I think Zurdo will beat Bivol.

I was pretty impressed by zurdo when he fought that cuban guy. He also took a massive headbutt to the jaw and didn't even flinch, he's tough for sure. Bivol is not a hard puncher, he couldnt even hurt a washed up pascal. He has excellent technical ability though.

 

Zurdos has a shot
But it will require hell bringing Mexican mauling style war of attrition-esque combat.
Which bivol will do his best to avoid.

ZURDO would have to make the fight ugly ala Marcos Maidana for all 12.
I just don’t think he can out skill Bivol on the cards…. he will have to get him out of there.

 

Zurdo has basically beaten no one of note except an older Arthur Abraham on his last legs. This will be his 45th fight and he's been a pro for 13 years, a odd career to be sure.
