Anyone else noticed Bivol's face hasn't completely healed since the last fight ?... Left cheek still yellowish, left eye weird with a good size blood clot.. Maybe nothing to worry about but there enough for me to notice... Also, why a fake weigh-in after the official one... No drama...

I get a feeling that beterbiev will be victorious yet again on Saturday.

Wouldn't be surprised tbh if Beterbiev stops bivol this time late in the fight because the last fight especially late on you saw bivol take abit of punishment, more than he's ever took before in his career and I think this time Beterbiev coming into this fight not from a long lay off and he knows what to expect from bivol now and he was able to adjust to it, you could see him breaking bivol down.

That's a plausible scenario, especially the fact that he's had a tough fight recently (with Bivol) and shouldn't have any ring rust issues like I believe he had last time out.

All 3 Judges gave Beterbiev the last 3 rounds in the first fight which I agreed with. Looked to me that Bivol didn’t want to get hit anymore and didn’t do what was needed to win the late rounds. He needs to risk it all or the result won’t change.

I was noticing that too, but mostly back during the promotional stuff which was weeks ago. Are you talking recently? Looking at other pics from today it looks cleared to me.

What do you think

The first fight was close. I wasn’t upset with the result. Watching it back the other night with clear eyes and keeping a score card of my own, I came up with 115-113 for Bivol. He was landing cleaner shots, while Beterbiev was landing on his high guard. Beterbiev is a hard boiled guy with an incredible engine, especially for his age, but Bivol was out boxing him IMHO. Marc Ramzay did well to tell Beterbiev that he needed a KO going into the championship rounds.

Agit taking a big risk against Big ****. Not an easy fight.

I saw the last one a draw. I think Beterbiev will do something he didn't do last time & throw uppercuts.
Beterbiev wins by stoppage in rounds 10-12
