    Hmm... well I've been saying Bivol by decision. But I got a new prediction after seeing these messages.

    Beterbiev by KO 10... which is then immediately turned to a Bivol DQ win when the ref decides Beterbiev landed a skimming rabbit punch in the final barrage that put Bivol down. Eddie Hearn suddenly believes rematches are bad for the sport, and Bivol's lifeless form is draped with his new belts as he lays in the center of the ring, trying to remember what year it is and when that fight with Canelo is supposed to happen.

    Beterbiev by late KO, maximum credit whoever the winner is.

    Bivol is going to forget where he stored Canelos soul and he won't ever get it back, how can people expect him to fight Benavidez after that?

    Beterbiev is slightly heavier, but Bivol does not look any smaller than him, somehow he even looks bigger than Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev is built dense and compact.

    If this fight was a couple of yeas ago, I would have picked Beterbiev all day long.

    But with him almost 40 now and question marks over the damage to his knee.and how much its going to effect his movements, I'm going with Bivol on points.

    Think Bivol wins this by a wide decision tomorrow and has all the answers.

    Beterbiev should bring out the absolute best out of him

    Bivol now, 3-4 years ago, Beterbiev would’ve walked him down and stopped him, but he can’t be at his best at 39 nearly 40.

    I dislike both of these guys, for very different reasons. No dog in the race.

    Likewise in the co-main event - I like Opetaia and Massey, not in love with either. May the best man win.

    Never saw Wardley vs. Clarke I - that worth checking out?

    Oh, and WAR KAMIL SZEREMETA! :ibutt (I know, definitely not happening...)

    Bivol's footwork, handspeed, balance and distance control are level above Gvozdyk. You will see tomorrow.

    You people didn't exist before Clenelo and Ramirez.

    If Beterbiev is in the same form he was for Smith(and there's good reason to believe he will be) this is going to be a painful night for Bivol.

    both look 100. physically and mentally. if they can perform close to their best, could be a classic.
    i still think bivol will nullify a lot of what makes biev what he is, and should get a points win. but you cant nullify that power completely, cause it causes damage where it lands. protect the head with your hands and your gut with your feet.
