10/12/24 DAZN/ESPN+: Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol (Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship)

[Figaro]

I haven't watched a huge amount of Beterbiev but from what i seen, he does really rely on boxers back being on the ropes & from what I've seen of Bivol is that he don't really rest on ropes. Always resets to the middle of the ring.

My intuition is telling me Bivol on points but Beterbiev obviously has the power to change the direction of the fight at any point.

Ive picked Bivol, but what are brehs thoughts on Beterbiev vs Roy Jones, this nikka grazing guys and dropping em, would Roy's speed help him out here

If this fight would have happened when originally scheduled, woulda picked Beterbiev. Now with the age and layoff, i’m going with Bivol

Since day 1 I thought Beterbiev would be too much for Bivol and stop him and I still think that.

To me Bivol is a good fighter but he doesn’t possess anything athletically, technically or stylistically that could stop Beterbiev on his tracks for long.

He is doing the “standard”, bread and butter Soviet amateur style on a high level but Beterbiev met that style both in the pros and the amateurs.

Bivol might be faster but I just don’t think he has good enough power to keep Biev out for long and while his defense is pretty good too, again I don’t think it will be enough to stump Beterbiev, especially ehen they are on the inside.
If we are talking about inside fighting… Bivol is on the smaller end of 175 while Beterbiev is a unit, wondering just how durable Bivol proves to be if Beterbiev can apply his pressure.

Thing is those boxers didn’t want to be on the ropes, it was forced on them.

Family stuff that will have me away from a TV all day and I'm not even sure if I get the fight on DAZN here in Chile so I'll probably have to use a streaming site

ESPN Latino wont broadcast it like they do with every other big fight

He forces them..beterbiev can piece you up in the middle of the ring

Exactly. I think his actual boxing skills are underrated. He hurts & stops everyone so they get overshadowed. But the dude can box & sets his shots up nice behind that jab
