Dmitry Bivol vs David Benavidez in the summer

I would prefer to see Beterbiev VS Benavidez instead cause that would be a brutal FOTY type of fight but Bivol VS Benavidez is good too.

 

This is a good fight. This is a basically #1 vs #3 at 175. Looking forward to it.

 

Bivol vs Benavidez is going to be a good fight. Even if Benavidez loses, he still wins as long as he doesn't take a career ending beat down. Having said that, I strongly favor Bivol in this match. Benavidez doesn't seem as strong at this higher weight, not to mention he doesn't seem to carry the extra weight too well either. Bivol seems to carry this weight well and just showed he has quite a beard. I just don't see how Benavidez can win this fight.

 

Bivol was very light on his feet and fast in his last fight. 175 is clearly his sweet spot. Wouldn’t want to see him ruin it by moving up.

 

I will beleive it when I see it.

 

Yeah most of Bivols fights suck. Beterbiev is the only guy who can force him to fight, although Bitchvol still did his fair share of running in those fights. After that 12th round where he barely got out with the "win" I'm not surprised he's opting for the much easier fight in Benavidez. Expect a boring UD. Benavidez only has a shot if he can get a small ring.

 

Id just like to see the fight to see whos style would prevail and id respect either who could win it. Bivol boring or not, that takes alot of skill to fight 12 rounds with a beterbiev and come out on top. boring or not. Thats a damn feat in itself. Id like to see canelo beterbiev but we wont get that fight cuz canelo aint getting passed crawford. hahaha, yewwwww

 

I can see it coming down to form of the night. In the first fight Beterbiev was on form and Bivol not so much. In their next fight it was the other way around. You could tell from their body language. I can see those dynamics playing out in a Bivol vs Benavidez fight. But upfront I would take Bivol to win as well.

 

Damn! What do you have against Morrell? Fighting back to back beasts like that. He took a good beating in the Benevidas fight. If things go bad for him against AB he could get an equal or worse beating. Not good for a young fighter. I would like to see that some day, just not after DM took that beating.

 

Who do we cheer for? The Canelo proxy or the PBC guy?

 

Didn't come out on top in my eyes. Had it a draw. and Bivol was glad the 12th round had ended. He didn't want to go another minute with Beterbiev. I didn't really see any improvements from Bivol, the major difference between this and the first fight was Beterbievs conditioning/pacing not really being there for him.

 

I don't really care who wins tbh. Was never a Bivol fan. He does have lots of fake ass fans on here who started dickriding him after Clenelo, and there's people who just don't like Beterbiev. I've never understood the Benavidez hype. He was always just an oversized SMW with OK skills. Bivol will just be way faster and too clever for him, like with Ramirez.

 

Big mistake to compare Benavidez to Zurdo. David is better than him in every single way. Zurdo is like a B grade Benavidez.

 

Lets face it if Bivol had fought Beterbiev a few years ago instead of wasting his time on undercards he would've been KO'd. The fake Bivol fans ignore the fact that Beterbiev is 40 years old.

 

Yeah it looked like he was going to be KO'd a couple of times a few weeks ago, but Beterbiev just couldn't maintain the assault. The fact Bivol can't decisively beat Beterbiev in the twilight stage of his career speaks to who is the better fighter of the two. Just like GGG/Clenelo. Clenelo barely got out with the W against grandpa GGG who practically had 1 foot out the door in his boxing career.
