I'm not convinced that Beterbiev can beat Bivol

[Rad]

Joe Smith fought like an idiot, Bivol is not gonna fight like an idiot.

Bivol schooled Canelo without even having to get out of 1st gear, Beterbiev is much more dangerous and Bivol will def have to push himself to the limit to beat him. But boxing at the highest level is less about power and more about skill, more like a high speed chess match. Bivol's skills are sublime, his chin is solid, and most importantly he has a lion's heart.

Don't get me wrong Beterbiev with his relentless pressure will be the hardest fight of Bivol's life. But I truly believe Bivol can pull through.

I believe bivol in on another level

Hes a special type of fighter ...he has manny pacquiao type footwork ..perfect timing and shot selection and his distancing is remarkable

Beters good but bivol is up there as a p4p talent and will be for a long time


I honestly don't see bivol being in trouble against beter ,I see him dominating beter quite easily and being top dog of light heavyweight for a long time

Only time I see bivol struggle in the future is with lack of motivation because it will just be too easy once he clears the division out



And Joe smith isn't a real challenge to top light heavies

He made a name retiring hopkins at the right time he doesn't belong at this level and never did....

Bivol was underdog v Melo and he is favourite v beterbiev. Bivol is a PFP now. Funny how people didn't conclude bivol was a PFP before beating Melo? So it's resume that makes you a PFP?

[JakeTheBoxer]

I see it the same way. Boxing on elite level ( excluding maybe a heavyweight) is less about power, more about speed and skills. Bivol is about 6 years younger and he is faster than Artur.

Bivol will not stand in front of him and wait to be hit like all other opponents did.

You can look through my posts and see I had bivol beating canelo even posted a bet slip however I was sketchy about the judging beforehand



I realised bivols talents against pascal of all people and that's why I chose him over canelo



Pascal may have been beaten to a pulp many times but he was in every fight as he has a granite chin and swings back in the middle of his opponants combinations whether he's winning losing or drawing with counter hooks that keep him in the fight and if he's been beaten up it keeps the ref from stopping the fight


when attempting counter hooks against bivol not one of them landed in fact bivol took 3 or 4 steps back by the time pascal launched his counter hooks


Bivol is a remarkable talent and doesn't get enough credit

[Stuntman Mike]

Bivol will take everything beter does good away from him and dominate him over 12 rounds or possible stop him if beter gets wreckless and frustrated

[Dakuwaqa]

Bivol is an elite boxer

Has very good power

Has a decent chin

Styles make fights

It's good of you to not underestimate bivol and overestimate nelo? But now bivol is a pfp fighter surely he's favourite against beterbiev? So beterbiev must be considered a PFP if people think he's favourite against bivol?

[LetOutTheCage]

He can defo beat Bivol but Bivol can also beat him. Bivol is the better boxer and stylistically would cause lots of problems for Beterbiev just because he is always moving, however I'm not convinced Bivol can avoid the power for 12 rounds though

It is 50/50 fight. If the fight happened this year I slightly favour Artur over Bivol. However next year when Artur is 38yo has less chance to win.
BIvol is able to outbox Beterbiev!
