got the skills but his power is below average. you dont need elite power to win though. also he looks small in the division. was it just me or chilemna looked huge compared to him?

Bivolol.
More like Bivoring.
He looked to me like a good four-round fighter. Then he just bounced around and tried to avoid a fight (quite successfully) against an older, slower guy.
He didn’t really try to do anything to dominate, just happy to watch the clock run. Thought he lost the last four rounds on basically not fighting or trying.
I hope he does sign with Days Inn streaming because I’m not gonna pay to see him and it keeps him away from my TV screen.

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.
25-6, you're not a top fùcking fighter.
I swear man, there is like literally 1% of this site that has a brain in their head.

Has anybody ever looked impressive vs Chilemba? Kovalev and Alvarez both squeaked by him. The only time he was stopped was when he broke his hand in the Gvozdyk fight and had to retire on his stool. Chilemba is not a fighter you're going to look good against. Bivol looked great against Barrera who is a quality fighter. Chilemba is the type of fight Bivol needed. You get a lot of rounds against a durable veteran fighter.

No fighter has ever put a real beating on Chilemba, so i don't know why people are slating Bivol for not doing it either.

Bivol can beat anyone at175.
Anyway, Bivol is a good figher. I don't know if he has an inside game tho. He looks smaller than the other light heavys, but he seems to have enough power to keep guys honest. But he is green imo - he didn't preserve his energy for 12 rounds. He spent himself enough in the first half to really lower his output towards the end of the fight.Last edited by SCEN3RY; 08-05-2018, 10:29 PM.
