Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Impressed, Very Eager To Fight Artur Beterbiev

Koval.. No, Gwozdyk cant take it to the body!

When you get hit by Beterbiev to the body not many can absord those punches.. he hurt Osky and fee HW... The bivol vs Beterbiev will be boring as well bivol will be on his bike the while fight.

Beterbiev might be the best pressure puncher of all time, he just never got the chance to prove it until saturday. The only boxers in the history of the sport who can take Beterbiev's punches are the ones who don't get hit with many of them, or knock him out before they can get hit by many of them.

Name your favorite LHWs of all time, Beterbiev probably knocks them out. He's Khabib and GGG in one and he hits harder than either. I won't say he's more skilled than GGG but he has better "craft," he doesn't reset, he goes from position to position much better, like an elite grappler in MMA does. Whoever trained him did a masterful job.

Yep I agree
Would love to have seen Kessler, Carl Froch and Roy Jones match up that would have been something of a dream.match up or even Joe Calzahe .. Beterbiev can box people forget that.. it was level going into round 9 imo and Gov is an excellent boxer.

Artur Beterbiev has already been knocked down twice by bums, Bivol would have a good chance of beating him.

Beterbiev will be the favorite and rightfully so!

He just demolished the second best arguably the best at 175 and took the firepower like an open armed hug!

I don’t think Bivol hits as hard as Gvozdyk possibly not even harder than Callum Johnson!

He’s more athletic than Gvozdyk and faster an has more variety to his offense but he doesn’t dictate distance better, doesn’t try to insert his will, and not as strong!

Bivol would have to get stronger and hurt Beterbiev with a shot he doesn’t see and fight a perfect fight!

Would be tense just like Beterbiev vs Gvozdyk was!

My boy Bivol really is a smooth operator (and i say "my boy" because he's half ethnic Romanian)... But right now Beterbiev would walk through him, tbh...

Just wondering if you’ve watched any of Biev’s amateur boxing? Vs Usyk, Kov?

... if not for the headgear, Baterbiev would have stopped Usyk at 200 lb!!!

I actually like Bivol's chances. He has the skills and the athleticism to make it interesting. I don't like how easily he gets hit by lesser fighters but maybe he'll be more on his game with a fighter like Beterbiev.

[HeadShots]

there are a few mistaken perceptions on Bivol and Beterbiev.

Beterbiev is not a 1 punch KO artist. like WIlder or Julian Jackson. He's an accumulative thudding puncher. Gvozdyk got hit with plenty of single power shots flush in the first 6 rounds without taking a knee or being knocked out. I don't think he's that durable or defensive.


Bivol will not be hit with a body attack because of his footwork and compact fighting style. He never gets hit by combos. He only gets hit by 1 offs.


This is actually a bad match-up for Beterbiev. I hope it happens and all you idiots put your money on Beterbiev.

No man born from his mother can beat the Beterbeast at LHW

Bivol gets flattened
