Dmitrii Yurievich Bivol vs. Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev

Watching back some of Bivols recent fights he has just enough lapses to cost him against even an aging Beterbiev who may or may not have lost a step recently(I don't believe he's diminished significantly) Much lesser opponents such as Smith, Salamov and even Arthur were able to time Bivol with some pretty nice right hands. Beterbiev will land more than a few of those, and he should be able to wear Bivol down enough on the inside to secure a late stoppage even if age has caught up with him. But idk... I have a feeling this is going to br surprisingly easy for him. We shall see!

 

I think it's age and Bivols newfound popularity after beating Clenelo. Before Clenelo the overwhelming consensus was that Beterbiev smashes Bivol. Since then it's teetered back and forth in-between fights. Now with age, injury concerns - coupled with said newfound popularity Bivol is the favorite heading in the fight. I hope the odds get wider, but I have a feeling there will be a lot of late money dropped on Beterbiev.

 

But then again, much lesser euro-style boxers like Koelling, Deines, Gvozdyk were able to box with Beterbiev for almost full 12. It may as well turn out like Canelo-Bivol. "Ok, Canelo is going to turn the heat up soon", again and again, then the final bell rings and it is a blowout. This is what makes this fight so exciting - no one knows.

 

That's very interesting. If he manages to KO Bivol with that stance, it will be

I can't wait

 

Bivol has fought Zurdo from that stance, but I can't remember anyone else

 

Has there ever been a bigger fight in boxing between 2 guys who hate to talk?

 

Haven't felt this pumped for a fight since ....Fury Usyk

Boxing is in a great place right now

 

I hope Artur's knee won't pop.

 

i don't understand why people always favour power over skills. moreover, with Bivol there's the same prejudice about his presumed feather-fists that were with Mayweather, and the same is for Usyk. Despite they don't have a lot of ko's, their power is enough to make their opponents think twice to the next punches they throw. if these three times you, they probably has enough power to make you stunned. that's why is impossible to walk down guys like Floyd, Usyk or Bivol. if Beterbiev exposes himself to much he could, I wouldn't say easily, but probably get do'ed

 

Sometimes it's a few cans of Bitter first, just as a starter.

And then invariably it's.....

Red usually, but I don't mind a nice White or Rosé.

The only problem with wine is, it slips down soooooooooo easily and you can end up drinking more than you originally intended. It's pretty sneaky ....
