    I've flipped flopped on this many times but going to pick Berb. Knee injury makes it even harder pick.

    I'm sticking to my guns and favouring Artur - I think he can make more mistakes than Bivol can, and he is a ruthless finisher.

    No one has been able to go 12 with him and feel that he will traget Bivol's body and get a late TKO

    Bivol by UD. At some point later in the fight Bivol will have an opportunity to go for a stoppage but won't and will be content with a decision win.

    Beterbiev but I think Bivol possesses the right attributes and skills to expose the areas a near 40 y/o fighter will have declined in due to age. Yarde caused Beterbiev issues with speed and movement and in the early rounds Beterbiev looked kind of cumbersome and couldn't really get off with his shots like he usually does

    Yes, Yarde got battered and stopped but Bivol excels in those departments and he's very busy too

    But I'm sticking with Beterbiev via late stoppage

    Always thought Beterbiev smashed Bivol. Still riding with that prediction in light of Bivol becoming the favorite due to dickriders hopping on the bandwagon after the Alvarez and concerns with Beterbievs age/injuries. Beterbiev inside the first half. I think he makes a statement.

    Bivol on points, Beterbiev will press, but Bivol will adapt to his style and with his effective jab and defense lead on points and eventually win...

    Beterbiev breaks Bivol down with body shots and stops him mid-late.

    Agree with this. I always slightly fancied Artur for this but the knee injury has made me not as confident and have found myself changing by the day. If I have to pick I'm saying Beterbiev KO 11.

    That said I'm curious to see the ring size, wouldn't put it past the Saudis to favour one guy and have a bigger/smaller ring to suit.

    Can't wait for this fight though. Been the one I've wanted most for a long long time.

    Beterbiev stoppage in the championship rounds

    His old age, injury and inactivity changes nothing for me, still picking him to win

    Going with Bivol by UD,,all the reasons why have already been discussed here. Have to see what the odds are before deciding to bet on Bivol though and not confidently either.

    "Beterbiev is just a man" - Dimtry Bivol

    Looks like a lot of you keep forgetting that

    As I stated in another thread, Bivol has shown me moments of vulnerability and those are very dangerous against Artur. I don't think his jab and feet will save him. Beterbiev is going to drown him somewhere rounds 8-10. And I put decent money on this prospect.

    Beterbiev late round TKO.

    But I'll be ready to be proven wrong, especially from a guy like Bivol.
