Can he repeat his Canelo magic against Artur Beterbiev?

Roy Jones Jr. brings a seasoned perspective to the high-stakes matchup between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. Speaking to Boxing Social, Jones pointed out the key differences that might possibly tip the scales in Bivol’s favor. “Not 50-50,” declared Jones Jr. predicting that though the outcome is uncertain, things are not as even as they seem. “One, Beterbiev is 38 years old. Beterbiev has been down. Bivol has never been down,” he explained, highlighting Beterbiev’s age and him being dealt a knockdown by Jeff Page Jr.

Contrastingly, Bivol’s resilience, showcased in his commanding win over Canelo Alvarez, adds to his advantage. “Bivol’s been in there with who at that time was pound-for-pound, the best, Canelo Alvarez. Made him look like nothing,” Jones added, though he doesn’t dismiss Beterbiev’s chances entirely, noting, “It’s not going to be an easy night for Bivol either.”

So, what do you think? Will Beterbiev’s power overcome Bivol’s strategic finesse, or will Bivol’s track record of resilience and technique secure him the undisputed title?
