They are a similar height and have a similar reach, though Hearns is naturally the much leaner man. Could the hitman beat a talented technician at this high a weight?
Bivol stops him late behind educated pressure. Bivol is elite at 175lbs, Hearns isn’t, he’s a solid fighter at 175lbs, but not elite.
At 175 I like Bivol. Yeah, he doesn't have huge power, but then Hearns doesn't have a great chin. Bivol does have a great chin, which will be very useful against big-hitting Hearns. Unfortunately Hearns I think is not a good a 175 fighter as Bivol who has extreme workrate, speed and stamina going for him.
