I don't think Bivol would come out on top against the Monster.

This is what people don't realize. Beterbiev is a better boxer than bivol he just adapts to his opponent. He's seen many bivol styles in the amateurs.

Beterbiev is the all around better boxer imo
Throw power on top of that and it’s curtains

Bivol is not Browne or Smith jr. Bivol would be by far the best guy Beterbiev has ever fought.

Sounds like someone forgot about Gvozdyk. The killer. Who Beterbiev destroyed.

Bivol is not the killer. Bivol is a decision maschine. I know one thing, he will not stand in front of Artur to get hit.

Beterbiev is arguably the most adaptive boxer in the modern Era.

If Bivol doesn't up the power, he's toast. Beterbiev walks through fire and only needs to land one or two to set up the finish line.

Joe knew he had to hurt Beterbiev early to have any success in this fight. And that was the right plan for him. Artur is obviously much better boxer and Joe would never in any universe outbox him.

But that doesn`t help us to imagine how would Beterbiev - Bivol go. Bivol is a well skilled operator, he won`t try to hurt Beterbiev early, because he is a decision maschine. Bivol will box patiently like he usually does.

But Bivol is still going to get hit by Beterbiev...and it will wear him down unlike anyone he's ever faced. Even Joe Smith caught Bivol and tested his chin pretty good. Bivol is bound to get caught enough times to break down. He's not going to waltz through this without feeling that power. Bivol won't hurt Beterviev at all...he will get KO'd like everyone else.

What about when Bivol tastes the power ?
Smith hurt him and he can’t box for chit

Gvozdyk went 10 rd’s. I think Bivol will be fine. Beterbiev will have to hit Bivol frequently to stop him, it’s tough enough just to land on him. He’s not going to fall inside and get wailed on like what happened with Smith.

Beats him with what though? Power? Aggression? Ring IQ?

Come on man, think logically here.

Bivol has a Russian style of boxing; basic 1-2, movement, circle and in and out. It's simple but ultra refined and it was enough to bamboozle Canelo.

Now, Beterbiev is 295-5 as an amateur and fought 90% opponents with the same style as Bivol - though they may not have been as perfect as Bivol.

Beterbiev has seen it all before. Bivol also is too small. Joe Smith dwarfed Bivol size wise in that ring whereas Beterbiev looked bigger than Smith.

Combine the natural size, power, EXPERIENCE and brute force and it only goes one way - Beterbiev by eventual KO

Well put. I want to see this fight BAD.

I don't get your point. Gvozdyk went 10 rds and then what happened?
