    I thought Bivol edged Beterbiev last time but with that said, I think that's the best that he could have done against Beterbiev who really came on strong in the 2ng half of that fight. If Beterbiev is more aggressive early in this fight, which I think he will be, he should win and possibly even stop Bivol. He was really starting to beat Bivol up physically. Bivol will have to fight a perfect fight IMO to win a decision. I don't see him stopping Beterbiev.

    Great analysis, thanks.
    I think Beterbiev found the "key" for Bivol in the second half of the fight.
    I agree that Bivol needs to box a "Holyfield Vs. Bowe 2" fight to win.
    Also; Bivol can't knock out Beterbiev.

    I think Bivol will be more aggresive, trying to sway the judges in his favor this time. While doing that, he will open up more and get clipped. Artur by KO.

    Bivol gave it his best shot and couldn't win

    His power can't hurt Beterbiev

    His gas tank isn't the same as Beterbiev's

    Beterbiev doesn't have a bad knee and trepidation about starting faster anymore

    This is going to be a KO victory for Beterbiev

    He will then batter Benavidez and fight either Optateia or Usyk and retire

    Would love to see what Bivol could do on the front-foot this time. Still backing Beterbiev by UD here.

    Yall crazy. I got Bivol 9-3ing Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev is done. His mind has checked out. Whereas Bivol is reading psychology books and will adjust better this time around.

    Time is a 100% on Bivol's side

    Bivol shattered Beterbievs pristine KO record. He weathered the storm and went the distance just like Rocky did in the first Apollo fight.
    Beterbievs will be nearing his mid 40s by the time the rematch rolls around.
    Not to mention Bivol had a lot on his mind the first fight with his wife out there slandering his name.
    He will be more focused and more confident and Biterbiev will be a year older and doubting himself because he couldn't put Bivol away like everyone else. Bivol is his Doc Holiday, and I think this time he finishes the old boy.

    He can go visit a psychiatrist. It will not help him.

    People always revert back to type when they enter fight or flight mode when the going gets tough.

    There is a reason why Bivol got on his bike for most of the fight.
