The only way Bivol can win is to take Beterbiev out with a timed counterpunch

Keep the distance in the first 5 rounds with his hammering jab + try to keep the center of the ring for all fight + defence (try to dodge most of Beterbiev bombs) + combos =

Bivol by decision

 

Bivol is a great boxer but there is nothing that shows his chin is any better than the 20 other boxers that Beterbiev KO’d.

 

Or that he can keep Beterbiev at bay for an entire fight

 

This is going to be an easy fight for Bivol who I predict will KO Beterbiev in round 9. He's gonna tap that chin like others have done but unlike with others there will be no coming back.

Everyone will say father time or torn meniscus. It's none of that. Bivol is just much better than him.

 

And what do you think will happen when Beterbiev taps Bivols chin?

 

He's not gonna find it and instead he just gets tapped out.

 

Been saying it for some time now… As great as Bivol looked boxing his ears off there was still moments where Beterbiev was still doing good work on Bivols body that made him slow down. The judges seem to like the come forward aggressor over the guy moving backwards. Huge respect for Bivol for making it to the final bell and not allowing Beterbiev to go for the kill at the end. But the next time they do meet Bivol should seriously switch up his game and take Beterbiev head on if he wants to ensure a fair decision.
