What is it about Bivol that makes him soo good despite looking ordinary?

[GrandpaBernard]

Yup your right
Makes it look good although his shots are not hard but they are precise
And that is his way of getting in out without letting the other boxer get a shot in because of the return fire
That will also be a downfall for when he fights Artur cause Beterbiev will take two to land one of his own like he did against Gvodzyk
Only difference is Arthur’s shots come in heavy

Artur is that good at applying pressure?!

[HeadShots]

Bivol has natural athleticism that his opponents can’t match and he has a shrewd mind.

to put it simply he’s faster than everyone in terms of hand and foot speed.

he can do the most basic things. You just won’t win in a game of tag



he doesn’t need uppercuts or head movement. He unloads a combo he’s out. He hits u with a 1-2. He’s out.

He doesn’t need to take risks. And he doesn’t want to. This type of shrewd psychology with his physical ability makes him hard to beat

Is that a question or a statement

Question

about taking two to land one Pascal landed more on Bivol than most opponents

Bivol paid for his lack of head movement in that fight

I would say definitely but the difference will be how much can or does Bivol deal with Beterbiev’s power ?
Pascal was also not at his best at that moment and way passed his prime
Pascal was already on his comeback tour at that moment

Bivol separates himself with high volume

he uses his feet a lot and throws a lot

other master boxers like Floyd Rigo Lara didn’t throw many shots

indeed, but my point was he shared a level accuracy like Floyd, if you care about statistics.

Its very difficult to beat someome that accurate and also statistically the best defence. Then add in the volume of Bivol. So you're against someome who is basically the best and hitting and not being hit.

It's very difficult for an opponent to overcome those things, no matter how hard you hit. That's why a lot of those fighters don't seem to shy away from big punchers. Floyd was accused of ducking guys, but he fought a lot of big hitters. Fighters with this incredible ability to hit and not be hit rarely fear big punchers.

Bivol my fav style today even with Inoue and T-Bud being the best all around

I hope Bivol gets the victories over Beterbiev and David Benavidez

Bivol adds those names and his record is looking damn good:

Alvarez
Beterbiev
Benavidez

That is why he is calling out the biggest fight in the sport in his own division, rather than 2 euro nobodies that can't draw flies in a different division? Yes must be fear. You got it. Why is Canelo ducking Ramirez 2.0?

Your guy wants a big payday to lose to Canelo rather than move to 175 and lose to Bivol and Beterbiev.

Stop being so insulting of other fighters when you're a fanboy for an unproven puncher.

[_Rexy_]

To simplify it, he has awkward, unconventional rhythm and very solid fundamentals. He punches when a fighter is resetting without looking sloppy doing it, he sticks to his fundamentals, and makes mfers feel uncomfortable in there with his rhythm. And he rarely falls for traps

You never feel comfortable even finishing a combination off on him and resetting your offense; he'll get shots off during these sequences. Very unconventional, and extremely high IQ

It’s just the Soviet pendulum. Yes he’s fantastic at it, but I guarantee Beterbiev faced that style when he had his 300+ amateur fights in *checks notes* Soviet Russia

[Superbee]

Bivol looks anything but ordinary... His foot work, his stance, his hands speed, his general technique... Everything in him screams Elite... You just have to rewatch the Canelo fight and every time you do it you find out how much Canelo was just a passenger ...

That said, Bivol will bend, fold and submit at some point like all the others... That's just the way it is... No shame in bowing to the King ...
