Buffalo tactical change: Will it be enough against Beterbiev?

DMitry Bivol (23-1, 14 KOS) has been selected by many fans to beat the undisputed heavyweight champion Arthur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KO) in his rib this Saturday, February 22, February, Live on Dazn PPV of The Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This is Bivol's chance to win a trilogy against Betherbiev, as Turki Alalshi has already confirmed that the third match will happen if Dmitry is the winner on Saturday. Former WBA 175 buffalo champion, 34-year-old, says he has to fight more aggressively, throw more blows and be more more involved in engaging.

He works on all these things and tactics to neutralize Betherbiev's crime by tying him to prevent him from excluding his footage. We have already seen many of these tactics in the first match that Betterbiev won with a decision by a majority of 12 rounds on October 12.

The edge of Betherbiev

“This time I choose Bivol of points. Go against the grain. I chose Bivol for the first time. I had won Beterbiev 7-5, “Gareth A. Davis said TALKSPORT BOXINGGiving his choice for the Saturday rematch between the undisputed heavyweight champion Arthur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “I just think the buffalo this time will be more smart.”

“I think Beterbiev wins wider this time. He was getting out of the injury (a recent knee surgery), entering the last competition. Preparation may not have been as good as before, “said Spencer Oliver. “I'm going to Betherbiev. What you see behind this monster, that destructive ball that comes forward is the IQ box there. He is smart in what he does. This is educated pressure. “

“I would not be surprised if Betterbiev. This is such a difficult choice. I only choose a buffalo because I want the third match, “Gareth said.

Buffalo will change your fight style from the first match, but the only question is, will it change enough to win? For this type of opponent, the buffalo cannot afford to be more aggressive without being beaten and knocked out because Betterbiev hits too hard. As we have seen last time, Bivol is not physically more difficult than the boys Beterbiev has knocked out before. He was hurt just like them.

His wheels were the only thing that saved him from being the 21st victim of Arthur. He entered the survival mode of the sixth and went up in the last seven rounds, which is why he lost. Fans who thought the buffalo deserved the victory made their mind in the first five rounds and then mentally closed themselves, ignoring how it fell into the last seven rounds.

Ortiz review against Madimov

“I go Vergil Ortiz on points or even because I think he is so brilliant, even a late stopping,” Davis said, choosing a WBC mid-category champion Vergil Ortiz Ortiz Jr. over Israel Madimov at the Baterbiev Bulm 2 Undercard.

It is doubtful that Vergil Jr. will kill Madimov, because this will require him to be stationary and not throw his powerful blows back to him. Madimov hits too hard to remain Vergil in his pocket. In his last match against Sergius Bohachuk, he learned that he could not fight recklessly at 154 against the qualitative opposition, as he did when he first moved into weight.

“Vergil Ortiz, 22 matches, 22 wins, 21 knockouts. Madimov is a great fighter. He pushed Crawford completely. He is very, very difficult, ”Spencer said. “Stylistically, these two will encounter. They will meet early in the center of the ring.

“I choose Ortiz to win this one. This will be a war, probably a blood bath. I think Ortiz wins, probably by stopping. “

“When you look at what Madimov is made of, he is like granite. He is a brilliant man, ”Gareth said.

Vergil Jr. has an excellent chance of winning by working with Madimov the way he made Terens Crawford, especially in short circles when he gets tired. Madimov looked exhausted from the 10th round, behaving constantly and very uncomfortable with internal fighting.
