Maxim was often reliant on being able to smother/tie up opponents, so I think the question is whether he could impose "his" fight on Bivol or whether Bivol could use his abilities to keep Maxim @bay & outspeed him. Personally, I'd lean toward the latter scenario.
This is a fight of the mind with there styles… one of them has fought so many ATG’s I couldn’t name them all (off the top of my head) the other guy fought Canelo and calling him great to most people is stretching it lol Maxim wins this via UD.
