[@Vamos1969]

Zinad is a decent fighter, with a decent punch. If you watch the highlights of his fights, you'll see the level he is compared to the guys that he fought. He's facing the top level with Bivol. If he catches Bivol then maybe he could win. It's a big if though. The skill and ring IQ that Bivol has is crazy. Bivol will dance around him. In and out, bing bang boom. Zinad won't know what's going on.

[@hughjaynus1093]

[@pundamilia1191]

Bivol has been training for the fight of his life with Beterbiev and poor Zinad will be on the receiving end of that. They say there's always a chance in boxing but not in this fight.

[@jamiedavies6773]

Love you Bivol ur one my favourite fighters today after Canelo I would say such a humble and nice guy. I’m sure u will win Saturday can’t wait too watch ur fight ❤😃🔥💪👌🥊

[@Kane-ez]

😂😂😂

[@jeffbrown-ek8bg]

Zinad has an incredible chin, moves a lot, really long jab and a powerful straight right, the issue is his defense is awful, not his feet but his timing and guard, he is very open to be hit. He is certainly a decent fighter, I don't think he should have been an underdog in the last fight, too many were focusing on jerome's power, when to be fair zinad had more diversity and enough pop to keep him at bay. he did rock him a few times but zinad's chin is very strong, but the reality is bivol is better in everything and yes even power, people still underestimate bivols power for some reason, he has been going against HUGE power punchers for a long time the reason they cannot even slightly hurt him is because he has too much power to keep them away. However I do hope they do give zinad someone after bivol even if he loses. Because I think he deserves that.

[@giadakiah]

accurate

[@hughjaynus1093]

He’s never fought anyone worthy

[@jeffbrown-ek8bg]

@@hughjaynus1093 I don't really like when people pretend certain fighters are "cab drivers" zinad isn't such a fighter and to be fair jerome was ranked top 5 in the division in the IBF, top 20 throughout the division. But yes of course bivol has been defending his titles against the best and is certainly levels above, but to be fair bivol is levels above everyone not named beterbiev and I even think he is one level above him. But zinad is no "easy task" but I know bivol won't act like fans, he is very intelligent and will break him down as always.

[@hughjaynus1093]

[@schultzywillpa26]

They should have added yarde vs bivol

[@MatthewBrown-hy2pn]

This would have been more complicated and therefore the superior choice .... but it's going to be intriguing none the less.

[@SJRivera-js4ro]

Yarde camp rejected their offer, telling them they won't fight unless given more than 5 weeks of proper training before the match.

[@MatthewBrown-hy2pn]

@@SJRivera-js4ro What a shot right it'll be then, I suspect it either has lopsidedness to it with how dominant Bivol is or it's TD given his opponent does leas with his head occasionally ala Holyfield.

I just don't understand! Although this Malik is more to Earth guy then some others of Bivol opponents, but still far from humble. This talk like "everyone will get surprise on the 1st of June guys, trust me"( at 6.09 min ) ...Trust you? You lost in 6th round by TKO. Where is the surprise??? Still waiting.... I mean, when you listen to Dmitri he is so humble and always talks respectfully about his opponents even about this guy, who in all honesty just got lucky to be in this fight, but Dmitri still acknowledges that he needs to be ready and all aspects of fight seriousness. I Never understood trash talking mentality. Its like with Mc Gregor and Khabib. McGregor "poured" so much trash over Khabib only to cry later on in a changing room after being grounded by Khabib in the octagon....

If you watched DAZN exclusively, you would think 99% of the professional fighters today come either from the U.K. or the Middle East somewhere, because those are the majority of the fighters shown on the network. They are typically inferior to U.S. and N. American fighters. I got tired of seeing this, along with soccer and dart throwing competitions, and cut my DAZN subscription. Not worth it.

Your argument falls flat due to the fact that Bivol absolutely demolished Canelo. Beterbiev tore his meniscus which is why a sudden replacement had to be found. And no one else was brave enough to fight Bivol. Canelo has a reputation for ducking for a reason. Bivol didn't duck Beterbiev of all people. Someone is a raging Canelo fan....
