Oscar de la Hoya says it will be physically tiring at Dmitry Bivol and Arthur Beterbiev if they meet for the trilogy between them. He says he would like to see it, but he feels that it will be difficult in both slight heavy weights.
De La Hoya favors the indisputable bivol champion (24-1, 12 ko) to beat the 40-year-old Beterbiev (21-1, 20 ko) because the buffalo has the advantage of youth, speed and movement.
Oscar says he was worried when he saw Beterbiev wearing two knee carriers in the ring, moving so slowly as if he were in Quicksand and lacked his ability to cut off the ring. Still, Beterbiev was in the fight and looked that he was on the way of knockout when he chased a buffalo around the ring from a circle three to seven.
Benavidez: Hard matching
De La Hoya says he would like to see the buffalo fighting his WBC David Benavidez, because it would show courage on his part. However, it feels that Benavidez (30-0, 24 ko) would beat the buffalo because of its high output, IQ ring and the ability to cut off the ring.
All the movement that once defeated Beterbiev would not have acted against Benavidez. He would persecute him and separate him. The Bive’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, seems interested in Benavidez. If he does not change his mind, we will probably see how the buffalo fights Beterbiev or Callum Smith.
“I think Benavidez is pretty interesting. I think it’s hell of a fight. If he is willing to be brave, if he is willing to fight Benavides, he would surely strengthen the Hall of Fame Bive. said Oscar de la Hoya HUB TV fights When asked who wins between the Dmitry buffalo and David Benavidez.
“There he’s smarter there, knows how to think and know how to adjust. I would favor Benavideza [over Bivol]. Throws more blows, is more active and has better leg work than Beterbiev, “”
Benavidez would be a bad stylish match for a 34-year-old buffalo because he doesn’t like to guess, not staying in his pocket long enough to do the damage. We saw what the tired Beterbiev did a buffalo in the 12th round of their rematch last Saturday night on February 2nd, when he suddenly stepped up full gas gas at the first time in the fight. He had a buffalo bloody and beaten in just that circle. He collapsed from the pressure of Beterbiev. If the buffalo fought against Benavidez, every circle would be just like that.
Canel’s rematch of chances
“There’s no way he beat up buffalo. There’s just no chance. Styles quarrel, and as much as I would like to see Mexican victory inside that ring, a national hero, no way to beat the buffalo,” De La Hoya said that Canelo Alvarez did not have the opportunity to avenge his loss from Dmitry Bivol.
Bivol dominated Canela in his fight on May 7, 2022. The buffalo size, combined punching and endurance were too much for Canelo. Now it would be worse for the Mexican star, because in its fights it goes even faster and would not have a fuel tank to compete with more than two or three rounds.
“I had a buffalo from the beginning. I thought the buffalo knew how to adjust and use his boxer skills and leg work, movement on the side,” De La Hoya said of the buffalo removal with Arthur Beterbiev on February 2nd. “His combinations were ruthless. I just feel he did a better job.
Trilogy: physical toll
“His municipality ring was better. He knew better to cut off the ring and knew how to box better. He deserved to win [against Beterbiev]. Return to the back, it’s very difficult on the body, “De La Hoya said when asked if a buffalo needed the next game of the trilogy with Arthur.” This is very difficult to keep in mind.
“I don’t care what you are fighting, whether it’s the 1950s, where they fought 30 times a year or fight today. Three fights back to the back are heavy on the body. It’s up to them. [Bivol and Beterbiev]. They make their decisions. Yes, I would love to see the third. Why not?
“I was a lot of dealing with Beterbiev. I was worried from the very beginning because he wore two knee bracelets. So, looking at his leg work, he was very stiff. He was very mechanical. He was very slow, like Quicksand. A kind like Canel inside that ring, very slow, very heavy legs. So that was my concern.
“The buffalo began to move aside, and Beterbiev could not close the distance. He was following him too slowly. Because of that, the buffalo had an advantage,” De La Hoya said.
