Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol make weight, and speak one last time

[eco1]

Anyone else noticed Bivol's face hasn't completely healed since the last fight ?... Left cheek still yellowish, left eye weird with a good size blood clot.. Maybe nothing to worry about but there enough for me to notice... Also, why a fake weigh-in after the official one... No drama...

I was going to talk about that. Artur will KO Bivol. Both among my fav fighters

The only chance Bivol has is to go ape nuts and go for the KO himself without getting catch.

Am I mistaken, or is it really just $25 for the fight? Or is it $25 plus you have to purchase DAZN?

Yep, $26 straight up on PPV dot com. DAZN dot com wants you to opt-in to the free trial, so I'll go the other route.

I was noticing that too, but mostly back during the promotional stuff which was weeks ago. Are you talking recently? Looking at other pics from today it looks cleared to me.

What do you think

I was noticing it it too for a couple weeks and again today at the weigh-in... His skin tone is already yellowish, so IDK ...Maybe just our twisted imagination... Is Left side sure appears in worse shape than his Right side...Even after 4 months...

Yeah, I have to agree, still a little different in that close-up image. Good enough to go for sure. I'm sure Artur has been enjoying admiring his work.

Is there any possibility Beterbiev could have some more spots of carelessness in the rematch


For example in the scenario he either believes he has Bivol's number and the fight starts out like Round 13. Or, if deep down, he believes he maybe lost the first fight, or found it to be too close for his liking.

Because looking at the final cards, he needed to overtake Bivol during that final push he wasn't building on a lead on 2 of the 3 cards, I believe. And credit to him for doing that because he's had never been the full 12 before. But, should there be any doubts about being to outpoint Dmitry Bivol again without getting more doing early on?

So fight starts out momentarily looking like round 13 on, with Beterbiev already moving downhill.... except that this time Bivol has a full gas tank. Any slight possibility where Bivol can land something to shift the narrative with Beterbiev also wanting to do more early on. Not because Bivol is trying to go ape, but it's actually Arthur trying to do more early on when Bivol is fresh.

Beterbiev looking supremely confident! We may witness KO # 21.

That's a plausible scenario, especially the fact that he's had a tough fight recently (with Bivol) and shouldn't have any ring rust issues like I believe he had last time out.

Yeah it's just something I could see playing out and I'm sure a few people probably think the same but it's also plausible that maybe the quick turn around and the fact he's 40 and had a tough fight only 4 months ago might effect him and bivol steps his game up and wins on the cards this time. Theres a few ways this fight could play out this time thats what makes it still interesting.

Wow! Yes! This amazing event is happening! Zhang vs Kabayel and Parker vs Bakole are great fights! I'm a fan of both Beterbiev and Bivol. This will be a great fight! May the better man win! I can't wait!
