Comments Thread For: Hearn: 'I Would Say Bivol Is a Big Favorite Against Beterbiev'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn has no doubt that Dmitry Bivol is now the man to beat in the light heavyweight division. The Russian 175-pound WBA titleholder picked up a career best win last month with a unanimous decision over Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez in their 12-round light heavyweight title bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Not so sure about that. There’s a big difference between fighting Canelo and Beterbiev. Beterbiev brings elite pressure and heavy punches to his arsenal and I doubt that he’ll gas out like Canelo did.

Possibly true. At least bivol has a win over nel o while beterbiev only has think would beat nel o at this point

[BillyBoxing]

Beterbiev ain't no midget lightheavy like Nelo, Nelo is for sure elite at 160, 168, but at 175 I dunno.

"Bivol, regarded in some circles as “shot” judging from his previous two bouts..."

Shot?
What circles?

[mlac]

fan of both but 'd favour beterbiev by KO. hope it happens this year either way

[ThunderFists]

Eddie hearn used to be a little bit likeable. Now hes just straight up a dingbat. Whenever a fighter beats his fighter he will then big up that fighter as a way of trying soften the blow his fighter was dealt

[STREET CLEANER]

Since Hearn feels that way if Beterbiev wins against Smith he should be working on them fighting. He can say that but if they don't work on getting the fight together it is a moot point.

That is THE FIGHT @ 175 ... I think Bivol will edge it out before fading under the mauling late... King Artur will prevail !

Also... Ginger isn't Bivol best win by all means... If anything average Joe Smith Jr gave him more trouble and he lost by a landslide ... Corrupt judges tried their best but they just couldn't justify the fraud...

[War Room]

Honestly, the lines should open at even money. Hearn is a moron and just dick riding at this point.
