    Superb technique and Ring IQ. The straight right to the body was the money punch. Will he do the same to Bivol. I hope so.

    I hope Bivol wins but I don’t think he can keep him off him.

    Beterbiev v Bivol is my favourite matchup in boxing, Bivol I think gets unfairly labelled as feather fisted, and Beterbiev doesn't get enough props for his intelligence, I think this is potentially the highest level fight in the entire sport. Agree with @dmt that I don't think Bivol will be able to keep Beterbiev off of him for a full 12 rounds, but I think this will be a tough fight for Beterbiev nonetheless

    Would be the highest level fight since Usyk Briedis IMO.

    Not to mention everything gvozdyk landing on Beterbiev didn’t make a dent

    Without a doubt. Both are legit top 10 P4Pers. Whoever anyone has no.3 in LHW literally has no chance in beating them and there’s no interest.

    I actually saw that very video yesterday through a recommendation on Youtube. Pretty much Beterbiev got the hang of Gvozdyk's timing and was able to beat him to the punch. Once Gvozdyk got hit enough he started to become more timid and then Beterbeiv was able to walk him down landing hits at will before stopping him. Gvozdyk not being strong enough to push Beterbiev off him just cemented his doom.

    The number of casuals who sleep on Briedis. The guy gave Usyk all he could handle and even now is still trouble for anyone at cruiserweight. Imo Usyk’s best wins remain over Briedis and Gassiev.

    Patiently.
    IMHO the same scenario will be in the fight with Bivol.
