    What are you on about? Bivol has been calling out Beterbiev since 2019. Signed with Matchroom to get the fight, only for Beterbiev to leave Matchroom the same day. He's called Beterbiev out after every fight for 5 years. Bob Arum is on record saying he wasn't going to let Beterbiev fight Bivol. The ducking has been entirely on Beterbiev's side, although I doubt any of it was Artur himself.
    You're literally making **** up lmfao. Bivol didn't sign to Matchroom to "get the fight" Beterbiev had a 1 fight deal with Matchroom, then went to Top Rank where all of the LHW champions were (Gvozdyk & Kovalev) Unified, and had a unification lined up with Kovalev before Canelo swooped in

      I'm hoping to see one of the all time great fights where the lead swings back and forth. Does Bivol have what it takes to take Beterbiev through the full 12 rounds for the first time ever. It would be unbelievable if Beterbiev wins by KO and potentially retires as undisputed with perfect KO record.

        Again, easier said than done. Of course this won't be his gameplan but he might not have any other choice at some point than to actually engage. I think many people here don't understand how good Beterbiev is at cutting the ring. He's not just gonna allow Bivol to fight at a comfortable range he's gonna be in his face all night.
        We won't have long to see who is right

          Bruh..........Now you're tapping into his feelings ?!?!?
          Seeking out challenges is a display of egotistical behavior ?!?!?!?
          If so, what's wrong with that ?!?!?!
          Every fighter, and I do mean every fighter, thinks they are better than their opponent and will win.
          Not quite egotistical enough for you ?

              Shortly before Canelo vs Bivol arranged Bivol was having articles written about him being a champion ready to be dethroned.
              If only every fighter were dissected as thoroughly as Nelo

                So what? What was the end result?

                Y'all talking as if keeping Beterbiev at bay is an easy thing to do lol. Yeah he's usually behind in cards at the beginning but they all end up suffocating not being able to keep up the pace. And you seem to forget one thing too: Smith Jr, Smith, Johnson, Yarde all punch harder than Bivol. Bivol doesn't have the power to keep Beterbiev off him. I can guarantee you that Arthur will happily take one to give one and this is bad news for Bivol.
                I love beterbiev I love Bivol too. 2 of my faves. I just think this is a bad match up for artur. It will look like the usyk fights. As good as artur is he’s not fleet footed. Bivol and usyk probably the only ones who can beat him at 175 imo. We’ll see tho. Should be an incredible fight im really looking forward to it. Also I disagree with “Bivol doesn’t have the power to keep him off”. Bivol has underated sneaky power he will knock artur out if he gets reckless

                  I’m not forgetting that. Everybody gets rocked by Joe though. Joe smith got shut out 12-0. Bivol literally made him look like and infant. Bivol never been in a fight he was losing. Beterbiev even in several lately. I’ll make a bet with you in this fight
                  Beterbiev was definitely not rocked by Smith lol .. and crushed him in 1 and half round. re lol How the hell are we going to bet? You want me to send you my bank info so you can transfert the money when you lose? re re lol (This said, I know this is a really close fight to call.. could go either way because both are true champions)

                    Yes, against Callum Johnson, but he wasn't really hurt and crushed him in the next round.

                      We don’t gotta bet money just a gentlemens bet. I agree beterbiev wasn’t rocked by smith I misposke I just kind of meant that if joe hits u it’ll hurt he’s always been one of the most powerful punchers in the division. Also bivol never been down beterbiev has been rocked and hurt and dropped by a few fighters none of them as close to as good as dmitri. It’s just a bad match up for beterbiev he’s gonna be a step behind all night I’m calling it rn. I been wrong before tho. Should be a great scrap
