    Better Defender Andre Ward VS Bivol

    Who has the better defense? Both train their feet equally as much as they train their hands

    this is a good comparison. Defensively as good as it gets without being defensive wizards unlike Pernell or Floyd

    Ward would duck punches, smother opponents, roll his shoulder, block, clinch, and parry

    Biv long guards, Soviet Steps to make shots miss by an inch, parries, and uses pulls and slips

    Id have to say Bivol as weve never seen him get hit flush for the most part. Never seen him hurt, wobble, etc. Wards been kd, hurt, wobbled etc. But in Wards defense he did face better comp tho.

            Beterbiev would KO kov in the pros IMO. Sparring partners say beter hits harder.

            They fought in the amateurs I never seen the video. Betterb iev won and kovalev claims he was robbed

              Prime Kovalev vs Beterbiev is a 50/50 fight imo. Sergey was one scary dude and his long straight punches were like sledgehammers

                Kovalev vs Beterbiev sounds entertaining, Ward vs Bivol in the other hand sounds like Stevenson vs Haney in terms of entertainment.

                Bivol is entertaining when it comes to fighting elite competitors but Ward's fights are just blegh, I tried watching 2 fights, just couldn't bring myself to watch from start to finish.

                  beterbiev turned down the fight when kovalev was on top, doesnt mean he wouldnt have won but its easy to see beterbiev winning now that kovalevs career has fallen apart

                    even when kovalev was beating up and outboxing ward, ward managed to make it relatively boring with his illegal wrestling tactics. oh sorry i mean inside fighting
