Dmitry Bivol became the world’s unobtrusive light heavyweight champion after he taught Artur Beterbiev to another absorbent and wonderful contest of great technical skills and deep bravery. Bivol, who was narrowly lost a decision of most 40-year-old former champions more than four months ago, won the rematch and the sweetest redemption during the first hours of Sunday morning in Riyadh .
The scores were exactly the same as they were in October-along with a judge who decided it a 114-114 draw and two other officers reaching judgments of 116-112 and 115-113-but the main difference is the winning margins announced in favor of the right bivol.
Beterbiev and Bivol are two of the most up -to -boxing men in boxing and they both prefer the fight fighting. It seems that the Bivol, wearing a shimmering silver tunic, has walked quickly to the ring, sometimes expanding a glove to hold the hands of the admirable viewers. Beterbiev cut off a more solemn figure, wearing a plain black t-shirt and black trunks, as he marched uncurled in the same walk.
After he was introduced by Michael Buffer, in the average style of MC’s honeyed gravitas, Bivol raised his arm. Beterbiev only jogged the area before matching Bivol’s actions when his name was hollered with the rafters.
Chants of “Bi-Vol, Bi-Vol, Bi-Vol” Echoed around the arena while deeply tightened. The two men tracked each other warked. Bivol is less aggressive than the beginning of their first fight – as part of a approach to maintain his energy for decisive stages of battle. The Beterbiev landing ended, but Bivol was a bit more accurate at the opening of Stanza.
A clear pattern soon emerged as Beterbiev stabbed Bivol with raw aggression. He was a terrible presence but the inevitable Bivol was opposed by sharp blows. But Beterbiev was hidden after he mercilessly because his own plan seemed to be the center of bringing a real ferocity from the very beginning since an effort to deplete the Bivol of his clinical clarity and energy.
But Bivol was a fighter of great class and careful and, in third, he stabbed Beterbiev with smooth combinations, while bunches of blows flew from him. Beterbiev responded and beat the bivol on the body on the bell. He maintained the speed of his attack on the fourth and Bivol was forced to turn around and focus on defense and self-preservation. There is a little time, or room, for Bivol that is against the middle of the darker and threatening storm brought by Beterbiev.
A riveting fight begins to open. There was a sink for Beterbiev as he gathered himself – but Bivol nailed him with slinky combinations and a poor and beautiful right hand. Such a fan of firing bealed Beterbiev and he ended the swelling loudly, which was littering some heavy blows, including a destructive right right appearing to shake the challenging.
Bivol, who had to absorb more difficult blows, needed to maintain his discipline and nervousness as they approached the half -point of a disturbing battle. He went on more remarkable punching blows and briefly negated incessant hate of Beterbiev.
Red marks were seen on Beterbiev’s forehead but, in the cycle of seven, he continued his referred to pursuit. Bivol did not allow himself to rest in the face of suffocating pressure but he still went to more effective blows. The technician needs all of his poise and skills to maintain the Beterbiev’s marauding at the bay – before Bivol is connected to a surprising right hook. His confidence flowed as, bouncing just to his toes, he continued to stab the left jab. The battle began his way again after winning two oral -in -the -go, the eighth especially the wonderful style.
In the cycle of nine, Bivol again held the initiative at the beginning. He even made Bet Beterbiev miss with wild swing and then he broke four sequential and unanswered blows in a row. It became a Bivol Masterclass as he emerged faith.
Nine minutes, the real rotation of the championship, left and the fight was still with a knife as Beterbiev quickly came out for the 10th. But Bivol managed to slow down some of the crisp blows. The champion still stabbed him but Bivol jabed to the head and hit Bet Beterbiev who was poor in the body. Bivol was then driven in a corner – but he fought again.
The chant of ‘Bi-Vol, Bi-Vol, Bi-Vol‘It goes on to 11th and he caught Beterbiev with another peach of one right hand. Although as Beterbiev rated up the intensity, Bivol refused to like it.
Beterbiev’s corner told her that she had to win the final twist to have the opportunity to hold her title to the world and invincible note. However, Bivol has trained too hard, and is purely fierce for a long time, to release success. He fired Beterbiev with another trademark combination with less than a minute left. Beterbiev poured one last time, which was littering a withering left.
They were on the feet on the ringside because these two extraordinary champions were exchanged at the last bell. Bivol was cut off above his swollen left eye and he needed immediate attention to throw blood flow. Beterbiev smiled as the gloves were removed and the sodden wraps were cut from his hands. It has become a searing contest and they are waiting for the final verdict.
The draw was announced first and Bivol seemed to be hurting. After reading the next two scorecards “And the new one …!”
Bivol covered his face with relief and then raised his arms. She was in tears as the four belts were ddrapped on her shoulders.
Asked to determine the difference between the two marginal outcomes, Bivol smiled. “It’s just me,” he said. “I’m better. I’m more pushing myself. I’m more confident. I’m lighter. I just want to win now. I just told myself that he could start from the beginning to interfere with me, to disturb me. It It was difficult, to keep her away from the first four. “
The inevitable query followed. Is he ready to face Beterbiev in the rubber match of a memorable trilogy? “I’m ready for any challenge,” Bivol said. “But I want a little rest, because I have some injuries and I use anti-swelling [medication] Almost the whole camp. I want a little time to heal myself and get back. “
The loser man is dull. “I don’t want to talk about the decision,” Beterbiev’s -sneezac [and] Bivol’s team … I think this fight is better than the first fight, but now it’s my time to return. “
Asked the same question as Bivol about a third battle, Beterbiev Smouldered. “I honestly don’t like the second fight. It’s not my choice. But no problem. We’ll do the third fight.”
Beterbiev refused to shake Bivol’s hand before leaving the ring, his failure after the first loss of his career burning inside him. He repeatedly broke his finger in the direction of the new champion -to a clear sign that he wanted the same kind of revenge that left the Bivol that revolted the rapture.
After recovering these two great warriors from a intense and tedious battle, a certain end to their surprising rival was inevitable.
