Bivol needs to keep the jab landing all fight and Beterbiev needs to land body shots to slow down the feet of Bivol.

I favor Beterbiev to win probably by split decision - he will land fewer shots but he will land the heavier blows - so it comes down to the judges .
Beterbiev needs to land body shots to take Bivol's mobility and drain his stamina but he also needs to counter Bivol's pesky jab by coming over the top with well-timed right hands. He's really good at this.
 
Bievs always intense but somehow that little verbal jab from E.Hearns i think bumped him up even more - i think hes gonna wanna hurt Bivol now even more so -as thats him reaching his promoter the only way he can..man its like X-Mas eve. WW3 dont start today
 
I dont know. The Benn Eubanks situation was pretty low.

Don King put on some legendary fights too.
So did Bob Arum. Doesn't excuse what they did or became at times IMO
don king literally ruined people's lives, he's in a category of his own. arum put on big fights when there was really nothing left to do, and even then did it reluctantly. he's the definition of "letting fights marinate". i always felt like hearn was actually trying to get big things going in the sport, rather than just talk about it.

i'm not naive enough to think he hasn't done shady shit, but my point is that as far as promoters go, he seems to be the least shitty one, both as a businessman and as a person.
 
I know many gamblers who put heavy money on this fight.

The gambling industry is the first winner of this outcome. The light heavy weight of the century, without a doubt.
 
Have a feeling Beterbiev finishes him in the 9th. Bivol will most likely win most of the round up until that.

I don’t think people dislike Hearn because of how he matches fights, the guy is a decent promoter. Unlike many of these fossils he actually does his job. He just comes across like a douchebag, and he tends to get mouthy with the opposing fighter. Like dude that’s not your job, promoting doesn’t mean getting in a pissing contest with fighters when you’ll never step in the ring. He’s got the spoiled rich kid arrogance where he thinks he’s God’s gift when in fact his dad handed him a business on a silver platter.

I agree. He just had a confrontation with Haney and most recently called Beterbiev arrogant at the presser. One of these days he's going to do it to the wrong fighter and get nailed. It's inevitable.
 
Reminds me of Wilder-Fury 2 where (almost) literally every prediction was either Beterbiev (Wilder) via stoppage or Bivol (Fury) by comfortable decision.
 
I think it s crazy that Bivol got his left eye fucked from blocking Biev s right with his gloves. As I said many times, Biev breaks apanyents from accumulation of damage, he does not „catch“ people.
