Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Truly Believe Bivol Would Win, But Very Difficult To Outbox [Beterbiev] Over 12 Rounds

[elegua]

Bivol must get a pillow before that fight. that will be the end of his "charade"...Beterviev is too much for him in other hand Bivol is not a puncher guy. Won't last 8 rounds.

Bivol wins by decsion or late stoppage

[Jab jab boom]

Damn Hearn, at least stay shut for a week before offering up another one of your bogus predictions. Would’ve thought him screaming to the heavens about how the great Callum smith would ko beterbiev would’ve shut him up for a few days at least.

Only Canelo fans are saying that Bivol will win. Because in their eyes, Bivol has to be the best boxer in the world to have beaten overrated demi god Cinnabon.

Sorry guys. Write this down. Bivol is a very good but very basic boxer and he has mediocre power at best. Biev is incredibly underrated for his boxing skill and his jab can hurt a guy. Bivol's shot is to run all night, but within a few rounds, Biev will start breaking him down and by mid to late rounds, Bivol will be stopped.

I have never seen a fighter go faster from "he is a decent boxer but not great" to "OMG he beat Canelo up, he is the best pure boxer in the sport, he is just incredible". LMAO. I said Bivol would beat Canelo when they announced the fight. Canelo can't win unless his opponents are shot, or he can bully them.

Biev will KO Bivol and all the Cinnabon fans will shout drugs, back of the head, etc.

Those hating on Biev are truly missing out on a once in a lifetime type fighter. Just like Bud haters. So weird that there are people who actively hate great talent because they are talented. I like Bivol. Canelo is a good fighter, he isn't great. Like Spence. It is just easy to see which fighters are great and which are a level below.

Beterbiev is a great boxer. I believe he knocks canelo out ice cold. canelo knows that too. That is why he never fought him.

But Bivol is a different animal and boxing fans will understand that after Beterbiev fight.

If you give me a good outside boxer - mover against a pressure fighter, a pick outside boxer. Even more if he is much younger one.

Again, beterbiev is a great fighter. But his patient stalker style won`t go well against Bivol. When he will try to move closer, Bivol will counter and move. That will be the story of that fight. If Beterbiev becomes too brave, he gets stopped.

Bivol waited out until Beterbiev got older and slower. He never was really serious about facing him until now. I know he talked about it but never put his best foot forward.

———-
I saw the same Beterbiev that I saw 3 or 4 years ago. This idea of moving goalposts to justify a loss or win is what’s killing boxing.
Bivol beat up Canelo NOT just by imposing his physicality but by outboxing him and out hustling him. That same Bivol would handle a younger “Beterbiev” the same way.
But but but, say Beterbiev beats Bivol, where would your “waited until Beterbiev got older and slower” argument go?

[archiemoore1]

I'm going with Bivol. Bivol can beat a man's face in until it's flat like a corn tortilla. U don't believe me? Ask Canelo.

[hhh1200]

Bookies are going to favor Bivol just like Gvoz -145 to +115 for Beterbiev. We will see how Bivol responds to the punches from the 5th round on. Hatman is one of my favorites but he says Bivol has excellent feet and blistering combos. When was the last time Bivol moved around the ring like a young Erislandy Lara and fired off Amir Khan-level combos? I must have missed something.

Didn't he say the same thing about Smith? I think Bivol has the right style for the fight, but Eddie is so good at being wrong it makes me second guess.

[PBR Streetgang]

Nice matchup of styles and skills. Beterbiev is a punishing puncher and has underrated boxing abilities, he also exerts an incredible amount of pressure (mental and physical) on his opponents.

Bivol doesn't hit the hardest and his punch resistance has some questions marks but he has good endurance and very good command of distance and timing.
