Anyone who thinks Bivol stops Beterbiev needs their head checking.

It’s by far the unlikeliest outcome in that fight.

I think people equate having been knocked down with being chinny and Beterbiev isn't that. Thinking Bivol isn't a safety first defensive fighter is even dumber than that.

If Beterbiev's age and injuries catch up, it's a possible outcome.

Russian Machine Gun >> Russian Shot Gun

Beter will be coming forward into Biv all night until he cant

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Are we really gonna pretend Lyndon Arthur, the ghost of Pascal, Lenin Castillo and whoever else Bivol has gone 12 with are more durable than Beterbiev.

Most likely is that Beterbiev still dominates with 1 leg. Bivol is a good technician but that is it, the last fight in Dubai he didn’t want to go toe to toe with that stand in fighter. Beterbiev has enough boxing skills to match Bivol and is a warrior instead of a technical guy that goes through the movements.

It won't be on one leg, a meniscus shave is not a major knee surgery. Joel Embiid returned to the NBA 8 weeks after the same surgery this year and Karl-Anthony Towns returned after just 4 weeks. And those guys are 7 feet tall and 280-300 pounds each. Beterbiev will be fine when he gets back in the ring. He might have some arthritis in the knee long term but it's not going to make him hobble around the ring in his next fight.

More like Russian pea shooter. Machine guns don’t usually go 12 rounds with C/D level fighters.
