will bivols chin let him down against Beterbiev ?

It should be taken into account that Bivol has an extremely good defense and it is not easy to hit him, Beterbiev will surely catch him a few times, then Bivol's chin will be tested...

 

Is beterbiev a brawler? Didn’t think so, I think he’s more of a boxer than a brawler, forget about the kos assume they never happened in his fights, he’d have won most of his fights by wide UDs

 

Was he rocked, dropped?

 

Doesn’t change the fact he was knocked down by them. Beterbiev doesn’t have a Granite Chin. It can be cracked.

 

Maybe another question would be 'Who's chin is likely to save them against Beterbiev?'

Given that relying on chin against Artur is an extremely dumb proposition, one would suspect that Bivol has a gameplan that is not relying on his chin and is focussed on airtight defence, movement and smart offense and workrate.

 

Wouldn’t bother on Bivol’s possible chin attributes, the answer is who will be able to impose his strategy on the other. If Beterbiev can get to you, your chin doesn’t matter you are going down.
Will Bivol be able to frustrate Beterbiev or will Beterbiev have his way like always ? That’s what makes this the best fight we’ve seen in a while, can’t wait for it !!

 

Spot on 100%

 

You would have to be a dynamite puncher to put him on his backside and then keep him there.

Gvozdyk couldn't do it.

Joe Smith couldn't do it

Radovan Kalaidjic couldn't do it

Marcus Browne couldn't do it

Anthony Yarde couldn't do it.

Callum Smith couldn't do it.

None of these guys are exactly feather fisted.

The laws of probability says that Bivol isn't going to do it either.

 

No but he isn't the Pernell Whittaker that you are suggesting either.

 

The only time he's been seriously hurt was when he traded hooks with Callum Johnson, and even then he recovered rather quickly and arguably won the rest of the round, and knocked him out 2 rounds later. Jeff Page Jr. he was off balance. He brutalized and stopped him in the next round.

 

Who has the better chin?

 

Bivol will have to box "perfectly" for 12 rounds. Keeping Artur off of him somehow, someway. Me, I don't see him being successful in doing that. I think Bivol gets exhausted down the stretch and getting mauled eventually

 

Bivol gon stop Beterbiev.
