    I expect Bivol to stop Chilemba late or win wide on points if not that. But Chilemba does have a very tricky and awkward style and he makes pretty much everyone look bad so it's hard to tell for sure how someone is going to be able to deal with it until you see them in there with him.

    Alvarez is solid in all departments but he doesn't excel in any one of them in particular. He has good skills, speed, counter punching, a nice punch arsenal and even though he's only got a sub 50 KO percentage he can punch a bit and get you out of there. Prieto hurt him badly with right hands and his right doesn't compare to Kovalev's. I don't think he'll be able to take too many of Kovalev's rights but if he can he possesses the tools to cause him problems and I've long been of the opinion that we haven't seen the best Kovalev since back in his Cleverly, Thompson, White Campillo days.

    Is Roy Jones training you the kiss of death? I can't think of anyone he's trained that won. Didn't he train Pascal against Kovalev?

    Bivol is showing his class early. He landed a number of clean punches.

    What's up with EE fighters low balling their reach stats, the opposite to the Cubans who exaggerate theirs.

    Ffs this **** doesn't have t-rex arms

    Well maybe Chilemba ought to do something to change that instead of looking like he's just waiting to get knocked out.

    This is really impressive boxing by Bivol. Keeping the pace so fast, mixing up his attack, doesn't stay in front of Chilemba, Chilemba can't stall and disrupt him at all.

    Ahh I see Chilemba utilising the "face blocking" method of defence...

    Why does Bivol look like he has two black eyes?

    You're right he's got a little mouse forming under his left eye.
