    This is true.

    Both guys laid it all out there. What's a shame is that most people are talking about that UFC card with Weidman/Reyes instead of this fight.

    This fight was infinitely better imo.

    If Kovalev beats Canelo and decides to carry on, the Beterbiev fight should happen for the sake of the title holders fighting one another. However, I'd hate to see what Beterbiev would do to Kovalev at this point. The body punches would fold him over, and if he stood up to some, a shot to the head would flatten him. I think Bivol is the best bet to beat Beterbiev at 175 style-wise, but I wouldn't favor him for a second.

    Anyways, respect to both for a great fight and for taking the fight, period. Everything good about boxing was on display there.

    Bivol should be next. There is no one else for either at this point.

    How about I relieve you of this account @The Akbar One ?
    The irony is clearly lost on you here, since you had your love interest up 4-1 by round 5. Which is absolutely asinine.

    For the first time, I am beginning to doubt whether Bivol can survive that fight. He'll need to flat out run for twelve rounds, and even then..

    Beterbiev is a different class than Bivol.

    Not a chance. Beterbiev KOs Bivol and definitely stops Kovalev. Beterbiev is the #1 LHW. World champ. He should be top 10 P4P.

    Maybe in 3-4 years when Beterbiev is 38-39 but it ain't happening while Artur is still that kind of animal.

    100%. Bivol nowhere near physically strong enough.

    Bivol is a world class boxer but I think Beterbiev stops him earlier than he stopped Gvozdyk.

    I think Bivol doesn’t have as good punch resistance as Gvozdyk does. He is also too small at LHW to stand up Beterbiev

    kovalev might be the only guy that could seriously hurt beterbiev, but he would probably get stopped

    Neither will go near this Beast. Also win or lose both of those guys have options. Bivol has nothing going for him and should lobby hard for this.
