Bivol beats Beterbiev. here is why

[JakeTheBoxer]

I'm picking Beterbiev by stoppage, even blocked or glancing shots seems to bust up and damage opponents. Bivol would have to be perfect for 12 rds, keep a high pace behind the jab, and not touch the ropes to win a decision. I don't think he can do it.

The same people felt like Usyk should be perfect for 12 rounds to beat Joshua. Well, it wasn`t like this, Usyk wasn`t perfect and still beat Joshua, twice.

GGG is a middleweight, I believe Bivol hits harder than GGG.

I know GGG is middleweight but his power was cruiserweight boxers were saying

[JakeTheBoxer]

All guys Beterbiev fought in his championship fights had something in common.

They all felt in love with their power too much and they all tried to KO him at some point.

Another fact guys here ignore mostly. Bivol is nothing like that and he also knows he is not a hard puncher.

So far, we know Beterbiev stops all hard punchers in his division. lets see how he does against a master boxer, younger than him.

1 is the least important when a guy has not suffered any damage.
A career of Callums, a guy can fight well into his 80's.

I feel, unless Biv is caught cold, Beter will be out boxed.
Brains > Brawn

agree that smaller ring benefits beterbiev


beterbiev has good defense when he wants to. Bivol doesnt have much power, beterbiev can take some degree of risk to land his own, he isnt a wild sloppy guy but he knows he has to take some risks to apply his pressure, hes got a good jab too and sets up his shots. I pick him as the slight favorite. Bivol was rocked by Joe smith, we seen him hurt before its not like he is iron chinned. He can win but he has to fight, not necessarily perfect, but make very few mistakes.

Beterbiev all his shots are hard, so there is no one shot for guys to look out to avoid.

The bolded is a big factor. Also, fighters at the level of Smith, have to be able to plant to throw with power, hard to do when going back... beterbiev has that chin that allows him to risk getting hit when pressuring a guy back. Bivol is better than Smith, but the same logic applies. beterbiev can work Bivol over in that "peek a boo" style Bivol comes forward in.

Bivol wins this because he's younger. Beterbiev probably wins if they're both 32. But this is the fight that is going to out-stamina Beterbiev and that's why he's going to avoid it.

Care to bet on this idiotic statement ?

Than I guess the fight won`t happen. Unless if Saudis pay Bivol insane money which they won`t.

Bivol is not completely ******, he will not fight Beterbiev in a baby ring.

If the Saudis want that fight, then money is no object.

Bivol isn't turning down that Saudi cash.

Agree.

Bivol ain't turning down Saudi money over ring size. Neither will Beterbiev. If the Saudi's want this in a phone booth sized ring or an Olympic swimming pool sized ring I'm guessing the Saudi's could make it happen lol.

You are probably right, actually.

[MulaKO]

Bivol will need a big ring , more running room cause his only chance of winning is pulling a AJ vs Ruiz 2
