Why do we have to look to 15yr old fights in the amateurs to say a guy can box at a high level?
You don't have to with Bivol his skillsets speaks for itself.
People are just trying to convince themselves then they will claim he is too old.
He simply isn't on Bivols level in anyway, shape or form.
Artur is a phenomenal boxer, great timing and great ring IQ (he shocked Bradley with his timing against JSJ) but when you’re giving every opponent a devastating KO, people think it’s all you’re good at.
his combos are ferocious too. I love his body/body/uppercut.
I know man.
I watched the fight against Usyk in amateur
Arthur landed and catched him so bad, it was a war.
That said me Arthur can box at a high level
Only thing I do know is that it's the fight I most want to see in the sport right now. Above Bud vs Spence which has marinated too long.
I’m possibly with you on that mate. My enthusiasm is dwindling for Spence-Crawford. I’m reaching that Mayweather-Pacquiao 2012 phase where I’ve just given up hoping.
I love the fact Bivol is mentioning Beterbiev when DAZN/Matchroom are pushing Canelo 2 and Buatsi. I think both of them genuinely want it, just hope network politics don’t get on the way as the window isn’t that big with Beterbiev’s age. This fight needs to happen in 2023.
Beterbiev has some of the most underrated boxing skills on here. Cats still think he’s some low IQ come forward fighter.
This…
I guarantee you there’ll be people saying Yarde can outbox him come January. :lol1:
Beterbiev has a lot of tools, very underrated footwork, has a very good punch repertoire too. It wasn’t his power that allowed him to take Joe Smith apart so easily, it was his technique and accuracy. He was counter punching him for at least two of those knockdowns.
It honestly baffles me when people suggest he’s some one dimensional puncher, they literally must have never watched him fight.
Im going to go with Beterbiev as I feel his hand speed and timing is being overshadowed by his raw power, his accuracy has been pin point and fast.
Good fight I hope it goes of next for these two its a great test for both.
Bivol will will win 7-5 or 8-4 if he doesn't get stopped but i do think he would get stopped at some point.
basically if he's chin holds up he edges it on points Imo.
King Artur Beterbiev all fughin day long
Bivol won’t be throwing so much after feeling the power of Beterbiev
Good ring iq , decent footwork and plus power
I like both guys. Artur has great skills also. But I vote Bivol at this point. I believe he is too fast and too young for Artur. But the fight must happen, no need to wait.
Bivol like to exchanges, he is not that Ghost the media is selling
Ramírez landed the 28% of his power punches
Bivol chin is not proven, Beterbiev is the first power puncher with skills he will face
Because canelo power in 175 is average
Exactly.
Beterbiev was able to hurt and land bomba in Usyk in amateur
Beterbiev is a Master , the difference in power is the key

I'm leaning beterbiev but he's getting older. I wanna see what he looks like against yarde first. The beterbiev that beat gvodsyk would win, but 38 years old beterbiev I'm not so sure. Time catches up with everyone eventually.
Damn. I don't know. Only thing I do know is that it's the fight I most want to see in the sport right now. Above Bud vs Spence which has marinated too long. Above Usyk vs Fury which will open with the big man as a clear favourite.
I want to see this fight the most precisely because I have no fucking idea who takes it.
...Only One Way To Find Out
Hell Of A Fight! I would like to see Yarde take some step aside and let them go straight into Undisputed NEXT then just let him get first shot at the Winner
I use to think Beterbiev, hell I thought Canelo would beat Bivol because honestly he just never really impressed me but what we're seeing is that he has Gears and Levels in which he can take things up to another Level and just absolutely break you Mentally. He Broke Zurdo and Canelo, you can literally see "HOPE" and CONFIDENCE" drain out of both Zurdo and Canelo during those fights realizing "No, I Can't Beat This Guy Nothing Is Working"
