    Palestinian bloke who has a chin but ultimately isn't up to Bivol level. Might be interesting for a round or two. I'm sure bivol has seen others like him.

    The kiwi is solid who he beat but utterlt untested outside domestic

    Its Beterbiev's fault. He is always injured. Glass body

    It´s his training methods.

    Half of those exercises carry a high risk of injury with them. The reason why he such a beast as he is, is also why he is injured so often.
    You don´t just rupture your meniscus. You can tear it with something like running but to rupture it... well, it takes a lot of force.
    Or he had a lingering tear and just worked through it like an idiot, which is possible. But also extremely painful and uncomfortable.

    It is important that the event will take place and Bivol is not privileged like Fury when the whole event was postponed because of him...

    If I were Bivol, I would bet huge on Zinad win by KO and take a dive. This is professional boxing, right? It's all about money.

    We are talking about a couple of months vs at least 6 months if not more.
    And this card is strong enough to sell on it´s own, unlike Fury vs Usyk.

    So sick and tired of waiting on belt unifications. Hell, we only waited 6 years for Beterbiev-Bivol... what's another 6 months, right? :rolleyes:

    I'm just counting the hours until Fury or maybe even Usyk sustains a fight-postponing training injury.

    To quote the late Tom Petty, "The waiting is the hardest part."

    Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.

    The Saudis should have made Ward an offer he couldn't refuse. Want to see him get humbled once in his lifetime without home town judges and other controversy.

    Zinad is nice fighter but not good enough for Bivol.

    Why is title match pre-main event?

    Why the hell are people defending this shite. Bivol cherry picks yet another no hopeless no namer.

    Wake me up when he finally steps up and faces Beterbiev.

    It's hardly a cherry pick?? Beterbiev is not going to be ready to fight for at LEAST 6 months, maybe longer, considering it's only 4 weeks till the fight I think it's fine for Bivol to stay busy and not entirely waste his training.

    He's fighting Zinad instead of Beterbiev. Makes me sick.
