lol im just using your own logic 'not a huge puncheer? but omg they nearly killed someone!'

once gvo got to title level his power was much less noticable. he scored 1 kd in 4 fights, despite landing regularly, and that was late in the fight. good power, but not a huge puncher whose power consistently a clear presence once he got up to top level. vs someone of bivol's boxing skill, i think at most it would make bivy cautious, but not shut his game down or get to him for kds or a stoppage

Yeh and he hasn’t had THAT MANY fights either.. so the % was higher than it was when he retired.

Possible Bivol could get on his bike, but not for 12 rounds surely unless he stinks the joint out

Bivol. First time I saw him I think was against Agnew. I thought then he was a future great.
