Comments Thread For: Confident Andre Rozier says, 'No one beats Artur Beterbiev'

Both fighters are undefeated and they have always found the way to win - in different ways. One thing that stands out to me is this - there is only one truly ELITE, accomplished fighter on their combined resumes - Canelo Alavarez, love him or hate him. Joe Smith Zurdo ramirez, Marcus Browne or Gvozdyk are not even close to that level.

I can see Bivol having some success early, winning a few rounds, but I struggle to see him keeping Arthur at bay for 12 full rounds. Bivol simply doesn’t have the power to keep him off. It’s easy to say 'all Bivol has to do is stay on the outside and pick his shots,' but in reality, it’s not that simple when you’re up against someone like Beterbiev. Not only does Arthur have the kind of power that can end a fight at any moment, but he’s also an excellent boxer himself. I think the reason why these so-called ''experts'' aren't giving him the respect he deserve is simply because they're not even watching his fights.

Bivol might take the early rounds, but eventually, the pressure will be too much. Another key factor is Arthur's ability to cut off the ring. He won’t hesitate to take one shot from Bivol to give one back, and the power difference will be telling.

In boxer vs puncher matchups, I usually favor the boxer 90%+ of the time. However, people are overlooking that Beterbiev is far more than just a puncher. When I hear people mentioning his age and injuries to argue against him, it makes me wonder if they’re even watching his fights. Aside from maybe a slight decrease in speed, there’s nothing in his recent performances that screams decline.

And honestly, Eddie Hearn needs to chill. I get that he’s frustrated after a rough year and a poor record against Montreal-based fighters, but he’s talking too much. If I were Bivol, I’d tell him to relax—you really don’t want to poke the bear. Remember what happened to Bellew's against Stevenson?

i did not hear " all the experts " say that Josh was going to win, not trying to debate the whole comparison but it is a lousy comparison. Josh is done has been for a while his challenges were just to get in the ring in shape and when it was a real challenge he folded on the floor. Better is a good fighter a powerful fighter a well trained fighter as is Bivol. But Bivol has a real challenge before him Saturday Night just a Better has a challenge but both have meet there matches in the past and showed themselves inside the ropes, Josh did not for a long while just the facts just the facts of it. I am no expert on boxing that is for sure but i got a favorite in this one and it is not Bivol but that dont mean could not win but it does mean to me that he will not win on Saturday Night. And yea it is going to be a damn good fight no matter how long it goes.

well maybe go back and look...almost anyone interviewed said Joshua would win and the poll on the ppv showed something like 95% of ppl asked picked AJ LOL. so really it a spot on comparison thanks

Arthur’s tick and mumbling to himself has always made me feel he’s on adhd meds which are just legal methamphetamines. Medical use exemption should be public.

...how TF are you even going to comment on this fight if you don't know the difference between Artur Beterbiev and Arslanbek Makhmudov??
