All those that said Beterbiev was taylor made for Joe, where you at now? Who’s taylor made for who?

$10k any of u haters. He beats Bivol.

Don’t have $10K but I will gladly delete my account if Bivol loses, but not before posting in the fight’s aftermath to admit wrong-headedness.

Screen shotted this for the time.

People who thought Joe had a real chance should stop watching boxing and find another hobby.

Seriously. Joe's corner yelling and screaming from the get go was irritating as h ell . Can u imagine how Smith felt ? That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure Joe had a gameplan in his head. But with that corner screaming like, I'm sure it scrambled Joe's head a bit, nevermind getting pounded at the same time. If I'm Joe, I'm telling his corner to shut the F**K UP next fight.

Squaring his feet up when punching too.

Poor Joe looked like an amateur in there.

Yes, very good point

Bivol is an exceptional tactician but I don’t see him making it past this power. It isn’t just power however; he literally is an excellent boxer as well. This Beterbiev wrecks Bivol.

You know other boxes are waiting for Beterbiev to get old overnight. He is in his late 30s, 37 to be exact I think.

Might as well be 30 with how he manages to never take real damage.

Every 68er watching Beterbiev like “guess it’s another year of cutting more weight…”

I've been huge on Bivol for awhile now, but some doubt is creeping in as to how I think he'll stand up against King Artur.

[MulaKO]

The cat is out of the bag
Now you all know he can box , has excellent footwork and his power speaks for itself
And trust me , he ain’t old for 37
Tell you what , I wouldn’t be surprised if he fights passed 40

Gvozdyk said that Beterbiev skill and technique is underrated as if he only relies on power. This is also something that JSJ team overlook, that Beterbiev boxing skill, IQ, ring generalship, is beyond good, it's top class. Smith Jr has 3" longer reach, but Beterbiev has experienced an even bigger man in Usyk during amateur, and he is still probably the only guy that ever knocked Usyk down.
4 belts unification is mouthwatering, also because Bivol is the only high quality LHW left at this moment. This will be battle of skills, especially on who can get the range earlier. If Bivol can neutralize Beterbiev by keeping him at bay, then yeah he has a chance. But few hard shots of Beterbiev is enough to slow down Bivol then creating more damages. I would say it's 60-40 for Beterbiev, kinda similar to Gvozdyk fight but probably with more boxer and footwork from Bivol.
