Dmitry Bivol now has excuses, saying he is not “100%” with the unified triangular lightweight heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev The first battle. Bivol (23-1, 12 KO) said he must now “150%” against undisputed champion Bet Bif (21-0, 20 KOS) in Riyadh on February 22. The rematch will be displayed Live in Daz PPV, and the bottom of the star.
Beterbiev has less than 100% been repaired by a recent knee surgery. In the early rounds, he can be seen as temporary and has no attacks. In Saturday’s rematch, Beterbiev should be a very different fighter. If Bivol takes the 150% benefit seriously, then we can be more dynamic than previous battles.
No more excuses
For the former WBA 175-pound champion Bivol, his fight is important this time, as he seems reluctant to stay in his pocket. His style is playing the tag and then running away. Shakur Stevenson uses a style in his battles, and among many American fans he doesn’t like action rather than watching 12 rounds fencing.
When the judges scored, they noticed who was pushing the fight, hitting harder shots, indicating that they wanted more. That was the last time Betbiff. If Bivol wants to win another decision, he will need to be less defensive this time. He obviously lacks the power to defeat Betbiff, so winning the decision is his only hope.
Crown only: “It seems like a rematch that was completed in a week,” Ade told Dmitry Bivol, Dazn Boxing, who was with Artur Betbiff. Artur Beterbiev’s second battle.
Dmitry Bivol: “the next day.
Ade: “Do you want it? You didn’t say, “Let’s go somewhere else first?” You said, “Let’s go straight.”
Bivol: “I don’t want to waste my energy doing other things. Although (Beterbiev fight) is hot, I think it’s more fun.”
ADE: “I don’t know how the second battle (Beterbiev) will go, but if you say that’s not you 100% I don’t know what 100% Bivol would be.”
Bivol: “Of course not. I have to be closer to 100% of mine. I have to be 150%.
Ade: “Like Superman.”
Bivol: “Not superhuman, just human.”
