Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Blasts Out Samuel Clarkson in 4th Round on ShoBox

[John Locke]

Been saying for a while Bivol is the best talent at 175. He's an all-rounder, very sharp jab, accurate sniper-like right hand, great timing and he strikes me as a sturdy guy, although that's yet to be proven.

I've been reading some comments on twitter than Bivol fights a similar style to Beterbiev, is this true?

and if so, who has a higher potential, Bivol or Beterbiev?

Eh, I guess you could say that they have similarities. Bivol is lighter on his feet and Beterbiev is FAR more powerful. Bivol doesn't seem to be particularly strong but his accuracy makes up for it. Beterbiev has stronger finishing instincts.
I don't see why they should be compared. If anything, Bivol looks very well-rounded.

Not even sure what that means. I root for American Fighters against non-Americans (dont care if theyre Europan, Asian, or anything else). I was rooting for Sam Clarkson for that reason Last Night. Nothing to do with any panther or not...
