Comments Thread For: Rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol 'almost over the line' for February

This is good if the rematch does happen in February as this opens the door for the winner to fight the winner of Benavidez/Morrell.

Nice analysis... But I think Beterbiev will be more incisive since he knows what to expect from Bivol's Power, or lack of... Bivol gave the best of him... I don't believe he will trade more because Pain... That should be a real fight of opposing styles... Not like the first one where we saw Bivol willing to trade... He knows he can't win at that game ... Let's Go !!!!!

Bivol must patiently fire off behind the cover of his jab as he did VS Alvarez when Artur gets caught and backs up

In round 7 Bivol hurt Art with a left hook

But Bivol's follow up backfired. He went super saiyan with combinations on an Artur along the ropes

Art countered him with a nice hard right

Bivol was hurt and lost all of the momentum he had up until that point in round 7

This time around no need to prove that he can hurt Artur. Bet already knows Bivol has enough power

Turki has floated the idea of Bivol VS Bena

If Morrell beats Bena, would they be willing to make Bivol VS Morrell

Good question. I think it would depend on how good Morrell looks if he were to beat benvidez, but yes I don't think it`s out question that Turki makes that fight. He may add another intriguing fight on the same card to make it more exciting.

February would be awesome. Then the winner could fight morrell/benavidez winner later in the year easily.

[STREET CLEANER]

Either the fight will be the same or slower. High skilled fight but it was not exciting and it was close so it was no robbery. I would watch again because in boxing you never know what can happen but I am not really excited for this.

I prefer these measured matches to all out wars

all out wars are rare when it's two highly skilled guys

DANIEL DUBOIS VS JOSEPH PARKER

They tore lumps out of each other the first time. Someone's getting stopped on their feet, and maybe even early.
