    Wouldn't be surprised if Arthur DOES get a bit of a battering but lasts the distance. Covers himself in glory for doing so.

    I got Bivol stoppage at 6/4, insane odds, can still get him at 11/8

    Bivol has a terrible stoppage record despite how good he is

    Where are people getting this notion he is gonna KO Arthur early??

    Bivol will tee off at Lyndon at will.

    Thinking a TKO (RSF) rather than a clean KO myself.

    I was wondering that. He's not a fighter who tends to go for stoppages.

    Mid to late stoppage for me.

    Watching Arthur in his last few fights.... he looks very gun shy , reluctant to throw a right hand and almost like he doesn't even want to be in there.

    Bivol points. Arthur will be in his shell all night and Bivol won’t need to go through the gears.

    I would be amazed if Arthur came through the twelve. It wouldn’t take much for him to want out.

    I think Bivol can punch harder than his record suggests, I just don't think he feels the need to, and his style is so successful, he doesn't feel the need to really sit down on his shots.

    I think the reluctance of some of his opponents to really step to him suggests he hits harder than advertised.

    Having said that, I think he stops Arthur in about 7/8 in a probable referee/corner stoppage, rather than a genuine KO

    Hard to see how arthur will trouble bivol at all. Has an ok jab at his level but thats it really. Can see a corner pull out or arthur taking a knee due to a sustained peppering

    It's not really about Bivol's stoppage record, it's more about how easy to hit Arthur will be for him and how easily Yarde stopped him, he also got dropped in his last fight and it wasn't like he was in with a World beater.

    This, all of Bivol's last 10 opponents would probably all stop Arthur, levels.

    Lyndon having the nerve to say he's proud of himself

    For what? Being a walking punch bag for twelve rounds, not trying to win, being negative and stinking the place out?

    Just dull
