    Had it 50/50 before. Oh, and he stops Clenelo EASY in a rematch.

    80/20 in favor of Beterbiev. Beterbiev breaks everyone down. Bivol can fight the perfect fight and still lose. Says nothing negative about him, but Beterbiev breaks everyone down eventually.

    Bivol jabs his nut in and then slaps his butt in.

    That's why I give Beterbiev 40% chance of winning. Bivol is more skilled and I think Beterbiev's going to be frustrated and eat a ton of combos which will eventually take the fight out of him like Gilberto tonight.

    Beterbiev cannot be underestimated.
    He is a brilliant boxer on top of being an ATG brawlers.

    I think its a 55/45 in favor of Beterbiev, maybe 50/50, but father time is calling... every week the chances of Bivol winning increase as Beterbiev ages

    No way... you can't take fight out of Beterbiev.
    Gvozdzyk was landing flush constantly for 8 rounds and it didn't deter Beterbiev

    Agreed.

    And Gvodzyk hits significantly harder than Bivol.

    Bivol isn't unhittable, and Artur hits differently. I still favor the Chechen.

    I believe you're severely underestimating Bivol's power. Zurdo had like 20 pounds on Bivol and he was afraid of selling out to try to win. Bivol's punches took the fight out of him. I believe with Beterbiev, Bivol understands that he needs to slow Beterbiev down early, so he'll sit down on his shots.

    In summary, Bivol hits hard. But Bivol's not a guy that goes for the KO. Ever.

    Gvozdyk had a better jab, better 1-2, more reach, and more power than Bivol.

    I think Bivol definitely has power, no doubt about it but I feel Gvozdzyk is definitely the harder puncher of the two.
    I think the way Bivol beats Beterbiev is with pure skill and determination, I don't think Beterbiev will ever be deterred.

    Anyway it will be an amazing fight, there are so many facets to it.
    How will Bivol deal with that pressure? Can his incredible footwork help him escape from the Beast? Both guys have incredible gas tank, as you said I think the telling factor might be Bivol's power. Can it just slow down Beterbiev even slightly?
