Beterbiev vs Bivol

[redmish]

I think bivol would beat beterbiev at this stage because he hasn't shown any weakness yet. Beterbiev has shown he can be badly hurt.

He’s south Asian. The county he was born in borders China and is even further central and south than Khazahstan.

Kyrzygstan is not south asian lol wtf ?! It is central asia

[minemax]

Beterbiev isn’t cautious at all brah. Exact opposite actually. It’s how he got knocked down in his last fight. He doesn’t like being cautious

He is very cautious for a Chechen fighter.

I'd root for Bivol. Beterbiev is a snake person from what I've heard from different sources. Bivol is humble and what I like about Bivol is that he's always calculated, disciplined and focused. And all you can say about Beterbiev is that he's a big puncher

Kyrzygstan is not south asian lol wtf ?! It is central asia

I meant to say central. I have no idea why I said south. Likely meant to say South of Kazakhstan.

Bivol will win with superior footwork and working from the outside. UD victory.

Beterbiev knocks him out

Bivol stoppage I'm really not sold on Beterbievs defense or his chin. In fact everything about him power included is overrated.

[New England]

A Russian vs Chechen superfight. Who do you guys take in this? Assuming Beterbiev makes it past joe smith jr. Im gonna fall in love with the puncher and go with beterbiev late round stoppage.

honestly a very intriguing fight. classic matchup between two guys who do one side of the classic matchup very well. bivol can box, beterbiev is a massive puncher. LHW is honestly a very decent division right now.

like you, i think there is a lot to be said about a power puncher at LHW. bivol will need to do everything right until either beterbiev slows down, or the final bell. have not seen enough from him to know that he can. unless i'm missing something pascal seems to be the biggest puncher he has faced, and he's way past it.

Beterbiev is too slow and stiff. He has power, but at his age and with his inactivity, it's fair to suggest he's regressed a bit. He almost got KOed in his last fight so he's also a big chinny it seems.
