He sure as hell was perfect in both fights, had some rough spots when AJ fought like a 6'6 250lb man but Usyk didn't make many mistakes.Comment

I already said this in another thread but I too still favor Bivol. The dude stay focused and gets the job done. Beterbiev didn't show anything we didn't already know about him Saturday night. So my feelings hasn't changed. Bivol by UD unless Beterbiev gets too excited then he might even get stopped.
Also I don't want to hear anything about his age because he has never shown any signs of aging in any of his fights.Comment

Yeah and he is the only guy I see that could do that, its a near 50-50 fight, I only pick Beterbiev because I want to make a pick, its too boring for me to say its a toss up.
Thing is that Beterbiev is a smart fighter and his corner is smart, they know that will be Bivol's strategy, they know they have to cut off the ring which Beterbiev is good at.
I think that is what it really comes down to, Bivol has a massive speed advantage, Beterbiev cant just box him in the center of the ring all night, he has to cut it off and get Bivol to the ropes now and then. His foot work is pretty good but he is slower. If beterbiev can cut him off and control the space then he wins, if he cant and Bivol can elude him all night then he loses a decision.
It will be similar to Usyk-AJ, I was sitting there in the early rounds watching the first fight thinking, wow Usyk is winning, can he do this all night or what happens when he gets tired, but I will be damned he did it all night and he was less tired than AJ at the end of the fight.Last edited by elfag; 01-15-2024, 02:30 PM.Comment

I think Beterbiev will go for a kill in the last rounds.Comment

Bivol isn't crude like Joe Smith. He will access Bivol, just as he did Browne, Yarde and Gvoz. Beterbiev isn't a mindless pressure fighter.
Bivol - Beterbiev fight will be solved in the last rounds. Bivol wins by decision or Beterbiev by a late stoppage. i see no other outcome.
If Beterbiev will be crazy enough to jump on him earlier, maybe Bivol stops him.
Gvozdyk is nothing like Bivol, much slower guy.
One of his trainers with Chris and Paulie

Hard fight to call 50/50 though I didn't like the way bivol responded to the bodyshots last time out I think he's vulnerable there now. Happens to most boxers in their mid 30s sign he needs go up in weight. Makes sense the opatia fight at 190 was put out there recently they are scoping that move up in the near futureComment
