Who have you got Biv v Bet?

Would love to see Bivol prevail but not sure how he does tbh - fought supremely well on the outside last time and Artur just not bothered one little bit (tbf he didn't really land clean on Bivol, either). Think he needs to make it an uglier fight and preserve his stamina. Taking it to Beterviev on the inside would be a death sentence for most, but Bivol is good enough to choose his moments. If he just stays on his bike, no matter how stylish, I can't see him winning.

To close to call, cynical me says it goes to a very handy draw, and the Saudi's get their first trilogy headline. Who else is queuing up to fight either? Get paid highest purses of each respective career and bow out with your marbles in tact.
Unless one risks to much and gets pounced on it'll be a border line round or two either way, maybe even SD. 6 years younger Bivol, thought it was closer. Beterbiev probably because he has 'better' in his name. 24 and 21 pro fights respective, huge amateur careers full of success. The difference (amateur) is scoring vs beating someone to death. Bivol naturally a bit lighter.
Big day Saturday, Everton early KO 12:30pm, 6 nations rugby on afternoon, villa chelsea late game, then a massive boxing card on all night with elite level headliner.
Early night Friday I think.
 
Parker being a very good bloke about Dubois' withdrawal this weekend - must be gutting but he's strongly supported the decision to not fight if you're ill. Bakole is taking the fight on three days notice which is pretty wild - would be a great matchup normally but who knows what sort of shape he'll be in.

Yeah spotted that, second on the bill to the headliner, was going to be an important one. And in other boxing news...

mj is a possible masking agent? seems an odd medication to mess with. And obviously it's possible to consume passively.
