Amazing Fight candidate from now on for the best fight of the year. Yarde looked much better than I expected, but Beterbiev's power is inevitable. Beterbiev has shown that he is not only KO Power, he also has good technical fundamentals and has shown that he is capable of coming out ahead when he faces adversity. 
I still picking Beterbiev over Bivol to win the potential title unification.

I feel like ppl are giving too much credit to Bivol after the canelo fight. He did perform well in that fight but the scorecards were 115-113 ik it's bs but still. What Beterbiev would of done to Canelo after tonight's perfomance? Exactly. 

Obviously Beterviev is no spring chicken but he does have solid chin and footwork. Don't forget he had hand surgery that's why this fight was pushed back. I do lean towards Bivol more in their matchup but he has only 1 way to win by decision. Whereas Beterbiev can TKO/KO him or even win by decision if he scores a knockdown or 2. Beterbiev has way more experience, better resume, even him Bivol helped Beterbiev prepare for the Olympics i listened to his interview. 

I don't think this fight gets made this year tho 1) Canelo vs Bivol 2 is next 2) Beterbiev will most likely to face mandatory Smith 3) We all know boxing huge fights like that having 2 different promoters take forever.
