Beterbiev v Bivol

OMG!!! No, not the Mets, even though… right… pretty amazing from the Mets! #Mets Nation! #Mets Country #Mets Magic…. no this OMG!!! is for the best fighting the best at light heavyweight. It’s Betterbeer versus B-ball… uhhh… is that right? That doesn’t seem right. Well, either way, these undefeated fighters are about to go head to head on October 12th and the smart money….. is in my ex-wife’s purse so I’ll be gambling with the rent. If I had to bet… I would probably go with… Let’s talk about the fighters first.

Let’s start with Betterbeoff. Listed at almost 6 foot with a 73 inch reach, Artur has a perfect record of 20 and 0 with 20 knockouts. That means that either this guy is an absolute beast in the ring or his opponents were not that good. After looking at a list of his opponents, the consensus is that there should be someone with a tranquilizer gun nearby because the Beast is on the loose this Saturday. For Artur to win, he simply needs to land a shot… Artur’s punches are short, powerful and seemingly filled with tweety bird juice because every time he lands flush you see tweety birds. If he has a weakness, please comment on the comment section because I can’t find it. The people that say that Beetle, ehhh, Dmitri has better footwork then Artur must have not seen the Joe Smith fight and the Anthony Yarde fight. Artur was moving a lot like Gervonta Davis, hitting, going to a preset spot and waited for his opponent to approach and launching another offensive barrage and then moving and resetting again. It was masterclass. Artur is a world class fighter and future real life DC Comic superhero.

Now for Beaver. Listed at 6 foot with a 72 inch reach, Dmitri is probably the most well rounded fighter in the light heavyweight division. Excellent jab, quick hands, superb footwork, good chin, underrated power with good angle movement. Dmitri has a perfect record of 23 wins and 0 losses with 12 knockouts. If there is a flaw in Dmitri’s game it’s that he doesn’t really turn his punches over to maximize his power, actually force. Dmitri is more of a hit and move guy. He’ll hit you double digit shots in every round and he will go smoke a cigarette in his corner, just to make the fight fair. What he’s going to need for this fight is going to be a short crisp left hook, something that I haven’t seen in his arsenal. For Dmitri to win this fight, he is going to have to be on his game. If there is a punch Artur is susceptible to, it’s the left hook from a slight 30 to 60 degree angle, that means he would have to step subtly to his right and launch a quick left hook and catch Artur on the right side of his chin. Believe it or not, that punch can knock him out, if performed correctly, for a laymen, that would be at Artur’s 11 or 10 o’clock if Artur was looking at the 12 spot. Dmitri can win this, but he is going to have to make a lot less mistakes then Betterbeehive.

Good luck to both fighters and I hope they both win (as I bet on the draw for big money) but my gut says Beterbiev KO’s Bivol. But what does my gut know, it gives me diarrhea when I eat cheesecake, so my gut is a dumbass.
