    I still stand, Bivol beats Beter.
    If he stays elusive enough Bivol wins, so I go with Bivol too. There is the possibility though that Bivol will try and engage and that would be a serious miscalculation on his part.

      Only one was hard lol against Callum Johnson, the other against Page Jr was a flash knockdown after getting hit off balance. You're reaching there brah...

      And you can see Beterbiev has improved since that Callum Johnson fight where he now fights off the backfoot or moves like he did against dangerous punchers like Joe Smith Jr. Also he has NOT BEEN HURT in any fights since then when his level of competition has actually improved.

        Smith was way out of his league anyway...I've said that since the fight was announced.

          Muhammad Ali was dropped in his career also
          What’s your point ?
          Or is he not a factor ?

            I think everyone knew Smith would get beat easily here. I don't think this fight proves a lot.

            Worrying about the possible PED use though. Dillian Whyte had a similar thing first time round - 2nd test cleared him but he didn't get the level of support this guys gets! Wonder why?....

              I don't think it matters in this discussion whatsoever. The point is that Beterbiev hits like a monster. It likely will not matter what his chin looks like against Bivol because he simply does not hit hard.

                Youth advantage to Bivol, and possibly mobility too, but I think too many people are still sleeping on BeterBiev's ring IQ and skills. I really hope this fight gets made, just to clarify the division. Though Beterbiev vs Benavidez in an 18 ft ring would be a barn burner, a more entertaining fight for most fans.

                  Why ?
                  +300 amateur fights , 20 in the pro ranks and never even a peep or anything else about dope or anything else that would be deemed bad
                  Anyone who has followed his career knows he’s a fughin gym rat , when not training a remotely devoted family man
                  Quiet , keeps to himself and does most his thrashing in the ring
                  Not quite the same thing can be said about Whyte
