Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Boxes Past Jean Pascal To Win Decision

[Damn Wicked]

119-111 is a fair card.

Bivol seemed way too content to just win a decision. Pascal was looking worn out and was hurt a few times throughout the fight but Bivol was satisfied with being safe and winning rounds. I can understand the "safety first" approach but it looked like Bivol is very calculated and cautious. The media and fans will be much less excited to see that kind of fighter than a fighter that will fight with fiery temperament. He did a good job tonight but I think he would've done better for himself had he pushed Pascal harder at the end of the fight. I think he could've got the stoppage.

I definitely understand. Kovalev was #1 after Ward retired. After he gets beat, they’re acting like he wasn’t #1. And we all know why.

Exactly.

Bivol lost 2 rounds max. Pascal needs to retire now, got one last payday. Hang them up, Champ. Be proud of what you achieved. Fought in some great fights against many quality opponents. Not a Hall of Famer but definitely a Champ.

Bivol is a sound boxer and a very effective counterpuncher
But I’m not sure if he would be ready for the bigger punchers of the division
Beterbiev would maul him and knock him out in my opinion
This was a stay busy fight and that’s about it
Absolutely nothing to gain from this fight for the boxers , promoters or the fans

Beterbiev destroys Bivol imo

[fixpont]

Beterbiev 33, Bivol 27, Bivol outboxes him and wins in UD easily.

Bivol had a lara type victory, he boxed beautifully, could work on his body attack to open guys up more tho

Stop with your inane Ward worship and racist innuendo.

Kovalev proved to be a better fighter than Andre Ward period. Just like ggg proved better than Canelo, with just politics giving them victories to justify the USA boxing establishment. Kovalev was overrated and he made Ward look like the overrated fraud we all knew he was.

Think Bivol is too fast (hand & foot) for very stiff Beterbiev.
