Beterbiev Vs. Bivol II: Does Bivol’s defensive style cost him another victory?

Dmitry Bivol hopes to revenge this Saturday to challenge Artur Beterbiev for the indisputable light heavyweight championship in a rematch at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on February 22nd. Masu.

Fans believe there should not be a rematch as Bivol showed he had no heart to fight in a defeat to Betterviev on October 12th. The rematch is pointless and only gives Dmitry a second payday. Fans will see the same boring fight, Bibolu appears to be chasing him in the 12th round.

Bivol’s flexibility

Without a different way of thinking, Biboru doesn’t think he can demonstrate the courage he needs to defeat Betterviev. He has the physical tools to win, but everything else is missing. That’s what will keep Bibolu from winning on Saturday. If Bibolu can stay in the pocket, he can win. I don’t see it happening.

Their previous fights showed in October last year that Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) ran and didn’t hold when Betterviev (21-0, 20 Kos) was under pressure, It means that you have to show that you are burning courage. It seemed so obvious to anyone watching the 34-year-old Bivol lack the mental shooting to win.

Bivol is set in his way that is inflexible and resistant to change. He has always fought defensively throughout his professional and amateur careers, and will not be transformed into a rematch on Saturday night. He is a typical person who cannot change.

During the interview, Betterviev sounded like a determined fighter who had planned to attack Bibolu from the jump and force him to fight or run. Unless the judges cherish Vibor’s lack of ti-sick engagement, they will give Beterbiev a victory.

Turki Al-Sheikh placed the battle of Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Israil Madrimov Undercard as the main event, and rematched Beterbiev-Bivol 2 in two or three locations. It’s not as exciting a fight as the Ortiz JR-Madrimov matchup for the average fan. That’s not Betterviev’s fault. Bivol is the problem.

“As athletes, every athlete doesn’t want to lose. They want revenge. They want to find the wrong thing. Dmitry Bivol told Dazn Boxing that he said last October 12th Artur It focuses on correcting mistakes from previous defeats against Beterbiev.

“I really believe he understands what he needs to do and what he lacks. He’s trying to add that at this camp, so I don’t have any questions this time.” said Vadim Kornilov, manager of Bivol.

For revenge next Saturday 😤
