    He's very nervous. Hopefully he can calm himself when going into the fight.

    Rooting for Bivol but I’m rooting harder for a just decision no matter who wins. Two good fighters, contrasting styles, bigger guy vs smaller guy, it has all the makings of a great fight. Can’t wait!

    Fortunately the judges scorecards are not going to be necessary.

    I like them both equally as much, they're absolute standards for how a professional boxer should conduct himself.

    Part of me wants Bivol to win because he's developed into a perfect blend of Russian and Central Asian Uzbek boxing, I've seen his fights since the amateurs and its great to see him evolve into the fighter he is today, he's also been underlooked domestically in the national team and by his teenage coach who said he would never become a champion after he failed to capture the Russian National Championship on his first attempt.

    My other half as come to really appreciate the humbleness and dedication of Arthur to his craft, I find myself wanting him to win just so he can finally tell himself that he is indeed, not just a good boxer, but a master of the sport. Everytime he says he wants to be a good boxer, I find myself believing his words completely, this guy is as stoic and humble as an expert of its field can get.

    The sad part is that one of them will lose, may the best man win, I will root for victory to go to the rightful victor

    For Beterbiev, he speaks so gently, his voice does not match his dangerous appearance...

    Fan of both guys, just hoping for a good fight w/ clear winner! Curious to see if Beterbiev's injury will be an issue though.

    Bivol. frustrating Beterbiev for most of the fight. He will pull away...and win a UD.
    If I am wrong.....I will be nowhere to be found for a few days.

    I honestly love both fighters and have no rooting interest. I'm just glad that the best are fighting the best and at the end of the night we will have some clarity on who is the best at 175 in this era. How ever it goes tonight, boxing fans win.
