SERGEY KRUSHER KOVALEV WILL KO BIVOL

I doubt Kovalev would beat Bivol at this point. And, I also doubt he even has the guts to fight Bivol at this point.

 

Kovalev has never been afraid of opponents.

 

Depends if Bivol can can pass through his blast zone or not. He can't be ruled out with his jab , speed and supreme skill , but getting in on Kovalev unpunished is a big ask for any 175 pounder.

 

Kovalev beats Bivol bad. It will be like Trinidad-Vargas, Kovalev son's him.

I picked Ward over Kovalev both fights

 

If Bivol can get past the mid rounds he should be able to stop Kovalev via body shots.

 

Meaning straight to the family jewels then right???

 

1 win and everyone's saying Bivol is going to dominate X and dominate Y

 

I need to see more from Bivol. Bivol/Nail shoud fight and the winner should fight Kovalev. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if either beat Kovalev. Kovalev is almost 35 and these 2 guys are in their prime physically. That being said I do think Kovalev's style does age well. His power will stay with him and he's still be a master at controlling the mid-long range.

 

Nope I mean body shots, Uno the punches which Ward broke Kovalev down with.

 

Bivol hasn't demonstrated the kind of power to hurt Sergey, but is a better pure boxer than Ward, who got gifts X2 was able to hang with Sergey in many of the 20 rds, even winning 8 of them.
Bivol is faster and stronger than Ward, but can he work his body position well enough to land 20+ sack shots but giving a bribed referee plausible deniability.

Idk.... Bivol fights too cleanly and with too much honor to beat Sergey without fight ending power.

Gvodzyk OTOH has lights out power combined with elite level hand speed and slick skill set.

All 3 would decimate Chickenson. As would Beterbiev

 

Yeah I don’t think Kovalev style is one that will diminish quickly, long as he has his power and jab it will take some skilful to beat this guy. Bivol has shown me he has the quality to do it, whether he will be able to is another story. I would pick Bivol just coz I like him but it’s really a 50-50.

 

You guys do realize this fight in NOT happening next? kovalev is going after Smith Jr and Bivol is going to fight the highest available contender in his sanctioning body next. The longer Kovalev waits on Bivol the more of a shot he has and he may already have at least an even money shot.
