  • bivol super easy . boxing 101.
    the katie taylor hype pisses me off. women who can fight with a fraction of skill as men beating up on girls who just have a mean brother or two and had to throw a hairbrush at them as training. its anti boxing and anti what any real fan of competition seeks. watching tyson kill mcneely is not sport.

  • cool thing is this article could have been written this morning because everybody knew the outcome…boxing writer could spend the ENTIRE day in the bar….

  • Bivol is good, but boring. Salamov should have fought the very beatable Joe Smith for the WBO, especially with Smith coming off Covid.

    • Learn to appreciate good boxing and stop
      the talk of Bivol being a boring fighter. Bivol
      is a very skilled fighter. I think he is the best
      light heavyweight around.

  • Without HBO blowing smoke up my ass, it’s now pretty easy to see Bivol is nothing special.

      • I agree Chris. Bivol doesn’t lose rounds. It would be a snooze fest with Bivol winning huge. As long as the judges aren’t completely corrupt. Even Beterbiev’s handlers don’t want Bivol. Nobody does. He’s just too perfect at that weight. Just look how many rounds this guy has lost and it’s unbelievable.

    • Good luck canelo fighting Bivol have you seen his knockouts canelos my man but I think it’ll be a mistake to face Bivol.

  • He’ll beat Zurdo the weirdo just as easy, but the scorecards won’t reflect that. So, Bivol needs to dictate that the fight not be held in either California, Texas, Las Vegas or Arizona. Or, he will get robbed.

    • Hmmm
      Well that leaves the fighting meccas of Idaho, Massachusetts, oh and the Dakota’s to stage what would be a solid scrap!!!
      Stop making excuses for these fighters before they even lose…. If Bivol and/or Beterbiev are so superior, they should have no trouble smashing either Canelo, Zurdo, Benavidez, or anyone else.

  • This guy just doesn’t lose rounds. That’s why Beterbiev’s handlers will never out him in that square. Canelo don’t want none either. I feel like Bivol will have to get the big ones late like Calzage had to.

  • Or step up…….
    Figure if Canelo can step up in weight and “dare to conquer” much bigger men, why can’t the big guys do it?
    For at least a year now, Zurdo has been calling Bivol out. I don’t know if Zurdo can actually beat him, but he stands a better chance than most….

  • Bivol is a beautiful boxer and uses his jab effectively to set up his other punches. His footwork allows him the mobility to box rings around his opponents. I just wish he had more pop in his punches. He punches hard enough when he sets to punch but doesn’t often do it.

    He is a small light heavyweight and stated he can make the 168 lb limit if a fight is offered against Canelo in that weight class. Otherwise, he will just be content to outbox his opponents in the light heavyweight division.

    I don’t know if he can get a big fight against Canelo or Beterbiev. He’s too high risk because of his fast hands and mobility. A fight against Callum Johnson or Callum Smith would be the next best attraction.
