Beterbiev-Bivol Rematch: Experts discuss Bivol’s chances
Shakur Stevenson believes Dmitry Biboll will win this Saturday night if he finishes stronger than his first fight against light heavyweight champion Altul Betterbiev, which was unified last October. Bivol (23-1,12 Kos) by Riyadh.
Spiritual war
In the second half, Bibolu withered mentally and physically from the pressure that Beterbiev was placed on him and refused to fight. From a war perspective, he has had a full-scale retreat from the sixth time and never chose to dig in and fight after taking some big shots from Artur.
For fans who enjoy pure boxing, they were depressed to see Biboru crumble in his way, but it wasn’t unexpected if you followed his entire career. I saw the same actions from him in the fight between Joe Smith Jr. and Lyndon Arthur. Bivol is fine when you’re on top. Land all the shots, but when he gets hit hard, he turns and retreats, staying in that mode.
I think Wolf-like Betterviev exposes his mental weakness in his first battle with Dmitry and is ready to end his vulnerable prey in a rematch. This could be short and brutal on Saturday, making many Vivolfans unhappy. If they had studied his past battles, they would have known what the future would be for him. He’s fine when he has a simple mark in front of him, like little Canelo Alvarez, but he falls apart when dealing with the pressure.
“I think if Bivol finished stronger this time, he’d win the fight,” Shakur Stevenson said. Dozen Boxinggave two cents in the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol on Saturday.
Bivol’s safety first style
It’s understandable why Shakur is on the Bibolu bandwagon. They are feathered birds. Bivol is a safety risk type fighter like Shakur, and despite holding the WBA title from 2017 to 2024, he never becomes popular. That title. He wasn’t for his risk aversion style fight.
“This is the mission guy (Betterviev), and Bibolu will have to stand up on a very high opportunity,” said Dazen reporter Claudia Trejo. “If that’s what he can do at just 80% at that age (39), imagine what he can do at 100%,” Claudia said on October 12th. Beterbiev, who has been undergoing knee surgery for this, said. “There’s no politics. That (rematch) happened very quickly.”
“When I saw it, I thought, ‘This can’t happen because they can’t look back so quickly,'” Ade Oladipo said that Beterbiev Bibol’s rematch is happening soon. He talked about it. I always refer to boxers who find tools for problems like mechanics that enter the tool bag.
“He needs to risk more in this fight,” Trejo said of Bibol. “He’s going to have to sit, he’s going to have to hit it, and he’s going to have to go to his toes. What I saw in the first Betterbiev Vibor 1 was that Beterbiev was he is what he is doing his best and literally chasing his prey.”
Bibolu should stay in his pocket more in the rematch, but he doesn’t. He has habits, and habits are difficult to eliminate. It’s like the person who says they’re going to stop smoking. Many of them can’t kick habits. The same goes for Bivol. He talks about being more aggressive, Eyelash taste From Beterbiev he will go out to the race, and that will be the same as last time. If the judge wants to give Bibolu an unwanted victory and pave the way for a trilogy, they can, but that would be an unpopular decision.
“I think Beterbiev has the skill set to cultivate his own path in anything. He is the boogieman in that division. The light heavyweight is his division,” Claudia said.
“He literally emptied the tool bag,” Ade said of Biboru. “He threw everything he could at Beterbiev. I thought Bibolu fought a perfect battle. The problem is that Beterbiev also fought a perfect battle.
