    February twenty-second, again in Riyadh. At stake will be the IBF, WBC, and WBO titles (10th, 7th and 4th defenses of Beterbiev respectively) as well as the Ring Magazine, IBO and WBA Super championships he lifted from Bivol last time in Beterbiev's first defense of each.

    The now 40-year-old defending champion is a -130 favorite, while his 34yo previously fellow unbeaten countryman is a scant +105 underdog.

    So, in looking over the RBR for their first match I noticed the main event concluded around this general time of day (scorecards read at ten minute before 7pm EST)

    Is that anomalous for these Riyadh cards or is that likely to repeat for this one? Meaning ring walks at like 6pm EST?

    Hoping to plan out my day with @LilButt in advance.

    6pm EST was the timing of the Usyk-Fury I ring walk. I've seen the Ringwalk time for this one being 5:30pm EST.

    Beterbiev by stoppage. Plus, this PPV is very wallet friendly, so buy it guys so the promoters can see that lowering the price will help the sport, the fans and the promoters' pockets if they don't price gouge.

    Bivol knows he will lose again. I don't even think he properly trained for the rematch. He will be there just to get the huge paycheck.

    Beterbiev by wide unanimous decision, 9- 3 or 10 - 2.

    Bivol is going to punch him in the face until his Asilbekovich falls off. Bivol KO10.

    I picked Beterbiev in the first fight and do believe he edged it by a round but the man's injuries and age will most likely catch up to him here.

    Bivol pulls it off within 11

    It'll still be a close competitive fight but I'm hoping Bivol evens it up. I think he might be able to make the right adjustments this time.

    King Arthur Wins.
    And whether by knockout or on points depends on what Bivolov's chin is like.
