Dmitri Bivol says he wants to push more in his rematch with undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Betterbiev on February 22 on February 22 in Riyadh.
Biblical (23-1, 12 cost) thinks he gave away the previous competition against Betterbiev (21-0, 20 COs) by not letting his hands go and was on the attack on the attack on October 12.
A new approach
Earlier in the battle, Biblical managed to throw fast combinations of two punches and hit the slower better. However, the fight came from Biblical when it seems that betterbiev stops caring to take shots and let him down. Biblical was not prepared to take betterbiev’s shots and chose to move.
“I don’t have a lot of time to think about it and sorry about it. I don’t like it, ”Dmitri Biblical said Fight Hub TV About his loss of Artur Betterbiev. “I want to move forward. It happened. Let us close this door and move forward.
‘Of course I’m angry and disappointedBut it doesn’t teach me too much. I’m not trying to make this disappointment, make it for me. I try to make this disappointment for the good of trying to practice harder. It depends on how it goes on. If I do my work excellent, it will be, ”said Biblical when asked if he would win if it went 12 rounds.
“I feel like I have to be much better, and I don’t doubt the judges. It doesn’t matter how. I have to be excellent. “
Can he change?
Every fighter wants to change, but so little does it do. These are just words. It will be difficult for Biblical to change his tactics for the better Biev -Rematch, because it was his entire career. Changing his box -dna will be difficult at 34.
Even if he comes briefly more aggressively at the beginning of the battle, will he maintain it when Betterbiev starts to put him under lap? It is questionable; Self -preservation is built into every person, and Biblical does not want to put his health at stake by staying in the bag and getting apart by the thunderous blows of better biev.
“There were a few rounds where I felt: ‘This round didn’t benefit me, but I rest a little. The next round I should be better, “” Biblical said when asked if there was a point where he felt he was not going well in the first fight against Betterbiev.
“The next round was a bit close. “It was a better round” or “worse around.” I have to throw more blows. Don’t let him throw. Even if I defend, I shouldn’t use my wait like that. I have to use something else. “
If Bivolution throws more bumps, it means that he can be counteracted and hurt by betterbiev’s harder shots. This is how the fight turned in the seventh round the last time. Biblical tried to throw a sustained combination and dumped through a right -handed right hand by a right hand of betterbiev. The incident dropped out of Biblical, and he ran for the last five rounds.
Turki al-Sheikh posted a new battle poster on X today and said, ‘The final note plays’, suggesting he can move in another direction and shoot the winner of the David Benavidez against David Morrell on Saturday, Get a shot at the Betterbiev-bivolol 2 Victor than running it back for a trilogy.
Bivol’s style of fighting, moving and holding is not entertaining for many fans compared to the more exciting style of benavidez and Morrell. If Biblical loses again, Turki must pinch the rivalry in the button and make Benavidez or Morrell shot at Betterbiev. If Biblical overcomes, it would be even more entertaining to see some new blood.
