So..... How do we see this one now? Is your opinion different after last night? I used to favor Beterbiev but maybe Bivol's ring IQ and defense gets him to undisputed.

would look like Ali vs Liston
Bivol boxes his ears off. I've always said it. Wouldn't be so sure he gets by Smith Jr tbh -
Beterbiev easy.......sorry but the canelo fight has many guys heads blown up right now about bivol. Canelo is overrated and still has the same exact flaws as 8 years ago. Bivol is not some "master class" boxer by any stretch and that fight would show why.

I favour Beterbiev. Bivol will have to move a lot more than he did vs Canelo. He’s capable though. I’d say I’m 60/40 in favour of Beterbiev.Comment

I've always like Bivol in this one, when Beterbiev beat Gvozdyk I wavered, but he's shown in another fights since that he can still be crude and simple at times. He falls over his punches too much on his front foot and overshoots, which Bivol would counter him off of. Certainly Beterbiev is dangerous and could win by KO, but I've always thought and still think that Bivol out boxing Beterbiev is the most likely outcomeComment

50-50 but let’s see Beterbiev get past the ****er Joe Smith.
Bivol-Beterbiev is the second best fight in boxing besides Spence-Crawford.Comment

Very difficult fight for me to predict. Kinda feel in line with RJJ-94-02=GOAT. I'd put it at 60/40 Beterbiev. Bivol has been hurt before and I'm not sure he can absorb the punishment Beterbiev likes to dish out.
Bivol has tremendous footwork and measured boxing. Beterbiev is getting older...it's a close fight but I still edge it in favor of Artur.Comment

Bivol 70/30....just too much movement/great footwork,distance control,jab and outright skill for the plodding Biev. Bivol will have to be in excellent shape though to continually force Beter to reset and now allow himself to cut off on the ropes.Comment
