The main reason I believe Bivol will win

[SouthpawRight]

Very few fighters have gone into a fight, with Arthur Betebiev with the ambition of brawling and whacking him out 'I think most have relied on the possibility, that Beterbiev will have a sudden drop in performances levels and? They will be able to catch him with big punchers, or exploit this decrease in his game'.

All of Arthur Betebiev's recent opponent's, have only brawled and fought Beterbiev head on 'When they did not really have a choice, because Beterbiev had slowly but surely went through the gears and made the fight into his genre'.

I have stated in my previous posts, that Dimtri Bivol is the easiest style to back in this fight 'Historically when two diametrically opposing styles like Bivol and Beterbiev clash? The fighter who is renowned for their pure boxing skills win's over a series of fights. The fight is a clash of peak for peak boxing archetypes, Bivol is the skill for skill pure boxer and Beterbiev is the pressure fighter. Those are the predominate area's of their game, which separate's them from their nearest competition'.

Note: Therefore Dimtri Bivol may well be winning the rounds in this fight, but? Nobody for sure knows, how Bivol is going to react to Arthur Betebiev's power if and once it lands upon him 'I can envision a fight where Dimtri Bivol is winning the rounds, but in the process is putting a extreme level of effort into those tactics while not really inflicting much damage on Beterbiev. In this style of fight although Dimtri Bivol would be scoring points, there may be a impeding sense of doom and peril for him. As slowly but surely Arthur Beterbiev increases his gears and gradually begins to get closer and closer, making the rounds more difficult for Dimtri Bivol to dominante and win'.

To conclude: So as you can see? Classically Dimtri Bivol is the most straight forward and easiest style in this fight to back 'Anyone who has ever observed boxing for many years or decades, can envision a fight where he is able to win over the distance'.

But when you analyse both fighters beyond a surface level, and you envision more scenarios that could happen 'That is when you see how Arthur Beterbiev, can win if he is in solid form coming into this fight'.

Dimtri Bivol is the most easiest style to back in this fight, he is in my opinion the ever so slight favourite 'But both fighters peak for peak, in solid form. Have the attributes to beat each other, they are potentially stylistically the most challenging and worst match ups for each of their styles' etc.

id describe Bet as power pressure mauler

I prefer the term pressure over slugger or brawler

the gameplan for the bigger puncher almost always ends up being pressure

Bet fans end up sad when he’s called puncher. They think puncher equals no boxing ability

So excuses are already there.

Canelo was too small, Ramirez was drained, Beterbiev is old and injured.

After that will you guys say Bivol must beat Opetaia.

I will not say that.

He's going to win because he's younger & healthier.

That's just boxing.

I will come in Saturday to humiliate OP after Bivol is KO'd

[famicommander]

Beterbiev is 40 & coming off a huge injury.

That is why Bivol will win,

A torn meniscus is not a huge injury. He didn't even have the full meniscus repair surgery, they just shaved off the torn part and rehabbed it.
