You wanna know if that Bivol fella fought Usyk before they was big shots? Well, let me tell you, these young’uns and their boxing, it’s all a big mess. I seen a lot of fights in my day, down at the local hall, you know, where they got the gloves and the ring and all that.
This Bivol, he’s a tough one, ain’t he? Lost his first big fight just the other day. Some fella named Artur Beterbiev got him. They say Bivol shoulda won, but them judges, they see what they wanna see, I reckon. They was fightin’ for some big ol’ light heavyweight belts. Shiny things, probably worth a pretty penny. Bivol, he had that WBA champion belt, lost it to Beterbiev. That’s how it goes.
Now, this Usyk, he’s somethin’ else. They say he’s the best one out there right now, the best heavyweight. The top dog, the cat’s meow, whatever you wanna call it. Heard he beat some other fellas, one named Tyson Fury, supposed to fight him again in December. They say Usyk is gonna take Fury’s WBC belt. Big words for a big fight, that’s for sure.
Did they fight before, when they was just startin’ out? Well, I heard some talk. Some folks sayin’ Bivol beat Usyk once, way back when. But you know how it is, people like to talk. Hard to know what’s true and what ain’t. It’s like tryin’ to catch a greased pig at the county fair, near impossible. This Bivol vs Usyk thing is a big deal, I guess.
Here’s what I know for sure:
- Bivol, he’s a light heavyweight.
- Usyk, he’s a heavyweight.
- They both fight good, or so they say.
- Bivol lost his WBA belt.
- Usyk is supposed to be the best heavyweight now.
- Usyk is fighting Tyson Fury again.
It’s all a bit confusing, ain’t it? All these names, Bivol, Usyk, Fury, Beterbiev. It’s like a whole bunch of chickens squawkin’ at once. I remember back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy names for things. A fight was a fight. You got in there, you threw some punches, and you hoped you didn’t get your teeth knocked out.
They say Usyk is the number 1 pound-for-pound boxer. I don’t even know what that means. Sounds like somethin’ you’d order at the butcher shop. Two pounds of ground beef, please, and one pound-for-pound boxer. Makes no sense to me.
These young fighters today, they got it easy, I tell ya. Back in my day, they’d fight in the back of a bar, on a dirt floor, with nothin’ but a couple of oil lamps for light. Now they got these big arenas, bright lights, fancy robes. It’s all a show, if you ask me. But hey, people like it, I guess. Keeps ’em entertained. They are calling it the fight of the year. I don’t know about that.
If Bivol and Usyk did fight before, it was probably one of them back-alley brawls. Nobody there to see it but a couple of stray dogs and maybe a drunk or two. Now, they’re up there in the big time, fightin’ for all the marbles. Funny how things change, ain’t it?
This Usyk vs Fury 2 fight, they got it all planned out. How to watch and everything. I don’t know about all that newfangled stuff. I just know that a fight is a fight. Two fellas get in a ring, they punch each other, and somebody wins. That’s all there is to it. I reckon it will be a big fight. Bivol will be watching for sure.
I remember one time, down at the county fair, they had a boxing match. One fella, he was big and strong, like an ox. The other fella, he was small and quick, like a weasel. Everybody thought the big fella was gonna win. But you know what? That little weasel, he danced around, dodged the punches, and wore that big ox out. Won the whole thing. Just goes to show, you can’t always judge a book by its cover, or a fighter by his size. I think that’s what happened with Bivol and Beterbiev. Bivol is no weasel though.
So, did Bivol fight Usyk in the old days? Maybe, maybe not. It’s all water under the bridge now, ain’t it? They’re both big shots now, fightin’ for big money and big titles. And that’s all that matters, I reckon. The past is the past. These light heavyweight and heavyweight fights are all people care about now.
