    Bivol would box beterbievs head off. Only chance for Beterbiev to win is by knockout.

    Was finally able to see the fight and Beterbiev wins. Honestly, I didn't see much from Canelo in the Bivol fight. Not much power. Not any offensive skill or creativity.

    Beterbiev punches 10 times harder than Canelo and is a much physically stronger man.

    maybe but Beterbiev has solid boxing skills himself, and will hit Bivol with power he's never felt before. 100% KO ratio .. arguably p4p number 1 puncher in boxing.

    Beterbiev hits much harder than Canelo, but he is also the more technically skilled fighter.

    Sure, this is boxing, but bivol has more tools to work with than beterbiev. I think Bivol will figure out beterbiev at some point and nullify his power with precision punching and boxing ability. But tbh Beterbiev will have a tough fight with Joe Smith and Smith can crack pretty hard himself so that fight is no gimmie.

    I think a prime AB wins, the current version probably loses a decision though

    I think that fight would have a similar outcome as the fight Beterbiev Vs Gvozdyk, if Beterbiev does not win old age.
    I would be surprised if Beterbiev wins by points, because he has never done so far.

    I've gone back and forth on this for years, I wanna see how Beterbiev looks against Smith because he's getting to an age now where things will start declining.. Still thinking Beterviev might pull it off tbh.. either way this will be a great unification

    Bivol vs. Canelo didn’t change anything. Beterbiev still knocks the pair of them out

    I’m a fan of both guys and did not vote. Let’s see how good AB looks against Smith. He hasn’t looked himself in his last two fights but he’s still dangerous. Tough fight for me because I’m a fan of both. It’s always hard to make these predictions right after a stunning performance by Bivol. He’s also a very humble and likable guy. If they fight, I’ll pay to watch.

    Can boxing sell a Russian vs. Russian in todays climate? Not to the hardcore boxing fans, I’m talking about the casuals who need to buy in to make it a successful promotion? I’m not sure the money is there to make this one profitable. It’s a shame because both guys are great fighters.

    It's a very difficult fight to pick. Bivol is slippery, disciplined and highly skilled. He's a tough puzzle to solve. But it is a fight at the end of the day. Nobody has ever gone the distance with Beterbiev. It's fight. Physically he's a hard man. Has incredible power and strength. And underrated skill.

    Age could become a factor. Bivol is 31 and in his prime. Beterbiev is 37.
