Beterbiev vs Bivol: Competitive or One-Sided?

Competitive. Beterbiev gets to him late.

 

Competitive because Bivol won't try and trade with Beterbiev like Smith did.

 

Competitive until championship round stoppage by Beterbiev.

 

Looks like the Gvozdyk fight IMO but Biev has more success boxing Bivol and probably a lead on the cards before he stops Bivol

 

This.

Bivol will be winning, until he isn't and unconscious.

 

Very competitive. It NEEDS to happen.

 

118-110 Bivol. Beterbiev has 0 chance to win.

 

Very competitive. I think bivol can take a good punch only been buzzed late after going 11 rounds with Smith jr.

 

If the common opponent is the measuring stick then Beterbiev beats Bivol . I just haven't seen enough of Beterbiev in the ring to get a read on his stamina . His age is a bit of a concern if a fight goes late

 

Yes but bivol isn't a ko artist he's a pure boxer so he won't destroy fighters with kos. But make no mistake he schooled Smith jr when they fought years ago

 

As we saw today, Bivol needs to train hard and come up with perfect gameplan to beat Beterbiev.

Beterbiev no need to do anything different, just train like always as his style would give anyone problems.

P.S. I think Bivol will not be calm, when he gets hurt and eventually he will go down.

 

I'd say one-sided, Beterbiev stops him late after dropping maybe a round or two.

It could be competitive if the fight doesn't happen by the end of the year, like if it marinates for 18 months. If it happens in 2022, I can't see Bivol winning it.

 

Beterbiev is an intimidating presence. Thudding shots but he's not unbeatable. He's been down before, the problem is Bivol isn't really a big puncher. But Bivol is an expert boxer puncher with really tight defense. It only takes one shot by Artur though to have Bivol in more trouble than he's ever been in. But if Bivol is on his game, if he keeps a tight guard, and moves, he might be able to survive and win a decision. I want to see them fight badly.

 

Classic bull-and-matador, with the bull winning this one. Competitive until Beterbiev connects in the sixth or seventh.
