    If anybody can beat Beterbiev, it's Bivol. 50/50 fight. I believe we will get this unification fight at the end of the year for Undisputed.

    The Undisputed fight between Beterbiev and Bivol simply has to happen,any politics and potential road blocks that could stop the fight need to be removed,this fight is without doubt at the current time in the top three fights to be made in Boxing. The only possible higher fights to be made imo are Spence v Crawford and Fury v Joshua/Usyk winner .

    While I have the highest respect for Bivol, Beterbiev would be my pick, too big and too strong. It would look like Gvozdyk Vs Beterbiev except Bivol might manage to dance around a bit longer, but I think Beterbiev gets to him enough to win a late stoppage.

    I would not be surprised if Bivol took him to boxing school. Seriously.

    Joe Smith jr fought horrible fight against Beterbie, I mean wtf was thinking

    I like both and think this is 50/50 fight, but i will go with the better boxer - Bivol.
    He had high guard, very good defense, move incredible well, he has stamina for 20 rounds, it's way younger, absolutely in his prime, has a high punch output, very high ring IQ, it's cold-blooded just like Beterbiev is. There is no panic mode in him.
    He just knows what he is doing. He also have 300+ amateur matches, so he is absolutely match for Beterbiev.
    That old fart need to make that match or fans needs to kick him out of the sport ASAP !!!

    Why you not show us the footage of that fight, bud ?

    They never fight you ignorant ...... that try to look cool. The final that was supposed to happen was a walkover, cause Bivol injured his hand in the semi-final.

    I really hate people that spread false narrative ....

    Bivol amateur record is 286-15.

    Bivol has same type of nervousness like Gvodzyk had, when he was talking about Beterbiev before the fight.

    They sparred long time ago and he knows what kind of power will demolish him.

    I've been saying it for a while and I'm still saying it now, Beterbiev KOs both Bivol and Canelo.

    Gvozdyk Bivol is 50/50 for me and Beterbiev destroyed him. But styles make fights. Gvozdyk is a boxer-puncher. We haven't seen Beterbiev in there with a top pure boxer. So hard to really say who wins.

    I agree with Drelou, Bivol seems to be more controlled & skillful than Beterbiev, I can't see Bivol tiring or losing focus so a points win to Bivol.
