Bivol v Beterbiev next!

[Spicoli]

It's all politricks by the wbc. If the criteria for this bs is birthplace, why are they still ranking guys and Arum still putting them on the air under the Jared Anderson fight. Bivol hardly strikes me as a Russian puppet and spokesman and a "major" sanctioning body should be about the merits of the individual fighter and the biggest fights. Meanwhile they collect their fees and taxes regardless . Think about a 'ban' on Nationality, penalizing the sportsman and it doesn't end. Where do you draw the line? Apply this to fighters from Belarus ? who are teasing nukes for Russia? China and Iran providing drones and equipment? It's bullshat.

Beterbiev has got info from Bivol's ex on injuries
He'll beat Bivol up for her

[Spicoli]

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 . I'm going with Bivol on the cards. At least tonight. May change next week...or tomorrow...so ask me then .

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.

Wow. That promo is insane. That's the best one yet...and that's saying something because the ones previous have been amazing to.

accurate?

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.
