    Let's say it's both. Bivol is somewhat limited as well, and he's too small for the division.

    Mora was right Castillo is a good counter puncher and he can crack and he was trying to catch Bivol with something big when he opened up all night so Bivol had to be wary of that. He's also very negative and he has a real good guard so it's hard to prise him open to land the big shots and once again Bivol was in with a naturally bigger opponent.

    The crowd can **** off - how many times did Floyd get taken the distance? Huh?

    When you are dominant as a professional boxer you need to be able to force the stoppage.

    Bivol seems content with boxing heads off but at the elite level that isn’t always enough.

    There needs to be more aggression from him.

    For the record, nothing against Usyk, whom I adore, but I was against this being scheduled for twelve rounds when the opponent was Spong...who is at least a current actual ranked (if not highly) contender.

    With it being Witherspoon they absolutely needed to have changed it to a 10-rounder. I don't believe in saying "well, so-and-so is a big star, and so that's why they're boxing 12..." - No. BS. Either you have a championship on the line, or an eliminator, or else you cap off at ten rounds. PERIOD.

    if either Joshua or ruiz vacate the wbo to avoid usyk and fight pulev due to the ibf then they lose my respect. that would be bs.
