The Face-Off: Bivol vs Beterbiev

Both guys speak very basic English and they are not trash talkers. They are fighters. they should ask them in Russian and get a translator.

I'm not watching this. Both struggle speaking in English, hence they won't be able to speak their minds properly. The guy in the middle should be someone who speak both Russian and English. Oh come on! I don't know how old you are but I'm old enough to remember when Chavez called Camacho A f a g g o t and the interpreter in what has to be one of the quickest and most resourceful actions ever taken by an interpreter... Translated as " my opponent is a feminine man." :lol1:

I think Bivol is more "worried" than "nervous" ... There's a lot more to digest when facing someone like Beterbiev... He has seen footage from the destruction process and how Beterbiev managed to overcome adversities from highly technical fighters (Gvozdyk) and more power oriented fighters (Smith Jr, Yarde)... Beterbiev on the other hand has seen everything Bivol will bring to him from the Soviet school and his Amateur background... I truly believe Beterbiev has a psychological advantage here... Totally agree excellent observation! If Bivol was not nervous he would get knocked the f out. That's called being responsible. You know I've always felt like punchers always have a psychological advantage before the fight. It just doesn't seem as destructive when someone gets in your face and says "I'm going to stick a jab in your mug for 12 rounds, and when you try to punch me I'm going to catch you first!"

is it me or does it seem like bivol seems to be a bit nervous when he has these press conferences and face off with bivol, im not saying he is scared but beterbiev has that big brother who can whoop you anytime he wants aura and they seem to acknowledge it i noticed so many times people replaced Beterbiev with Bivol and/or Bivol with Beterbiev... maybe this is a sign of how excited people are for this fight... :D

These two guys a serious and all business. No fake bravado, playing to the camera or trying to get in the other guy's head with antics.

The answers would be the same in Russian... "We don't give a damn about stupid trash talks and stardom fever..." and "I don't hate that guy personally... I just want his Belt(s) ..."
