    Not sure how people can glorify his fouls like low blows, headbutting, elbowing and agressive clinching by calling it strategy/skill just because he remained undefeated on paper.

    The judges overlooked it in because he is fighting his opposition in his home territory with him being a Olympic Golden Medalist from USA. If it were anyone else they have been disqualified.

      the funny thing is he does illegal tactics because of his lack of boxing skills. if you watch him fight bums like paul smith he doesnt do any of that nonsense. when someone is testing him, or better than him out come the illegal tactics. you could even see this as far back as the olympics. in one of his fights hes doing his normal boxing and then he gets completely rocked and spends the rest of the fight wrestling. this is why he refused to join the super 6 unless all his fights were home fights. he knew he could take advantage of his american privilege and he did.

        Ward for me. Bivol could change my mind on Saturday though.

          I think Beterbiev would have beat Kovalev.

              one of Bivol's sparring partners in the training camp for Alvarez mentioned Biv's fav boxers

              Sugar Leonard
              Roy Jonez
              Floyd
              Andre Ward

              Smith Jr hurt Biv twice with overhands

              about a minute into the 4th round and the infamous shot at ending bell of the 10th round

              I would say Biv legs were zapped but not wobbled

              wobble is worse spaghetti legs

                Just rewatched the highlights....yup he got popped a few times. Smith is a big puncher. Makes me alter my prediction for the fight. Still have bivol pulling it iut but theres gonna be some hairy moments for sure, especially if Beter is 100%

                  Bet has knockouts because he’s the top finisher and breaks them down with his heavy hands

                  Tiger Paw Bet

                  I’m not sure if Bet’s one punch power is harder than Smith Jr

                      Ward was a bad fighter, using illegal technics all the time, that was because of his lack of boxing skills. A very dirty fighter. It is a crime comparing Bivol with him.

                      Low blows, cllinching, headbutts, elbows..That was ward˙s "boxing".
