I think the Nail is better than Bivol and yes you're right he still carried some fear into the fight and I had Gvozdzyk ahead on in the Beterbiev fight, I feel if he was able to get over that mental block he genuinely could have beaten Beterbiev
Me too He got hit with too many body punches, besides his mental state, that was the main reason for me. I think beterbiev has a very good chance to KO Bivol with body shot.
if Bivol carries Beterbiev like he carries Smith to 12 then its over for him,because Artur isnt Smith,Artur will put too much pressure and body shots for him to substain twelve rounds.The very first body shot just look at Bivol reaction...then the destruction began.
IMO the fight would be similar to Artur Beterbiev Vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk (Beterbiev late stoppage). However, as time passes, Artur Beterbiev's chances decrease, and Dmitry Bivol's chances increase.
Sound of that right hand Imagine the carnage that 23 y/o Beterbiev would've inflicted in the pros This content is protected This content is protected
Bivol is winning until he gets the wind knocked out of his sails and slows down. Then Beterbiev lands more frequently and really begins to hurt him. As a consequence he shoots up the P4P rankings, gets a mega Canelo fight and bludgeons Canelo to a TKO victory and probably retires. Yarde Bivol Canelo Retirement
I personally think he could unify at Cruiserweight too but he'll be pushing 40 by then and there's always that chance that someone "lesser" could beat him and spoil his hard won legacy and reputation.
Beterbiev is 37 now and unified Champion holding the IBF WBO WBC belts in only 18 fights with 18 KOs. Bivol is WBA Champion winning it in his 12th fight with 20 wins now. Please for boxings sake no roadblocks or spanner’s thrown in the works let the powers that be get this undisputed fight made. It could have even been possible to have an Undisputed Champion at LHW in either 19 fights or 21 fights. As for a winner I think Beterbiev stops Bivol around the halfway mark.
