Dmitry Bivol says he was afraid he was ‘Caught in a trap’ In his loss in the unified lightweight heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev in their previous match last October.
Former WBA 175-LB Bivol champion (23-1, 12 kos) received a release, first approach to artist Knockout Beterbiev (21-0, 20 kos), beating in contact with amateur style and then retreat immediately .
Will Bivol change?
That’s why he lost. This style is trash for professionals, and fighters have to sit on their plans to win at this level.
Bivol’s reluctance to take risks resulted in Beterbiev taking control of the match and winning a majority of 12. In their rematch on February 22 in Riyad Beterbiev instead of doing Taping & Fleeing, something that did the whole race last October.
You could see how Bivol had always had his legs ready to go back when they were punched, and this further out of what a little power had gone to the competition. When Beterbiev started pushing incessantly by starting the sixth, Bivol entered Full -scale retreat mode And it stayed for the rest of the race.
The white flag was up for Bivol as he had just left the race, taking shots on the side as he ran from Beterbiev. It was awesome to see how he had resigned, but we saw the true colors of Bivol with this movement – yellow.
One judge who noted 114-114 was overly generous for Bivol. He did not win the race because he was easily scared and reluctant to stand and fight. I am sure that Bivol is sorry for not doing more, but if it will change it is questionable.
He is 34 years old, he put his ways so far and he was always patient When pressed by punchers. We saw the same behavior in Bivol in his battles against Lyndon Arthur and Joe Smith when their fighters went after him.
“In the lightweight heavyweight, anyone can hit, but bivol may be a little faster,” Artur Beterbiev said Boxing Dazndiscussing his fight against former WBA 175-LB Dmitry Bivol champion from October 12 last year. “I’m always looking for mistakes (to his opponents).
“It’s like a wall. I didn’t throw my fists to break this wall,” Bivol said of how it was to fight Beterbiev. “We have thrown them in the target because with children like him. If you try to break the wall, you could catch up in the trap.
“Sometimes I do it and I did it in my previous race. I sometimes got a few dangers, “Bivol said of the stance and negotiation with Beterbiev in rare cases in the race.
