1 week out from Beterbiev vs Bivol - get your predictions in!

[Jonny Ninja]

am i the only one who thinks parker will take dubois to school?

i think he'll avoid the power and gas him out, then overwhelm him for the stoppage.

I thought Parker would outbox Joyce in a similar fashion but It was Parker that gassed. I think he has a decent chance of winning the fight but he doesn’t constantly pressure you like Joyce or usyk. He doesn’t really fight at a high pace and Dubois has a pretty good gas tank anyway. I’m not sure he has the power to take Dubois out unless he gasses. I wouldn’t be too surprised at a Parker decision but my money is on Dubois stoppage or UD.

 

[Dr Fong]

I think Bivol (decision) and Dubois (stoppage round 4) will win but would be happy to be proven wrong on both accounts.

 

[Muzz_Up]

Dubois by UD!!!!!! Schofield upset!!!

 

[that Indian]

This is one of the best cards in recent memory. Honestly, if boxing puts together like 4-5 of these cards every year we're in great, great shape.

 

[burningspear]

bivol ud - no idea really
dubious ko - parker has clawed his way here but new blood rightly dominates
adames ko - scrappy dude puts it on untested svelte hype0
stevenson ud - with morrell losing lets hope for randoms credibility shakur wins
ortiz sd - pure guess
kabayel ud - everyone's been impressed with this guy
smith ko - joshua 'just does enough' buatsi, not this time

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

If Bivol wins then we're getting a trilogy. Here's the thing though. No matter how crafty of a boxer you are whenever you step into the ring with such a dangerous puncher & finisher like Beterbiev it's like playing Russian roulette (no pun intended). You're really taking a gamble. The more times these two fight the likelier Bivol will end up getting caught and knocked out. Walking that tightrope not once, or twice, but potentially three times is a lot to ask.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Great interview by DAZN that's only 4 minutes long. Artur answers a lot of questions. His English seems to have improved even more overnight.

I kind of want Biev to win now. Just simply so there is no trilogy & the winner can get right to Benavidez.
Plus Benavidez vs Biev is probably a classic war of brutal attrition. Seems like a funnier fight.

I'm cool if Dubois beats Parker. Helps the division move along. Plus I would like the low blow stuff against Usyk to get put to bed one way or another.

Was almost pulling for the Kid Austin upset until his Dad started sounding more & more like a cluck...Forget the fighters, they need to drug test a lot of these boxing Dads.

Big Bang Zhang all the way. I think he's the most underrated and unhearlded HW currently. I believe he has 2 losses he shouldn't.

Ortiz Madrimov....I dont know. 154 always too close toncall currently. Its fun when a blue chip prospect hype train gets derailed finally.
Its also just as cool to see a prospect do something the #1 P4P fighter couldn't do and rise to their equal. Or at least become the #1 contender.
Cool to see the unhearlded dark horse establish themselves too.

I would put Ortiz as more deserving of a big name than Boots if he gets this win.

I think zhang lost both of those fights but were very close. I can see why many scored it the other way. He is a good technical boxer with huge power but his stamina is attrotious for a professional boxer, and he’s fighting a guy with quick hands, good feet and great body work. Imo kabayal is the divisions dark horse, but zhang and bakole have the hype. I assume zhang is favourite but I think he’s in trouble if he can’t get kabayal out of their by the mid round.

no, this is one of the best cards ever assembled, in the past when you have 2 of the top top fighters going up against each other, you generally get utter shit on the undercard, the turki guy has changed the game

i just think it would have been nice to see Itauma on the card, but you cant have everything

 

[treelo]

Dubois by UD!!!!!! Schofield upset!!!

he has a terrible thing of keeping his left hand really low when exiting

 

[Icanseeu]

I don't watch fight live so just recently watched this fight and something interesting was said by the commentator that I haven't heard mentioned on here. It's that Beterbiev had knee surgery five months before the fight. I'm going to say that could have affected his performance and he will be better this time. I thinking a more convincing win with a couple of knockdowns.

 

[Breaducce]

Well hear we go. Great card up and down and one hell of a main event.

Beterbiev starts earlier, finds the body more and TKO's Bivol via late round stoppage 10 - 12.

I have Dubois pulling it off against Parker by SD with both likely getting dropped during the fight.

Shakur UD over Scholfield.

Sheeraz late stoppage over Adames

Madrimov SD over Ortiz

Zhang KO Kabayel

Smith SD over Buatsi

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

I'm gonna say Beterbiev takes a few more risks in this one and gets knocked out, probably in the second half of the fight.

Dubois probably takes it against Parker by KO too, would love to see Parker find a way though, big fan of his and he's put together a nice run since he lost to Joyce.

 

[WklySportsMemes]

Shakur vs Kid Austin canceled.

Oh well. The one fight on the card I really didn’t care about as i can only see one winner

I think you’re the only fan on the planet predicting a bivol KO! Fair play to you if it happens dude

I’m the same with Parker. Always been a big fan, really likeable and classy dude but I think Dubois is gonna stop him at some point. I think this is gonna be a cracking fight though and hope I’m wrong on this one

 

[WklySportsMemes]

I think its terrible for boxing that the faces of some of these divisions are fighting no hopers while still fighting once maybe twice a year if they lucky with thin resumes.

There were a decent amount of Shakur haters that were hyping up Kid Austin. Was kind of interested in seeing it. Or seeing his Dad crash out after the fight.
I also think it's kind of funny that people are calling his dad "Auntie" lmao. For his feminine energy and made up stories.

 

[chardog]

picked bivol first time around, but beterbiev is a force of nature, the pinnacle of persevering fighter, and he's going to do it again.
