    That it is not true that you remove the size from shaq and you have an average player.

    Nevertheless, with beterbiev it is true.

    It’s risk versus reward here jai has serious talent but he hasn’t beat anyone of the elite level yet, so ages is against him and the reward will be minimal and the credit to

    Depends on what you mean by effective.

    Bivol's punches were more accurate, crisper and looked better from a strictly technical viewpoint.

    But I think Beterbiev's punches put more hurt on Bivol than vice versa.

    And why some fan would want this now when he is 40 years old. Opetaia is a real monster at cruiser. Power, fast, and accurate hands.

    In which moment? did beterbiev do that damage in the same round or few rounds? or did it consistently?

    How is it that we always have to explain how to score a fight?

    Scoring round by round it is very very very very difficult to give beterbiev more than a draw. That's it.

    And the score cards are so ridiculous that had Bivol won 2 rounds more, he wouldnt win anyway.

    If I was AB I'd crush about 4 or 5 cans and make another 5 easy mandatory defenses and jack up my title fight wins and retire.

    And yet, Bivol was in near survival mode throughout the championship rounds.

    Maybe they should go back to 15 rounds, even if it's only for unification fights.

    What
    removed his power? I don’t think anyone else makes Beterbiev look like that, I even think that if Beterbiev had caught Bivol flush with one of his overhand rights he would have dropped him. Bivol was just too disciplined

    Either that or Usyk legacy fight. Don't care for anything else currently. He completed his division against the odds.

    Beterviev is extermely prosaic. He has nothing apart from his power. He is as basic as a pacifier. Nothing there. He goes to CW and he gets his arse handed to him.
