Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 Prediction and Fight Preview

The first fight between these two stars was an absolute classic and we should expect something similar in the rematch.

Both went into the first fight unbeaten but now Bivol has a loss to avenge on his record and no titles, after Beterbiev edged a close fight by majority decision.

Beterbiev holds all the titles and the pressure is on Bivol to win them back but I’m not convinced he can alter his gameplan enough to emerge victorious.

Beterbiev applied more pressure and connected with the more eye-catching shots last time out. Neither fighter ever looked in any real danger of being stopped in that first clash so the judges could be required and Beterbiev can win on points once again.

Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 Treble Tip

Hamzah Sheeraz to win by KO, TKO or Disqualification
Vs Carlos Adames

We should get a good idea of just how good rising middleweight star Hamzah Sheeraz is on the undercard as he steps in the ring with WBC champion Carlos Adames.

Sheeraz has a 21-0 record with 17 knockouts, with his last 15 wins coming inside the distance.

Adames is 21-1 and a top level fighter, but Sheeraz could be a level above the Dominican and has a considerable height and size advantage so back him to record another stoppage win.

Vergil Ortiz Jr to win
Vs Israil Madrimov

Aside from the main event, Vergil Ortiz vs Israil Madrimov could be the toughest fight to call on this incredible card. Madrimov gave a good account of himself in defeat to Terence Crawford but Ortiz is a different kind of challenge. The Texan is 22-0 with 21 stoppages and is a relentless pressure fighter, and his aggressive approach should see him edge this super welterweight match-up.
