well, I was right, Bivol was not that cool and calm as we usually see. He can feel that pressure even more now. Beterbiev is acting like always.
No one has ever fought Beterbiev and not been KO’d and Bivol won’t be the first. If Bivol got rocked by Joe Smith with a overhand right, Beterbiev will put him to sleep.
I voted Bivol on points. I want to see AB catch up with Dmitry and keep his perfect KO record intact. But me old loaf won't believe it til he sees it.
It would be funny if Bivol landed a perfect shot in the exchanges and KO'd him, but hard to imagine him hurting him with regular shots. Beterbiev was happy to swing away with Smith, Yarde and Callum, and took serious punches from the last two, so that's not a good sign for Bivol. Also Beter might be old but HGH and testosterone turns back the clock.
Beterbiev stops him. Cleverer fighter than given credit for. Also technically gets over looked. Wonder what the ring size will be.
