Great discussion Ring brothas on the AB/Bivol fight. I wanna ask you guys that are leaning towards Bivol, do you think he has the power to keep AB off him for 12 rounds? I’m saying no because Marcus Browne, The Nail, Callum Smith, Joe Smith, & Yarde couldn’t & they all punch harder than Bivol. They all got grinded down with AB for the most part using his underrated jab & boxing skills to setup his power. I don’t think Bivol has anything in his arsenal AB hasn’t seen or dealt with. And if Bivol gets trapped on the ropes like he has in his other fights (specifically Canelo) he’s gonna be in for a long night

Bivol rarely/if at all sits down on his punches. I believe he has at least respectable power if he chooses to use it. He hasn't had a reason to yet/even with facing big punchers already
