Beterbiev has got info from Bivol's ex on injuries ;D
He'll beat Bivol up for her :cool:
Allllmost there! Can't wait for this one. It's just sort of creeping up on us as let's be honest both are very low key and have not been yucking it up in promotion. Then when they get the center stage, we get muppet Eubanks stealing the headlines. I don't think talk has been loud and constant enough that this main and that card effectively have nothing to do with each other. If anything, it's being used to push that week ppv forward and some fans may not realize it's NOT part of that card ;D. I'm going with Bivol on the cards. At least tonight. May change next week...or tomorrow...so ask me then ;D.
The Distance God / Inverted Reset Step Back King (Bivol) VS The Genocide Supporting / Testosterone Willing Overlord / Bung Knee Terminator (Beterbiev)
That's what this fight should be called (if you can fit it on a poster)

The Real Artur
Because the meniscus tear he and his team claimed was the reason that the original fight was cancelled

Meniscus tears are usually treated by what ? Yup - You guessed it... steroids. So if he ever got caught with steroids in his system during this Bivol camp he could claim it was part of his recovery.
Despite us having clear indications of younger fighters like Sergio Martinez career getting completely finished by a meniscus tear.
We're to believe an older man is not only going to recover but recover in a matter of weeks and head into camp for 8-12 weeks for an October date.
When a meniscus tear can take up to 9 months and you're in crutches for the first 6-8 weeks and lets not forget they announced his injury in May
But Artur has always been passed clean. So you have to give him the benefit of the doubt
Regardless this fight is not gonna be anywhere near as competitive as what people think
Not only wont Beterbiev win the fight. I don't think he'll win a round. I don't see this as 50/50 at all. Bivol going to put a boxing clinic. Bivol has never been down and despite no one ever lasting the distance aganst Beterbiev, he isnt a "lights out" puncher
Gvozdyk was ahead on the scorecards against Beterbiev. The mistake he made was that he tried to sit down on punches and really hurt Beterbiev. Bivol will not make that mistake.
But I love this fight. Both are dedicated to the sport. Both talk very little. This means they're really gonna perform. Expect them to give everything they have in the ring. We're about to witness a special fight for the ages, I'm just happy to be able to witness it.
Come on, that was back in 1970. Fuck me , I’ve had both done and on the second one they made me walk back to my hospital room 20 minutes after the op.Quote:

In the old days , it was all about isolation and restricted movement , nowadays they get you up and moving around immediately.
Really looking forward to this fight, hope the injury and age of Beterbiev have no impact on this epic contest.
I do not think Roy Jones unified the titles so can't remember when last it was done.
Beterbiev has this legendary status (while he is still active) that usually is bestowed on people long after they have finished boxing. Look at all the posts about people like Earnie Shavers and Harry Greb for example.
Commentators wax lyrical about him being an utter destroyer when the evidence in front of you isn’t quite the same.
Yes, he is a really good fighter, yes he has a record full of stoppages …. But he was handled pretty easily by Usyk in the amateurs and in his last few fights he has looked a bit ponderous and easy to hit.
Bivol was excellent against Canelo - another massively hyped big hitter with very slow feet, but who likes to set them before unloading big shots.
I think Bivol outboxes and out manoeuvres Beterbiev for five or six rounds, and gains in confidence when Beterbiev starts to struggle with the pace after expending so much energy trying to catch him up. Might even force a stoppage late on.
I've gone with Beterbiev on pts but I really am undecided. The general rule is the boxer wins and Bivol is better than any boxer Beterbiev has faced yet as a pro. Beterbiev can also box and is not just a puncher. This fight is a great clash of styles and I'm excited to seem them in the ring, better late than never.
I like both fighters Clarke and Wardley. The first fight was epic and I thought Clarke was the better boxer and think he will win this time. They are both decent and good men.
Glad they are getting well rewarded as this is a tough fight for both.
i'd rather be fabio heading into the rematch. if his face can hold up i think he can make the adjustments needed from the first fight to get the win
Gotta say I disagree. I remember watching the first fight thinking if they ever rematch Clarke will beat him.Quote:

I think now Clarke has seen Wardley at close quarters, he can make the necessary adjustments and shut Wardley out.
you could be right. i thought the opposite. i thought fraser showed everything he had & i agree he is the better boxer, it just wasn't enough. the first fight was a foty contender & i'll be happy if we get a repeat. i don't really mind who wins as long as there is no controversy but fabio is my pick
Bivol’s biggest problem might be that Beterbiev’s jab is just as good if not better than his own :o
Bivol also likes to get his own back when he gets caught by a good shot by attacking immediately
Bivol is usually very disciplined outside these instances & doesn’t get lured in
Beterbiev can use that temporary aggression to his advantage
When Beterbiev connects he can wait for Bivol’s obliged response & counter :cool:
Bivol doesn't worry about the crowd, he fights his fight. If that means stinking out the place that's what he does. It no surprise for me if both get dropped during contest. I see Bivol boxing safety first to a decision
Bivol Vs Beterbiev is the fight of the century. Simple as that.
I really couldn't care less if the average person doesn't realize the magnitude of this fight. Bivol wins IMO and wins comfortably........Death by a 1,000 punches. I've been wrong in the past though I'm on a good run at the moment
This is a great card with a lot of good fights on the undercard. Hope the US get to see them all on ESPN.
Wow. That promo is insane. That's the best one yet...and that's saying something because the ones previous have been amazing to.Quote:

Eddie has annoyed Beterbiev.

I feel guilty saying I know very little about these two and not even bothered about watching it.
I knew their names obviously and a couple of their opponents but hadn't realised the magnitude. Wonder how it will sell. This is the kind of fight that even the most casual of boxing fan would have paid for years ago.

Please don't shoot me.
My interest in the game is well in decline from when I first joined on here many years ago.
I'll watch in the morning on catch up.
I am really hyped up for this fight and the undercard will be good.
Watching YouTube all week about this event and it is tough to decide who will win this fight. I am a Beterbiev fan after he became champion and his win over Yarde was the best fight 2023. He easily destroyed Callum Smith last fight and is a beast in the ring.
Eubank comes in the arena with a Saudi outfit and sword. He is a twat.
Ben Whittaker on next.
Whittaker having a hard time against Cameron and no time for showboating so far.
Wow!
Both are injured after going over the ropes. Whittaker has hurt his leg.
Technical decision split draw. There needs to be a rematch but Ben was struggling.
I hate to condemn a fighter after 8/9 fights. But Whittaker is not the champion elect some people have already got him pegged as. He tanked that. Outside of the WWE I've never seen someone appear to do everything they could, to ensure they went over the top rope. Poor.
Eubank scored a first round Knock down but eased off and nearly got in trouble at the end of the round.
Eubank put a lot of pressure in the 4th round but his opponent did not fold.
Eubank scored another knock down in the 6th round with a right cross.
Eubank stops his opponent in the 7th with two knock downs in the round.
Benn enters the ring. Load of pre hype nonsense.
Not impressed.
Still wouldn't mind seeing Eubank - Benn fight.
