50/50 fight. I'm picking Bivol by close decision. Bivol may surprise a lot of people in this fight. He's going to be extra prepared.
AB doesn't need his knees to win a fight. He has to be favored, I don't see it as 50/50, that's wishful thinking. Bivol beating Canelo means nothing in the evaluation of this bout. Canelo and AB have completely different styles. AB's power >>> Bivols boxing skills. AB has boxing skills too! I'm totally impartial here. But if Bivol wins by outboxing AB or even (gasp!) Koing him, it would be a massive, historical victory IMO.
It's not hate, its criticism. I dislike Usyk as a traitor of everything that man should stand for. Nothing more.
Beterbiev is a terrible stylistic match up for Bivol. Unless AB is shot I can't see him losing this. Bivol is a great technician but is one dimensional style wise, wheras AB's boxing skill is massively underrated + having the superior physical presence. Bivol will have to fight a perfect fight to win imo.
That's only one thing. there a lot more. The most important thing is that he was acting whole time Why he was removed from ukrainian hitlist ? and why he was added there in the first place ? do a little research.
You may be right. But, you know if Bivol pulls this off, the knees will be the excuse, especially if Bivol out boxes him easily. Easier said than done. AB is a master at staying in range, cutting off the ring. Bivol uses his jab and footwork flawlessly to keep the distance he needs and to stay out of danger. Very interesting match up. Chess match or massacre. I don't see it any other way.
What does russians have to do to ukrainian hitlist and their reasons why they added top ukrainian boxer there ? and then removed suddenly. Until the war Usyk was saying that Crimea is for Crimean people, after the war it was Ukrainian. I have ukrainian wife and no propaganda is working on me. Only local people.
Seriously unless AB is seen to be literally dragging his legs across the ring, if he loses in a fair and uncontraversial manner, only fools would argue about the knees. And yes, there are plenty of fools among boxing fans. Usually casuals but still..
