Dmitry Bivol hopes to take revenge on his loss this Saturday when Arthur Beterbiev is challenging because of his inconvenient championship in a slight heavyweight category in their rematch on February 2nd at the Royal of the Arena in Riyadh.
Fans believe that it should not be a rematch, because the buffalo showed that he had no heart to fight in his loss from Beterbiev on October 12th. The rematch is pointless and Dmitry only gives a second salary. Fans will see the same boring struggle, and the buffalo will look like a wolf that persecutes him for 12 rounds.
Buffalo non -inflexibility
Without a different thought, I do not see that the buffalo is capable of showing the courage needed to beat Beterbiev. He has physical tools to win, but everything else is missing. This will prevent the buffalo to win on Saturday. If the buffalo can remain in his pocket, he can win. I don’t see that this is happening.
What their previous struggle showed last October is that the buffalo (23-1, 12 ko) must show the courage under fire, not to run and hold when it is made under pressure by Beterbiev (21-0, 20 ko). It seemed so obvious to everyone who watched that Bivolo, 34, lacked mental fire to win and that the judges donated him to a cheap victory.
The buffalo is set in its own ways, non -inflexible and resistant to change. He has always fought in defense during his professional and amateur career, and will not change for a rematch on Saturday night. He is a typical person who cannot change.
During the interview, Beterbiev sounded like a determined fighter planning to attack the buffalo from a jump to force him to fight or run, which would probably be the latter. Unless the referees appreciate Bivol’s ravish lack of engagement, they will get Beterbie’s victory, which will close this ugly chapter.
Turks al-Sheikh was supposed to accommodate Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Israil Madrid’s undercard fight as the main event and moved the removal of Beterbiev-Bivol 2 under two or three places. Not even an exciting struggle as an Ortiz JR-Madrid match for average fans, which is not the fault of Beterbiev. Bivol is a problem.
“As an athlete, not all athletes do not like to lose. They want revenge, they always lose when they lose what they were wrong. I want to find what I made a mistake and I want to fix it,” said Dmitry Bivol in Dazn Boxing, talking about his focus on repairing errors from his previous defeat against Arthur Beterbiev on October 12 last year.
“I really believe he understands what to do, what a small extra part that was missing. He tries to add it to this camp so this time there is no question,” said Bivol’s manager Vadim Kornilov.
