    Well I wasn't going to say anything but I bumped in to him Wednesday and he was rather rude to me, so I had to give him a couple of little slaps for his show of disrespect.

    He apologised, accepted his slaps and we are all good now.

    Left hook right hand is working for Bivol.

    I love how Bivol controls the fight with not only his jab but overall use of his front hand: feints, shooting from varied angles, sometimes single and sometimes multiple jabs to keep Chilemba unsure. Chilemba a good, skilled contender and Bivol's schooling him. And turning up the offense now. This won't go the distance.

    Chilemba is completely shot. Not the same fighter that gave Bellew and Alvarez all that they could handle.

    Bivol should be able to end Chilemba in 7 or less. If he's as good as advertised.

    Bivol had a little red mark under one of his eyes the other day.

    Wish Chilemba would lose his caution and commit.

    Chilemba doing good work with the jab.....doubles it up sometimes. Keeps Bivol off him with it.

    This. Ortiz's laughable 84" reach and Vitali's 79" inch, which was clearly much longer.

    Even I can get this score wrong, that's how well Bivol is boxing.

    Is he lightning fast? He's alright but no Zab Judah.

    I'll answer definitely what Max just asked: Bivol's better than Kovalev, and I now think clearly outboxes him if they fight. I'll make a new p4p list soon, and put Bivol well in my top 10 and above Kovalev.
