“Poison Cup”: Bivol’s style annoys fans, as Beterbiev calls for a third fight in the middle of call Benavidez

Turks Alalshikh repeated his hopes last Saturday night to make the trilog fight between Arthur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol after Beterbia’s decision in most of the 12 rounds in a 12-round term at a place in Riyadh. After the fight, Beterbiev (21-1, 20 ko) already said he wanted a trilogy match.

Beterbiev was understandably dissatisfied with the results of his rematch, because he seemed to have done enough to win in the fight, but the judges gave him a buffalo (24-1, 12 ko). The results were 115-113, 116-112 and 114-114. The buffalo mainly led the whole fight, not engaged and made it very boring to fans.

Run not boxing

I watched the fight twice and that Beterbiev won 7-5 at the first watch and 8-4 on the second. He deserved a victoryBut the judges treated him with his scoring, giving him a buffalo. I didn’t have a dog in this hunt and I didn’t care who won the fight of Beterbiev-Bivol 2, but I saw it as a clear victory for Beterbiev. The buffalo looked like a track star, ran around the ring, not wanting to engage, install and make a mess in the fight. So awful to watch.

“He deserves it, and we want to see the third,” Turki Alalshikh said to Tension About his desire to fight the trilogy between Arthur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. “If Arthur accepts, we will have a third.”

Social media people say they don’t want to see a third fight and are more partial David Benavidez Getting cracks in four titles against buffalo or, preferably, against Beterbiev. It’s a far more fun fight. If the ultimate goal is to entertain the fans and not get bored, Beterbiev Vs. Benavidez is the way. Bull’s style of fighting is a cup of poison for fans.

As we have seen in this time of boxing, titles are no longer important. It’s more about fans’ fun. Runners like Dmitry Bivol and Shakur Stevenson do not belong to the main fights or even on the main maps. Belong to preliminary tickets. The Turks want to save boxing, but works against their goal by fighting that will not entertain occasional fans, who only watch sports on rare occasions. For good sports, runners should be placed on preliminary cards and cheerleading main tickets only for fighters.

“Of course, we’re not 16 years old. Almost 40 years [correction: Beterbiev IS 40]And I don’t hold my hand with the opponent is kind of strange, but if he is like that, no problem, “Bivol said of Mediarevealing that Beterbiev did not want to squeeze his hand after their fight.

“I came to him after a fight in the ring and I told him to respect him and I shook his hand. After that, he spoke with Turki Alalshikh, and he came to us, and he said,” I’ll give you a hand only after the third fight “, and I congratulated him.

“It doesn’t matter,” Bivol said when asked if he preferred to fight Beterbiev or David Benavidez. “I could be better,” Dmitry said of whether he would be better in the trilogy with Arthur. “I was not 100% pleased with what I did in the ring.”
