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.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

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.
