    Or if Beterbiev wins there will be cry babies claiming he's a dirty fighter(rabbit punches, PED) Beterbiev looked good against Smith and claims to be at 100% healthy so hopefully we see the best possible versions of both men.

    If Bivol wins, i hope people don't use Beterbiev's injury as an excuse to discredit him. Beterbiev looked like he was peak vs Smith AFTER an injury.

    Beterbiev is a monster and if he were still in his prime I'd be fairly confident he finds and hurts Bivol at some point. But he's 40 and coming back from injury ...

    Beterbiev doesn’t have the best Chin. Bivol absolutely could beat him on the scorecards or death by 1,000 punches.

    I just want to see a great fight, lots of time for both guys in the ring, and try to ignore the stuff about Bivol out of it, although there is always the worry that there is no smoke without fire - it's strange that no one has engaged Bivol in any interview on the subject.

    Can you blame people who will talk like that though? I like both fighters as well, but let's be real - this fight should have happened ages ago.

    If Bivol wins people will say he beat up an old, injured man who was passed it. And there will be an element of truth to that.

    This is Spence-Crawford all over again. The fight was way overdue by the time it happened. I could hear people saying Spence wasn't the same after the car crash too. Which to be fair he wasn't. It did take away from Bud's win, even though the result would have been the same pre-crash as well imo.

    It's interesting that Usyk fans are saying bad things about Beterbiev.

    I really hope they can still fight at CW in 2025

    The difference is Beterbiev has always wanted the fight not Bivol. Spence didnt want the fight till later on but Crawford always wanted the fight. Spence was supposed to be the "big fish"/shark and Bud was supposed to be this slippery boxer-puncher who was gone be food for Spence.

    This fight will NOT be like that where Bivol ks Crawford because Beterbiev is the real deal, even at 40

    Real. I do think Bivol will win, but I'll be rooting for Beterbiev.

    No ruptured meniscus

    It was a small surgery and it was the beginning of a tear.

    Rehab was completed at the end of June

    Bivol is getting merked.
