    Can Castillo push Bivol and take him the distance?

    Or will there be a gulf in class and Bivol will paint pictures on Castillo and stop him?

    Castillo dropped a decision to Marcus Browne in 2018 so he must have some skill.

    I think it's more than possible that Castillo will not be stopped by Bivol. He should be in a relatively good shape — was chosen as one of the Beterbiev's sparring partners for Gvozdyk.

    Bivol by very wide UD. Maybe even more as 12 point difference on the cards.
    Possible stoppage, but I think it goes the distance.

    This is the biggest fight this weekend. Am surprised at the lack of interest in it

    2nd biggest.
    Usyk's heavyweight debut is still bigger, despite "Terrible" Chazz Witherspoon being the opponent.
    Lenin doesn't have anything for Bivol either, and it's going to be very onesided imo. Bivol will just show how limited compared to the 4 beltholders Browne really is.

    I had a lot of misses this weekend, certainly on friday, but this one was right on the mark
