Bivol wins by UD

[BlackRobb]

Power and brute strength alone won't beat Bivol.

Power and brute strength alone won't beat Bivol.

Betterbeef isn't just power & strength though. That's a common misconception. When you study what the man does, his economy of movement, the way he sets up those vicious short shots, the angles he creates.. The way he controls his opponents so they're working flat-out all the time while he's cruising... He's an absolute monster. There's a lot of parallels with Inoue and a smattering of Monzon in there too. I don't expect Bivol to do much better than Gvozdyk managed.

Cant wait to see those two on the ring. Intriguing stuff.

Emperor Zhang has spoken!

He's old enough to have been around in the time of the Emporers that's for damn sure

[just the facts]

For sure he will stop him!

Based on what exactly?

Bivol close UD.

Beterbiev is slow footed and Bivol is the exact type of fighter to capitalize on that. Bivol UD.

Wouldn't surprise me. It could also turn out a bit like Crawford vs Spence, with Bivol looking like Crawford.

Why is that ?
How is Bivol going to outbox Beterbiev ?
Please tell us problem child

You could say the same about Gvozdyk, who incidentally, beat Bivol as an amateur.

Beterbiev fights from a very stable stance, always well-balanced and well-aligned. He doesn't rush, he stalks like Golovkin did and waits for openings. His positioning is excellent and he's a pretty good counterpuncher. Timing beats speed.
Artur has a 100% KO ratio as a pro and he's ended a fair few careers. Joe Smith Jr gave Bivol trouble, even had him doing the chicken dance at one stage.
Beterbiev dealt with Joe, who'd never been down before, inside 2 rounds and he's never fought since.
I get that a lot of people are big on Bivol because he schooled Canelo, but Canelo was a blown up MW fighting a LHW. Bivol is a very good fighter, but Artur knocks him out. No-one at LHW beats him.

Will you be putting money on Bivol?

[MulaKO]

how would Beterbiev do vs Zhang?

Waste of Skin
Boxing is dead
