Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev - June 1st

What a great fight.

I love what's going on in boxing right now.

 

I’m nervous for Bivol. I initially thought he’d win but I think beterbiev wins by round 11 TKO. The skill gap isn’t as much as people think while the power gap is huge

 

gonna be great when bivol makes it look easy and shocks everyone lol. beterbiev just aint on that level

 

ROFL You've got more chance of Hell freezing over than Ginger getting in with Benevidez

 

Beterbiev is extremely injury prone so I'll get excited once we're in fight week. Following this boxer's career this past decade has been very frustrating.

 

This and Usyk vs Fury are the two biggest and best fights in boxing, and both have been made by the Saudis. They have done a great job getting some movement in the sport after so many years of stagnation in the States.

This fight is a classic case of skill vs power, except the guy who has power, Beterbiev, is also an excellent boxer himself. I think it will be a highly competitive and close fight while it lasts. I’m unsure Bivol can keep Beterbiev away from him and avoid his heavy hands though. In a lot of his fights he seems content to play it safe and while he always dominates, Beterbiev is on another level to anyone he has fought. I can see him outboxing Beterbiev for much of the fight, but I think Artur will catch up to him eventually.

I’m leaning towards a Beterbiev stoppage in round 10.

 

Great news !

 

I have seen more levels in Beterbiev than I have seen in Bivol

Every time people think he is too old, ready for a loss he comes back and answers his critics comprehensively.

I mean, people still think he is chinny

 

50-50 type of fight. Both can win it on the right night. Though im with Bivol on this one. His boxing is next level.

 

I have nothing against Beterbiev but I hope Bivol fights a great fight and wins. Just because it would be nice to watch, like how he easily dealt with Canelo. If anyone can do it, it is him. Plus he's a humble decent guy with great skills.

But, I have a feeling Beterbiev is going to catch him late and get the KO like he does with everyone. He is a better fighter than people give him credit for and he hits way too hard.

 

It's funny I posted several days ago that I had a gut feeling that we are going to get lots of good fights this year. Awesome news!

I got Bivol by decision.

 

June is too far out. Both guys are always in decent shape, April would have been great.

 

Beterbiev wins by stoppage and probably behind on points when the stoppage happens. Bivol for all his skills simply does not have the power to keep Beterbiev honest let alone prevent him from doing his usual thing.One fighter has sought out the other Champions for there belts and one fighter has not and even though I like Bivol for this reason I think Beterbiev deserves it more. Bivols first time fighting a fellow LHW Champion and it’s for Undisputed !

 

Just based on how Bivol looked against Lyndon Arthur and Zurdo where he pressed forward and fired combinations aggressively I wonder if he's capable of pushing Beterbiev back as well. I honestly think that's his best chance in beating Beterbiev.
