Will Beterbiev/Bivol Look Like Golovkin/Derevyanchenko?

[HeadShots]

Golovkin was looking like a killer still against Murata, Szeremeta, Rolls and Martirosyan. Let's be honest those names are on the same level as Callum Smith and Yarde. Murata was actually an olympic gold medalist and middleweight champ. Those guys couldn't show GGG's age due to them being slow themselves same case with the Smiths and Yarde.


The age really showed when a fast Derev made GGG miss. except Bivol is way better than Derev.

I'd say Murata is above the other names as well as yarde being above Smith. Yarde might have lost to kovalev and beter but he definitely made them work for it. Smith is just plain garbage.

But who knows. Maybe the yarde fight took something out of beter and his age as well probably slowed him down. I expect a good fight from two top level guys though

ya basically callum smith and yarde's fights showed little. neither have good footspeed. callum has a habit of laying on the ropes as well. absolute death sentence.


don't be surprised of Artur can't even land a punch. it's one of those stark style contrasts.

No because bivol can't crack an egg.

beterbiev is not a reckless fighter that comes head first like derevyanchenko. He has smart pressure. Bivol is not a slow-footed, piss poor defence fighter like ggg. This will be a more intelligent fight than that.

[SilverMiles]

I don't see really any similarities. Bivol and Beterbiev are both very much like Golovkin in the sense that all prefer to fight mid-range. Golovkin and Bivol were also effective at Long Range while Beterbiev is good at short range.

Derevyanchenko was most effect at short range and good mid range.

If anything Bivol will take the role of Golovkin trying to keep to keep the fight at mid range. Beterbiev will try force the fight in the inside and rough Bivol up. However Bivol does process quicker feet than Golovkin which he'll need because he lacks two things Golovkin had: a good inside game and elite punching power.

On a side not I like how the mods deleted your thread the other day OP. Lmao on how the white fighters are superior to the black ones

[JakeTheBoxer]

Not really. Bivol will clearly beat beterbiev.

[AKAcronym]

Well Beterbiev won't be cutting down from fighting higher than his normal division, unlike Golovkin did against Derev after he fought Rolls. And Bivol fights nothing like Chenko. Although Artur is older, he has kept in top form, which GGG unfortunately didn't do.
