Unbeared light heavyweight champion Artur Betterbiev and Challenger Dmitri Biscvol both successfully weighed on Friday at the weigh -in for their Dazn ppv Headliner this Saturday, February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Former WBA champion Bivol (23-1, 12 COs) looked in good shape, but still showed slight bruises under his left eye of the hard bumps he received from better Biev on October 12, four months ago.
During the face, Betterbiev (21-0, 20 COs) looked bigger and had a determined look for him, as if he was ready to chase Biblt to strike him this time. Betterbiev came down from the knee surgery in their first fight and did not start to push to the center.
Betterbiev dominated the last half of the fight, but many fans only remember the first part. They felt that Biblical was won as a result of his quick start.

“I thought it was near, but I gave a split decision to Biblical. I thought he was boxing really well, but you can’t argue with a betterbiev decision, ‘says Terence Crawford to box when asked who he earned to the first battle between Artur Bererbiev and Dmitri Bivol at 12 October last year in Riyad to win.
“Both feel like they can make adjustments in this second fight,” Ade Oladipo said. “Who do you think should make the most adjustments to get the w?”
“I think biblical should make the most adjustments, because he got a little bit in the rounds later, though he hit a little more. I think he has to do a little more to win, ‘says Crawford.
