Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol: Prediction
The two titans of the boxing world finally meet after years of waiting and Terence Crawford believes that Bivol has what it takes to end Beterbiev’s incredible unbeaten record.
Speaking live on Instagram, Crawford said: “I think the best man’s gonna win. The one that executes their game plan the best will win in that fight. If I had to pick one I’d pick Bivol because of his boxing skills, his movement, and just his will to keep a fighter at the distance that he needs. I think that’s one thing that’s gonna carry him to victory.
“Beterbiev, he’s strong, he gonna be coming to fight, but I think Bivol’s jab is gonna stop all that forcefully coming straight forward”
