Dmitry Bivol is shown in the video clip today, working on his wrestling in the clinch to prepare for his rematch with an indisputable heavyweight champion Arthur Beterbiev on February 2nd at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
The former WBA 175 LB Bivol (23-1, 12 ko) champion is believed to use a tightening to neutralize Beterbieva’s offense (21-0, 20 ko) to prevent him from hitting when he closed the distance.
Wedge strategy
This could be an ugly struggle if the buffalo decides to keep Arthur all night, but many former boxers advise him to do so. Hit & Run, and when Beterbiev approaches, grab it in the bear. If the judge allows the buffalo to get out with that all night without warning or punishing for his posture, he could control the Beterbi’s offense.
Bivol kept his previous fight on October 12 last year to break Stiimie Beterbiev, but not enough to keep him. Dmitry, 34, lost the fight mainly because he was running around the ring, trying to avoid Beterbi’s pressure.
The results were 115-113, 116-112 for Beterbieva and 114-114. In the interviews, Bivol said he would do more than what he had done last time, which means a blow, grab and movement. It’s an unusual style, but this is what fighters at the level of fineness are forced to work when they are faced with blows or fighters with more offensive skills than them.
The buffalo is a good combination, but it lacks power at 175 and can be hurt. Beterbiev injured Dmitry in the seventh round, and after that, it was a encounter with a buffalo, looking as if the wolf was chasing him.
“I see the same outcome. Beterbiev [winning]But rooted for a buffalo, “Teofimo Lopez said on Social mediaChoosing an inconvenient champion with lightweight categories Arthur Beterbiev to beat Dmitry buffalo in rematch. “I hope it’s better than the first time.
“If nothing else, I think Beterbiev will injure the buffalo this time, but Kudos buffalo. It is very good flashes, but he has not shown enough grits in the championship circles. It’s a great fight,” Teofimo said.
