Amazing fight if true. I assume Bivol will take a stay busy fight in the meantime. This would essentially be a full unification.
I like Bivol a lot but I don't feel like he will be able to handle the power that Beterbiev brings. Smith hurt Bivol pretty badly at the end of the 12th round in their fight. If Beterviev hits him flush like that it will be over.
I am not so sure Beterbiev hits harder than Smith. He may be stronger overall, but Smith is an absolute banger. I don't think I could put anyone at 175 above him in punching power.
It’s hardly like Smith is feather fisted, arguably bangs as hard if not harder than Beterbiev. Edit - Id still probably pick AB regardless.
I've gone back and forth between who wins this, currently I'm back to Bivol winning.............my mind could change next week though
I wouldn’t rule out Bivol being skilful enough to get through the full 12 rounds here. The late TKO KO for Beterbiev is more likely, but there is a chance of Bivol avoiding clean shots and taking the fight the full 12.
Wow! That would be sensational. And kudos to Bivol, if true, for having the cajones to fight Beterbiev.
Not a worse source than CNN, FOX, or MSNBC. RT actually broke stories about domestic issues in America that the establishment in America didn't want the public to know about. They are far more truthful about U.S. news than U.S. MSM outlets are.
