Reevaluating Bivol’s Defense And Chin & Artur’s Power

[SouthpawRight]

Now where do you rank each Bivol’s defense and chin on scales of 1 through 10

Didn’t come close to getting knocked down once after 24 rounds with Artur the ultimate power pressure mauler boxer-puncher

Bivol Chin >= 8/10

Bivol Defense = 8.5/10 or borderline defensive wizard. Mayweather would be a 10/10 defense

Artur’s Power = 8.5/10 as high as it gets for someone without one shot knockouts

All credit to Bivol.

I think you are right. I don’t argue your ratings. But I do think that we are starting to see Beterbiev’s age show. Bivol looked so quick tonight. He really had Biev almost turned around a couple times.

They can`t really hurt each other. Artur has amazing controlled aggression, but he can`t hurt Bivol.

Artur’s hunger decreased after finally getting undisputed at 40

he was better tonight physically with a fully recovered knee that allowed him to body attack frequently

but looked tired in the corner between rounds

An expression of why do I still do this boxing sht

I actually believed for three rounds straight early on that Bivol was on borrowed time. Beterbiev looked crisper and meaner.

Talk about skirting the brink of disaster and then turning it all around.

It was a wonderful fight. Both of them.

I thought both hurt each other tonight

but couldn’t follow up to take the other out

Artur has good defense and amazing recovery. Bivol is defensively great with a great chin to go with it

you could tell both are from the same school of boxing

both depended on the straight right downstairs as their primary body blow

Bivol was wise to dial up that right downstairs in the 2nd half to sap Artur in the championship rounds
