Bivol - Beterbiev Undisputed Light Heavyweight OCT 12 2024 RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA

[robelneo]

He has a 100% knock out win. For a boxer with that record, their mind is more interested in a knockout than pacing themselves to gain points, so Bivol will try to earn points in the early rounds to force Beterbiev to be aggressive and go for knockout in the latter rounds.
That has been a Beterbiev thing throughout the fight, and if Bivol can maintain his gas and not avoid Beterbiev's round rally, he will likely win by decision.
So in this fight, if its a knockout, it's going to be Beterbiev, but if it's a decision, Bivol will take the decision.

Good point, if this fight ends in a knockout then most probably its a win for Beterbiev as he will go for a knockout as always. That's the exciting part of this match as we never knows who will win in this fight but i'm more inclined to bet for Bivol in this fight because he is the younger of the two.

Beterbiev is a knockout artist and so yeah, if there will be a winner that will score a knockout, it will be him. But I do agree that Bivol is going to be the favorite or is already the favorite as of this day.

He looks fresh and ready to go and he is impressive in his last fight and still the Bivol that we know that defeated Canelo already. Plus the age, it could be a big factor as well in this fight.

I've watched some predictions coming from different fighters, and analysts in YouTube, and it's pretty much even.
I mean some are rooting for Beterbiev, and some are rooting for Bivol.

This is one of those fights that you will not know who the winner will be just by looking at their past fights and records alone. It's hard to know who the winner on will be this one. One fighter is one of the best when it comes to power punches while the other is one of the best in defensive tactics, and jabs as well. Like what you said though, Bivol is as fresh as we saw against Zinad and Beterbiev's age is coping up as he gets more injured (just like what happened that cause postponement).

Either way, I consider this fight a "fight of the year" candidate already.

If Beterbiev is fully healed and has trained properly then this could become the fight of the year as both men are equal in strength, it's hard to score this fight just hope it will not become another Crawford - Spence where both are champions and undefeated but Crawford overwhelmed Spence nobody expects an easy fight on that fight but it happened .
We hope its different on this fight and we get to see an exciting fight worthy of fight of the year.

With the fight postponed to October, i think that is a lot of time for Beterbiev to recover from his injuries and be healthy as this fight is one of those anticipated by the hard core fans of this sweet science. Hope this will not be like the Manny vs Money fight where Manny has a problem with his shoulder and only reveal that after the fight. I agree, this one is a candidate for the fight of the year.

With the long postponement, for sure Beterbiev will be healthy that time and there should be no excuses from him if he lost. Same with Bivol, he has waited for this fight for so long, and when the fight was rescheduled, he did take on a get busy and tune up fight and we see him as ready as hell, 100% to go against Beterbiev.

You're right, most anticipated fight and hopefully it can live up to the hype and it so back and forth between the two Russians, it could be a candidate for Fight-of-the-Year.

Fighters are good based on their last fight, and so far these two are still on top, although Beterbiev is coming from a injury But yeah, if it heals right then he will see him as if nothing has change. Same with Bivol who had his get busy fight and won and so he is the freshier of the two but the power department, Bivol has the advantage.

And what makes this figh interesting is that David Benavidez is waiting on the wings and will challenge the winner. He can't wait for Canelo Alvarez as he has Berlanga this September. So another great fighti in the horizon for the light heavyweight and maybe next year it will happen ,winner vs Benavidez.

I can't wait, I think, from a pure sports perspective, this fight could be better than the Fury Vs Usyk one.

With the long postponement, for sure Beterbiev will be healthy that time and there should be no excuses from him if he lost. Same with Bivol, he has waited for this fight for so long, and when the fight was rescheduled, he did take on a get busy and tune up fight and we see him as ready as hell, 100% to go against Beterbiev.

The postponement definitely worked better for Bivol. He stayed healthy and active and managed to score a KO against a lower-ranked but undefeated opponent, which will boost his confidence. Even if Betrbiev recovers to 100%, he will still be behind in terms of preparation. Unless he spent that time thoroughly analysing every aspect of Bivol's game and playing out the fight in his head - then who knows...

Yes, I think he was really given a good amount of time to recover so that he is 100% and there could be no excuses from both camp on whoever losses in this big fight. Although as what the crypto based sports betting site put, Bivol is now a clear favorite unlike when the fight was announce and base on the original fight date, it's almost 50-50. So for boxing fans, a ML bet is already that much appealing, and I don't see any knockout going to occur here as Bivol has also a good chin and knows how to play defense.

What makes this fight interesting is that we really don't know who has the clear advantage over the other. Though Beterbiev have KOed all his opponents but Bivol in this fight we got to see on how Bivol will play his defense strategy to avoid those power punches of Beterbiev while engaging and trying to hurt the latter with his own arsenal as well.

This is still very much a 50/50 fight in my opinion. Beterbiev has the advantage on power, but it seems that age might have catch up with him, and he will be coming from a long layoff and from injuries so that might play a factor in this big fight.

On the other hand, Bivol is fresh from his last fight as he dominated it, and then we won't forget how he beat Canelo, with volume and accuracy and footwork. So it will show here against Beterbiev and going to be hard for Beterbiev to hit that moving target if Bivol shows his speed and boxing IQ.

I have to dig deeper to find this topic, Lol,



I have posted it in the other community, but for sure it might caught your attention because I haven't seen this kind of promotions. Do you guys get pump up seeing this one and wanted to see the fight right away?

That is the same feeling when I watch this promotion..

Very good promotion and they deserve this trailer as if they are both actors in real life. Damn, if only this is a movie, i would watch this even if this would last four hours hehe.

Meanwhile, the odds are shifting and Bivol is now the slight favorite to win this match-up.

Yes, and you know that they really take the time to make this trailer for us fans, so we should be appreciating this kind of promotion and it is being said that they have raise the standards as far as promoting a fight moving forward.

And so we have to thank HE Turki Alalshikh, and true to his words, he is going to make great fights and he will be the biggest influence in boxing in the next 10 years. As he is now a visionary and change the beloved sports that we love.

The trailer is great I'm sure the opening and introduction will be better, They deserve to have this kind of trailer and introduction because they have bragging rights as great champions.

If they put up a fight that people will expect them to be, we have the making of the fight of the year, Its too early to tell about a rematch, but I'm anticipated that they will have a rematch and a possible trilogy

[Kemarit]

^^ That was the grand plan of HE Turki Alalshikh. He had a lot of great fights in the pipeline, whether the fight is going to be held in Saudi or in the US. And it's not just boxing, I even see a trailer similar to this in tennis, wherein the best 6 top players are going to play against each other.

Whether we like what he is doing, we really can't take it away as they have a lot of money at this disposal. So as boxing fans, we could only imagine great fights that they are going to do in the future.

I came across a post on another forum mentioning that Dmitry Bivol and his wife are experiencing a challenging divorce. It was also stated that Bivol’s wife is suing him for physical and verbal abuse.

Do you think this situation will mentally affect his preparation for his fight against Beterbiev?

Nah, I do not think that it will be a hindrance for Bivol, this are elite athletes and they know how to shutdown all the noises from behind and still perform at their best performance.

So for me, it doesn't matter, on the other hand, Bivol might vent all his frustrations against Beterbiev here. Ryan also went on a nasty divorce when he fought Haney, and even the mother was in cancer if I'm not mistaken and Ryan still win the fight.
