    Bivol vs. Beterbiev - the BEST undisputed fight in recent history

    Although Crawford vs. Spence was a GREAT fight on paper, it'll always be marred by the fact that Spence wasn't the same following the car crash and years of hard partying unlike clean-living Crawford. Had that fight happened a few years ago, it would've been a much closer fight and NOT a one-sided beatdown.

    Similarly, Usyk vs Fury was shaping up to be a genuine 50-50 fight until Fury getting dropped and arguably BEATEN by Ngannou on his pro debut took the wind out of it's sails! Fury ISN'T a disciplined fighter outside of the ring like Usyk either.

    Therefore, all things considered, Bivol vs. Beterbiev is the BEST undisputed fight in recent history as both guys are entering the fight without showing any major degradation in the ring or suffering life changing events. Although Beterbiev is 7 years older and recently got injured, he's still an absolute KILLER having recently stopped Callum Smith for the first time plus Bivol is now considered a genuine threat following his victories over 'undefeated' Mexicans Canelo & Zurdo.​​

    Agree but if recent history is anything to go by, the fighter with less wear and tear will prevail.

    I expect Bivol to win a close one

      Bivol's head might not be in the right place because of all that's going on with his estranged wife - he looks stressed and puffy in the face lately

        what would “puffy in the face” mean? That he’s turned into an alcoholic?

          Agreed but I think it's more to do with Bivol's fighting style plus he's actually had MORE pro fights than Beterbiev. Bivol is constantly on his toes darting in and out and is a long, rangey fighter so I DON'T think Beterbiev will be able to corner him and knock him out like every other opponent.

            I was going to mention that but apparently they got divorced in August last year so it's been a while. He's also had a couple of dominant victories since then so doesn't look badly affected.

              But she is still messing with his head and beating the drum about how he barely pays any child support for his children

              So now the cat is out of the bag, more people will pick up on it
              ​​​​​​
              She is angry she isn't get a piece of the supposed $10m he is getting against Beterbiev

                True but I think he's already got a new gf so was probably the one who initiated the divorce. Also, he's a highly disciplined fighter in his prime so I don't think it'll be a major issue.

                    Biv replaced her with an Iraqi Arab Architect

                    Biv wife was a rich girl from a wealthy family.

                    Biv smart inside and outside of the ring. He won the game he only deals with useful women lmao
