    Had Bivol and Kovalev fought last night I don't know what would have happened. Kovalev took a few shots from a pillow puncher.

      That was a fine performance and an electrifying finish by Bivol, but I was actually disappointed that Sully got caught like that in the last round, just when it looked like he was going to have the satisfaction of at least going the distance.

        Well, in a way yes

        But I only agree because Bivol seems to look like he's on another level. He reminds me a little of Klitschko

        I'm surprised how well he has adapted to being at the top of the division

          I don't remember him clinching 100 times so I don't get the klit comparison

            I meant more Vitali Klitschko, he has the presence in the ring directly in front of his opponent, with sweet vicious short counter punches.

            Wladimir didn't always rely on clinches, though he definitely exploited them a la Hopkins/Ward

              He may be green but I have a feeling that he would beat Kov rather easily.
              Definitely the future of the division. He looks that good.

                Bivol really exceeded my expectations against Barrera. I was picking him to win but I felt some reservations about that choice.

                  he schooled and embarrassed barrera. I picked him to win but didn't think it would be that easy. bivol is legit.

                    Four ex soviet boxers in Light Heavy: Bivol, Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Kovalev. ****kenson is getting eaten by any of these.
