    I like them both but Bivol is the younger man and can have a true legacy.

    Never been a fan of either and I'm not looking forward to the threads talking about how the winner is now p4p 1 somehow.

    Bivol is a very smart fighter and doesn't mind stinking up the joint if need be. He will use his great reflexes and speed to ensure he doesn't get knocked out. I want Beterbiev to win but feel he lacks speed which he would need in this bout against someone like Bivol. This might be rigged in Bivols favour because he has more of his career left in terms of age.

    Rooting for a good fight, just a good old classic matchup of a Californian vs a Canadian.

    1st half of the fight, you favour Beterbiev from the off but if he can't catch Bivol, then that tide turns into Bivols favour as he realises he can box his way through the fight and he rides out the 2nd half of the fight to a Points victory.

    TeamBivol (although I do like both fighters).

    Beterbiev I’m not sold on Bivol at all,one single mandatory defence of his belt in over 7 years and never yet faced a Champion from his own division. It’s took the Saudi money to get Bivol to share a ring with Beterbiev ! It’s time for Bivol to step up for the first time in his career to take on a Light heavyweight World Champion,Beterbievs boxing ability never gets the credit it deserves due to his destructive power and destruction it will most likely be come fight night !

    I like bivol better so I'll be rooting for him. With that said may the best man win.

    I like both, but if I had to choose I would pick Beterbiev mainly because I feel sorry for the way he was mis-promoted for years and gets his big opportunity so late.

    I favour Bivol to win due to age. I have little doubt that a younger Beterbiev would have stopped Bivol similarly to how he stopped Gvozdyk. Bivol is of course much better defensively but he's a bit too small to beat a much more powerful prime Beterbiev. Now however, I think Bivol can dance around for 12 rounds and frustrate Beterbiev to a decision.

    Beterbiev simply down to preferring his style.
