    however you score the rounds can be wide while the fight itself is competitive

    manny won every round against Margarito but went through hell and was forced to work

    Derek got his in fighting Usyk who was uncomfortable with that swarmer style

    Usyk isn’t that guy when it comes to phone booth ranged fighting

        Bivol’s one dimension is one helluva dimension

        Better jab, back foot boxer, defense, durability, and infighter than Usyk

        Usyk is better at adapting, hooking, knockouts, and punching power​
        Bivol has always the same in and out rhytm 1-2, throws the jab the same way, Usyk can throw it differently as piercing jab like a horse kick. Can't really judge his infighting from the Canelo fight because Canelo was tired and sluggish demoralized after a few rounds. The infighting against Beter was just keeping the hands up and weathering the storm waiting for the reset and engage from the 1-2 in and out rhytm again.

          Bivol didn’t infight against Artur in fight 1

          he jeeted and OVERBIKED costing himself the championship rounds

          Nor did he infight Artur in the rematch

          At close quarters Artur’s change of angle pivots, hooks, overhand, uppers, and power make him better on the inside than Bivol

          Bivol game plan was to keep the fight on the outside and midrange

          Saul is better infighter than any Usyk opponent but got whooped by Bivol’s anyways at that range

          Usyk biggest edge over Bivol is that Usyk is better at adjustments

          Bivol took too long in Artur fight 1 during rounds 10 11 12

            In Bivol case one dimensional equals he makes them fight his fight

            it took ALL TIME GREAT Artur to throw him off track for some rounds

              What I will say is that Bivol didn't fight Canelo punch for punch on the inside either. It was more like taking advantage of a shelled up gunshy Nelo.

                  Usyk is great fighter who did his job and fought who was available

                  but would be a top 5 to 10 ranked guy in the golden age of heavyweight boxing Ali era

                    On the inside Bivol used block then shoot on Saul

                    Bivol would counter left hook to answer Saul’s hooks downstairs

                    rounds 10 11 12

                      I'd love to have seen it
                      He is shining in an era at its all time worse.
                      Shot Frazier would be ranked 7th
