    That’s something I can say about Bivol that I appreciate. He doesn’t resort to running away or constantly grappling his opponents to spoil a fight. His fights with Canelo and Zurdo are still some of the finest boxing masterclasses I’ve seen. The way he’s able to shift from boxing to pressure while throwing his combos and maintain a tight defense is just artistic to watch. I just wish he could push the aggression up just a bit more at times.

    Yes, and he's a combination counter puncher with mongoose reflexes which is rare. I enjoy watching him hit the pads more than I do watching a lot of other boxers fight. Same goes for Inoue

    Me too. Even against the murderous punching Beterbiev who it's suicidal to stand in front of he didn't stink out the joint. Sure he boxed and moved but it was far from a stinkfest

    Beterbiev won the first fight. And he battered Bivol in 12th round in the rematch.

    You're talking like Bivol knocked him out in both fights, or he won by wide UD.

    He lost the first fight and won by MD in the rematch. And he was close to being knocked out in final round in the rematch.

    Why didn't he give Beterbiev the 3rd fight?

    Many people are talking as though Beterbiev got schooled when in fact he was the aggressor all night in both fights and finished stronger.

    7-5 to each fighter is how I had it.

    Yeah, I have, several times. But it takes more than 1 round to win a match!

    Yes, and same people don't question why Bivol didn't give Beterbiev the 3rd fight. Beterbiev was brave and honorable to give Bivol the rematch.

    My baby boo Loma despite fighting giants at 135 usually went through the gears and tried to get you out of there

    Remember him going absolutely ham on Pedraza in round 11, dropping him x 2 and coming within a whiskers of knocking him out?

    Vs Kambosos in the 11th

    Linares

    Hurt Haney in round 10

    Vs Campbell who had to ruby tackle him to the canvas and hold on for dear life to survive

    He just brutalized Nakatani

    Commey he actually let survive but still fought very aggressively and dropped him like a sack of potatoes despite Commey being absolutely huge for the weight

    Not always at 135 but he fought 7 world champions at that weight, a weight class which would be his 7th or 9th had he turned pro the same age as some of them but he usually did and he was terribly undersized at that weight.

    At 126 and 130 he stopped all but 2 of his victims and he injured his hand in one of those fights which went the distance and boxed one handed for the last 5 rounds

    Please put some respect on his name

    Thank you

    I said or implied no such thing. What on earth are you talking about? Why make shite up to badly support your silly point?
