    Shocked, 5 minutes after one guys dominant performance, there is a thread and poll - that one guy now can beat even godzilla.

    BUT

    Beterbiev is different...

    I'm the same, I simply can't split them - it's such an intriguing matchup

    + Beterbiev with his 100% KO, and super-heavy hands
    + Bivol with elite distance management and the best defence in the sport
    + Beterbiev who is relentless and is as capable of taking you out in the last 10 seconds as the first...
    + Bivol who hits deceptively hard enough to keep everyone he has fought thus far honest enough to execute his gameplan
    + Neither have tasted defeat, or really looked close to it.

    It wouldn't surprise my if AB scored a KO in the 2nd round, nor would it surprise me if Bivol executed a flawless gameplan and won a wide UD.

    Too hard to call for me - maybe with the ages and Bivol entering prime and Beterbiev being post-prime (though still aweome against Smith Jr), it maybe edges it a hair more to Bivol as time passes

    Beterbiev breaks Bivol down and stops him eventually.

    Beterbiev via stoppage late maybe 11 or 12. Hope it happens soon no needs for Artur to fight a Yard or someone of that low level.

    That's the main reason I can't make Bivol a favourite - whislt Artur looked to have declined a bit against Deines, he was great against Smith Jr - although Joe really fought a bad gameplan that night IMO.

    Beterbiev's relentlessness and underrated boxing skills make it a really hard night for Dimitry - who would have to execute a perfect gameplan - but if anyone at 175 is capable of keeping Beterbiev at bay for 12 rounds, it's Bivol with his excellent defence, footwork and judgement of distance.

    Such a fascinating fight - along with Usyk v Fury it's easily my most anticipated fight

    No.
    But still Bivol UD. Closer, but still 8-4 or maybe 7-5, that's my prediction

    This would be Bivols first 50/50 fight and the only fight I pick against Bivol.
