Dmitry Bivol is working on improving his strength ahead of his fight with undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiere on February 22 in Riyadh Husband (Artur Beterbiev) for the rematch.

Beterbiev defeated Bivol by a 12-round majority decision two months ago but was given a second chance due to complaints from fans and Dmitry’s promoter. There is no real controversy. All in all, Bivol’s nerves have given him a break and he doesn’t want to fight Beterbiev.

Beterbiev dominated and deservedly won 8-4. I watched this match and Beterbiev won 9-3.

second round

Dmitry looks like a scared rabbit in previous battles and unwilling to fight. like a wolf Beterbiev was forced in the sixth round. It’s hard to imagine the rematch being any different than the first fight, as Bivol lacked the chin, power and, more importantly, the courage to stand up and fight Beterbiev.

Dmitry is talking about wanting to be more aggressive in the second fight, but Bivol’s fears will resurface when he gets in the ring with Beterbiev and the cannons start raining down on his position water surface. He would then run around the ring just like last time, much to the boredom of the fans. He has no fighting spirit.

Two months ago on October 12, former WBA 175-pound champion Bivol (23 wins, 1 loss, 14 KOs) lost to Beterbiev (21 wins, 0 losses, 20 KOs) in a 12-round majority decision. ’s game, his power game was flawed. If he wants to win the rematch, he has to improve himself in this area.

Turki Sheikh gave Bivol a chance for revenge, but if he was defeated this time, he would have no chance. his promoters and loyal fans complain about losses Last October, he believed he had done enough to win, but he didn’t.

Ideally, another opponent should be allowed to challenge Beterbiev instead of an unnecessary rematch. The boxing world would prefer David Benavidez, Joshua Butsey or David Morel to face Beterbiev rather than the defensive Bivol fighting again.

Adjustments to Bivol

The Beterbiev-Bivol fight was boring because of Bivol’s defensive style during the fight, which included him using a Shakur-esque three-foot step back, move, and hold. Beterbiev spent the entire fight attacking and chasing the rabbit-like Bivol around the ring.

The 34-year-old Bivol escaped when he began to pressure Beterbiev in the second half of the game. He made it clear he didn’t want to get it confused with being an undefeated unified champion.

What Bivol must do to win the rematch

– Stay in your pocket: don’t run
– Be brave
– Sting more
– Attack the body
– Limit movement

The 34-year-old Bivol is no longer young. He was unable to move to avoid Beterbiev’s attack for 12 consecutive rounds. We saw this the last time they fought, when he was left breathless when Artur forced him to decide to run away, and he paid the price.
