Bivol is one of the best fighters I've ever seen...
Bivol's boxing is simply put, sublime.
He may not go for the KO like Kovalev, but he'll school you in every exchange and has no weak links. Unlike Sergey who was a mentally weak bully, Bivol is a Man of Steel- a fighting machine with an unbreakable mind and spirit, a true man of character who will get the job done against any odds.
He doesn't look as "slick" as Ward or Hopkins, but his defense is just as good, if not better. He makes you miss with the tiniest of movements, statistically he has the best defense in boxing. No fighter has ever realistically taken more than 2-3 rounds off him. The man leaves no controversy, no doubt in all his fights.
He may not be flashy like Roy Jones Jr, but he has truly mastered the fundamentals of the sweet science. Jab, footwork, distance, timing, defense, counters, combinations, ring IQ, inside, outside.... Bivol is strong in every single area. Everything he does is simple, smooth, effortless and effective. Most importantly, he's never caught off-guard or loses control.
On top of that, he is a genetic specimen. As an Eurasian hybrid, he has the speed/reflexes/IQ of Asians, while having the muscular size and strength of Whites at the same time. This makes him a very hard man to beat.
All of that is why Bivol was able to dominate Prime P4P#1 Canelo 10-2, while having EVERYTHING stacked against him.
Beterbiev is still seen as the Man at 175 by lots of people. But I'm calling it now: Bivol is going to beat Artur Beterbiev 100%.
We are witnessing a legend in the making, the era of Bivol is just starting.
WAR DIMITRY BIVOL :boxing::boxing::boxing:
P.S. A lot of fake boxing "fans" seem to still not want to give the man credit. Shows that a lot of people really just don't know boxing or recognize real when they see it, or just full of hate. Sad!!
