    No, but it will still be a great fight due to his skills.

    Skills pay the bills

    If Berb has a shot knee and plods into Bivol walking into many shots he will get hurt not badly but kept honest.

    I agree with this. Guys have landed on Bivol before, but I think he will try to stay out of exchanges and definitely try to stay off the ropes. But AB has good footwork as well, just uses it offensively instead of defensively lime Bivol. AB always seems to be in striking range. Good style match up. Just hope it isn't a once sided beat down like Crawford/Spence.

    Bud is on another level to Bivol and Beterbiev.

    There is an upright stiffness to Bivol to the point where he has got used to taking punches off that tight guard fairly effectively...but against berb who will hurt you through a guard no good. Usyk used to do that a lot as a large cruiser then ditched it at HW.

    But Bivol knows his feet lateral movement long jab is what will win him the bout meanwhile Berb will do his standard attrition that hurts ouchy!

    Before that injury felt like Berb had him physically and mentally...but I think confidence there has now been gained by Bivol where he actually has some confidence in the bout. If he boxes a blinder early and Berb isn't making him wince with them awkward exchanges then will turn into a stormer.

    Yeah, taking punches on the arm from AB are a little diffrent than taking them from Canelo. I think he will try to use his jab and footwork to keep AB from being able to load up. Easier said than done.

    True, but AB is just as capable of administering a beating as comprehensive as Bud.

    Bivol has more skill than Beterbiev.

    Yes. Beterbiev has been dropped and hurt multiple times by lesser fighters. He comes out of damn near every fight looking like he got hit by a truck.

    I agree with that, but AB is skilled at cutting off the ring and managing to always be in striking distance. To me this fight comes down to footwork. There have been skilled guys beaten by guys that are less skilled.
