As someone who felt that Bivol was absolutely robbed in the 1st fight, and won clearly in the 2nd fight...
@chunky_mcdaniels does NOT represent Bivol fans whatsoever :dead:

I actually like Beterbiev and think he's an underrated Boxer
I don't ever represent any fans of any boxers.

Beterbiev isn't the issue, there's a narrative that has been made that I am incapable of being impartial due to his alliance with a war criminal, however it's not the case, I just don't reward blocked punches on the scorecards, it's simple, others do. I do reward counters and clear power punches however.

Apparently that's unhinged according to some pundits on here because I don't pander, so be it, whatever. :manny: Enjoy them sour grapes.

Benavidez work rate and power will win over Bivol, who I like.

Beterbiev was super pedestrain in both fights, especially fight number 2 (I thought he lost both). Benavidez v Bivol NEEDS to happen.

And when he wins like I think he will, Canelo's legacy gon' drop

Benavidez power does not look noteworthy at 175 at all.

If Bivol can go 24 rounds with a dude who had a 100% ko rate previously and not be visibly wobbled once, Im not seeing how Benavidez power will effect him to the degree its fight changing.

He is not going to outbox him, or outwork him either. He has no reliable avenues of victory beyond the fight of his life and Bivol being washed overnight.
