Bivol is not what I expected

I agree I cant see him beating Alvarez.

Best fighter at 175 for me. Skills for days.

Chilemba is a top notch contender, won 4 or 5 rounds against Kovalev, on the wrong end of close decisions against Bellew and Alvarez. Bivol just shut this guy out. Only Beterbiev would give him a run for his money imo.

First time seeing Bivol tonight. Very unimpressed. Not sure what the hype is about.

He looked great against inferior opponents!

Chilemba is a proben fighter.

I saw a lot of skills in Bivol. He is just not a power puncher

Looked like Bivol tried to steam roll Chilemba early then realized he was solid so tried boxing .
Chilemba also looked like the bigger man towards the later rounds of the fight.

I think Bivol is solid but hbo talked him up too much and he couldn’t match the slurping lampley in with a tough smart vet like chilemba. Solid win tonite. Showed great combinations and good movement.

Bivol can beat anyone at175.

No one looks good against Chilemba. But I noticed things against Sullivan that were present against Isaac. I know HBO want another LHW star but for now, I don't think Bivol is quite there

He's a skilled and quick boxer, however he's not a big puncher and he's physically not a big big LHW. He's an interesting boxer but some people just go crazy and start making statements that Bivol will rule the division and blablabla..

Chilemba is legit, nobody is going to outclass him

That said, Beterbiev is my choice as the class of LHW. I just hope he can prove it before his age is too great a factor.

Bivol is not what I expected
