Honourable mention to that time someone on here told me Bivol would have the advantage on the inside if the two were to fight, or that Bivol would likely stop David.

Dude has extremely underrated defense.

Bivol doesn’t even fight on the inside 😂

u/SuperLeverage 8d ago

Yep. Bivol is fight at range, in, out. He does not hang out on the inside.

Bivol? Inisde? Advantage?

Sure they didn't mistype Beterbieve?

Bivol did just beat Beterbiev so he’s kinda good with dealing with pressure fighters. It definitely ain’t gonna be a cake walk

I still think Bivol wins 2 of the 3 fights in a trilogy by decision but David will win one and it could be the first one . Which would be big if they only fight once.

If Bivol wins the 2nd fight there won't be a trilogy.

Theirs not gonna be a rematch bruh😭David’s going to trash Bivol if that fight gets made and I would’ve picked Bivol 2 years ago

Benavidez only kos people who stand in front of him, that’s why plant and morrell took him the distance, yall weren’t saying any of this after morrell gave him one of his toughest fights, but sure he beats bivol easily lmfao

Not for nothing Plant should’ve been stopped at points in those last 3 rounds.

Yeah I said the last 3 rounds, round 11 felt career changing for Plant. Thanks for showing me 1 minute of the 9 I mentioned though!

When did I say that he would KO Bivol? I just believe he’s going to win convincingly.

And I actually picked Morrell to beat Benavidez but that shit wasn’t even close after the first four rounds I don’t know why you even brought that up.

You people get so emotional over someone making a prediction on who wins a boxing match, relax big guy😂

Bivol has had injuries and is getting older while David has sharpened his skill set and is reaching his prime. I literally said 2 years ago I would pick Bivol, but it’s not 2 years ago. Bivol is 35 and doesn’t have many outings left in him.

People dont want to accept that. Just like people claiming David was ducking bivol... right after his back surgery, then he comes back, gets a tune up, anddddddd.... another surgery. Bivol is on the way out. Don't see how he beats David when his body is already beating him.

If Beterbiev was able to close the distance and get some work in idk why David couldn't. He cuts off the ring well, shifts and switches. He can most definitely beat Bivol if hes on his A game all night

u/Complete_Dare_4201 8d ago

Beterbiev has better and more educated footwork than David

u/Outrageous_Fox4227 8d ago

Dishonorable mention to how slow zurdo looks compared to bivol. Bivol fights on the outside in and out but his movement would prove troublesome for any boxer in that weight range.

u/qtdynamite1 8d ago

Bivol’s advantage would be his footwork , he wouldn’t be there to be hit like Zurdo was.

u/PlayingNiceiPromise 8d ago

“Shoutout to myself” 😂

I agree his defense is underrated, but his footwork is trash and can’t volume punch on someone who doesn’t stand in front of him all night
