Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev vs. Anthony Yarde & Artem Dalakian vs. David Jiménez RBR.

True, but it was just a guess. Beterbiev was looking spent, but credit to him for finding that extra gear and getting Yarde out of there.

 

The interesting thing there though is:-
1) Bivol's distance management is sublime
2) He rarely get's hit clean, his defense statistically the best in boxing
3) He doesn't make mistakes, and executes his gameplan with ice-cold precision

Even given that, I still think Beterbiev vs Bivol is a pick'em, maybe just a baw-hair to Bivol now due to AB's age and signs of decline

 

The hilarious part is Beterbiev is pushing middle age. Hes a borderline middle aged man. In a young mans sport.

**** outta here hes not declined.

 

How can Bivol get off Beterbiev of him for 12 rounds ? He would just do what he did to Gvodzyk and Bivol don't even punches as hard as him.

Bivol admitted Smith punches really hard and he was hurt by his shot.

 

You got a point. The human skull has a bad reaction when somebody who hits as hard as Smith Jr rams his fist into it.

 

We have had 6 fights now, some against murderous punchers at 175lbs and Beterbiev still hasn't tasted the canvas.

Not bad for someone who is supposedly chinny(!)

 

Beterbiev has declined and Bivol is going to school him. Deal with it.

 

So Beterbiev is looking past it and won a fight some on here are saying he didn’t look great in?

Wonder who will finally challenge him next….

 

I'm just saying if he was stunned by that shot, he won't endure Beterbiev's shot.

Look at what's happening to Beterbiev's opponents. And that's not just because of the hits to the back of the head, as you claim. Their face gets destroyed. He has that bone crushing, destructive power. I don't think a nice guy like Bivol would endure it.

 

To be honest Smith punches harder than Beterbiev. I think Smith might be the single hardest hitter p4p in the sport.

 

Bivol would do comination on him but to no avail....wont trouble AB,they already spar together...Mike the iceman Sully sais it in interview

 

Punching power wont matter Bivol will attempt to jab and run and he probably will be able to do it for 12 rounds.
