BIVOL claim that he was not 100% for the first better biev fight, 150% needed for Rematch

Dmitri Bivol is now coming to excuses and says he was not “100%” for his first battle against the United Three Belt Light Heavyweight Champion Artur Betterbiev in October last year. Biblical (23-1, 12 costs) says he must now be ‘150%’ for the re-broadcast against undisputed champion Betterbiev (21-0, 20 COs) on February 22 in Riyadh. The re -broadcast will be shown Live on dazn PPV, along with an excellent bottom map.

Betterbiev was also less than 100%and came into the struggle after the recent knee surgery to restore a broken meniscus. One could see in the early rounds that he was tentative and not attacking everything. In Saturday’s Rematch, Betterbiev should be a very different fighter. If Biblical is serious about being 150% better, we can have an action -packed battle more than their previous one.

No more excuses

It is important for the former WBA 175 -pound champion that he is fighting with more fire this time, because he looked like he was unwilling to stay in the bag. His style plays tag and then flees. It is a style that Shakur Stevenson uses in his fights, and he does not love many fans in the US, who prefers to act over 12 rounds of fence.

If the judges score round, they note who pushes the fight, the harder shots land, and show that they want it more. It was the last time betterbiev. Biblical will have to be less defensive this time if he wants to win another decision. Of course, he does not have the power to strike better, so he is the only hope of winning a decision.

Crown only: “It seems that the Rematch was done in a week,” Ade told Dazn Boxing to Dmitri Biblical about his second fight with Artur Betterbiev.

Dmitri BIVOL: ‘The next day.

Ade: “And you wanted it? You didn’t say, ‘Let’s go somewhere else first? You said, “Let’s go right after that.” ‘

BIVOL: ‘I don’t want to waste my energy doing anything else. Although it is (betterbiev battle) hot, I think it’s more interesting. “

Ade: “I have no idea how the second battle (betterbiev) will play, but if you say it is not 100%, I do not know what a 100% Biblical will be.”

BIVOL: ‘Of course, it wasn’t. I have to be closer to my 100%. I have to be 150%. “

Ade: “It’s like Superman.”

BIVOL: “Not Superman, just human.”
