Bivol claims that he was not 100% for the first Beterbie’s fight, it takes 150% for a rematch

Dmitry Bivol is now coming with excuses, saying that he was not “100%” for his first fight against the Unified three belts, the champion in the heavyweight category Arthur Beterbiev last October. Bivol (23-1, 12 ko) says that now he has to be “150%” for a rematch against the undisputed Champa Beterbieva (21-0, 20 ko) on February 2nd in Riyadh. The rematch will be displayed He lives on a given PPV, together with the starry.

Beterbiev was also less than 100%, entered the fight after a recent knee surgery to repair a ruptured meniscus. In the early rounds he could see that he was thoughtful and not attacking everything. On Saturday’s rematch, Beterbiev should be a much different fighter. If the buffalo is serious about 150% better, we could have more struggles full of actions than their previous one.

No more excuses

It is important for former WBA 175 pound champion Bivol to fight more fire this time because he looked like he wasn’t willing to stay in his pocket. His style was playing the mark and then he was running away. It is a style that Shakur Stevenson uses in his fights, and many fans do not like him in the US, who prefer action to watch 12 rounds fencing.

When the judges score, they notice who pushes the fight, landing heavier shots, showing that they want more. It was Beterbiev’s last time. The buffalo will need to be less defensive this time if he wants to win another decision. He obviously lacks the power to throw out Beterbiev, so winning the decision is his only hope.

Ade Oladipo: “The rematch seems to have been done in a week,” said Ade Dazn Boxing Dmitry Bigole about his second struggle with Arthur Beterbiev.

Dmitry Bivol: “The next day.

Ade, “And you wanted it? You didn’t say, ‘Let’s go elsewhere? You said,” Let’s go straight to that. “

Buffalo: “I don’t want to spend energy doing something else. While it [Beterbiev fight] is hot, I think it’s more interesting. “

ADE: “I have no idea how the other fight [Beterbiev] It will play, but if you say you are not 100%, I don’t know what 100% buffalo will be. “

Bivol: “Of course, not. I have to be closer to my 100%. I have to be 150%.”

Ade: “It’s like Superman.”

Bivol: “Not Superman, just a man.”
