    Beterbiev has dominated better competition, including two common opponents. He's older, but looks fresh.

    Bivol got hurt by a bodyshot two fights ago by a UK journeyman. He has the skills, but I don't think he can avoid a fight for 12 rounds.

    Footwork, a sharp jab and quick combinations. Speed kills. Even Paulie Malignaggi managed to keep quite a few aggressive opponents honest.

    Beterbiev will stop him. There is no LHW that can beat Beterbiev and that includes Bivol.

    Down goes Artur....Down goes Artur....Down goes Artur.
    expect to hear it tomorrow night.
    both are special fighters. Think Bivol has a couple more things going for him. Youth and just enough extra in footwork and stamina. The knee can not be healed enough...this will effect the delivery of power and the avoidance of it...Bivol is elusive and will pull away steadily throughout the fight.
    Neither man is coming to lose. This is going to be one to remember.

    People all over the place on this one and for good reason.

    Bivol on points for me but it could go either way.

    This is a pickem fight. Either could take it. Beterbiev is an imposing force of nature so I almost favor him just because of that. However I have been proven wrong by defensive fighters many times and Bivol is an especially talented defensive boxer, so I don’t know yet. I am going to lean Bivol for this pick.
