Comments Thread For: Bivol Says He Tried to Be 'Close' to Ramirez the Entire Fight, Wanted Him to Gas Out

[tomhawq]

That's exactly what Ramirez didn't anticipate. He became gun shy because he thought he would just walk Bivol down and control the action.

That's what rattled Zurdo. He didn't expect Bivol in front of his face too close without let up. It's all mental games in the end. The one that is mentally-ready wins.

Bivol would do well to avoid a Canelo rematch - the corruption was blatant in he 1st fight where he 'lost' the first 5 rounds on the scorecards. It was actually another 118-110 fight.

Canelo won't lose an 4-8 fight - it'll be scored 6-6 or 7-5 to him - so basically you're fighting him off a handicap.

Blah! You’re a boring snoozing fighter..

2 things I find boring in a fighter, a fighter who is constantly holding and a fighter who is always on his bicycle out of range of his opponent. Bivol does neither.

Bivol is a good fighter but king arthur beterbiev is going to eat the little goldfish at bivol I can't wait to see bivol standing in front of beterbiev to exhaust him beterbiev is very precise with good whiplash and fights like a killer to watch the precision of it's blow against joe smith it lasted 2 round and made 12 round with a bivol and smith was not badly less good when it is beaten with bivol

They mentioned fighters on DAZN and fighters on Top Rank not cooperating with each other. That goes with all the media and promoters who have locked their fighters in. That's one big reason we don't have any good fights. Kudos to Bivol who fought 2 very good opponents inside a year and won. Who else is doing that? Not many.

Zurdo isn't a devastating puncher--neither is Bivol. But speed and precision won the fight for Bivol. Canelo prob would KO Zurdo at 175 but he won't fight him anyway porque es mexicano.

He would fight Zurdo now. What he meant is he didn’t wanna fight Mexicans that could have a chance of beating him

Canelo had no problem fighting Chavez, Angulo etc.

Lets be real, Canelo is Mexico’s marquee name in boxing today. I just don’t think he wants to lose to another Mexican or maybe someone of Mexican descent. Similar to Khan avoiding Brook for years. Khan wasn’t scared to fight anyone but the thought of losing to a rival Brit and the confirmation would’ve too much to handle in his prime.

Then why did Beterbiev run away from DAZN when Bivol joined? Why is it mostly Bivol calling for unification?

Same reason Kovalev uses to always talk down the idea of fighting Bivol when Bivol was coming up

These Russians are fully aware of how good Bivol is. Now everyone else and stars like Canelo are finding out first hand.
