Today, the training of Arthur Beterbieva has been transferred, revealing a transformed fighter, hitting a jugpaw attitude on a heavy bag, while preparing for revenge after the first career loss from Dmitry Bivol. The fight with the trilogy is expected to happen the following between Beterbieva (21-1, 20 KO) and IBF, WBA and WBO’s heavyweight champion Bivol (24-1, 12 KO).
Mentally, Beterbie’s seems to be motivated by his loss and wants even a result with a buffalo. Arthur learned, rearranged and will come back with a brand new set of skills. This will be a different version of Beterbiev than the one that fought in the first two fights.
A Beterbiev’s position was discovered
The Southpaw stop used by Beterbiev in the fight he showed that he had a new bag of tricks that would hire a buffalo to take revenge later this year.
Beterbiev wants to ensure that the referees get out of the game for their rubber match, because there were controversy involved in his two fights with a buffalo. Some boxing fans, including Bavol’s promoter, believed that he deserved to win the first fight last October.
Bivol led the whole second half of the competition, not showing interest in fighting. In the rematch last February, Beterbiev seems to have defeated six of the twelve rounds in what was supposed to be draws, but the referees in Riyadh gave him a buffalo.
Some believe that the buffalo was awarded to the decision to make up for the controversy of the first fight for the impression of the fans and its promoter. However, Bivol’s victory created a new controversy because it seemed to be a gift decision.
Many fans want to see how the buffalo moves and face WBC champion David Benavidez for the undisputed championship. They believe that Beterbiev, 40, old and slow, and they do not want to see that the buffalo is using its speed to keep the flank to another boring decision.
Both fights were very boring because of Bive’s stroke. Beterbiev was missing the foot speed to grab the buffalo as he ran around the ring. There were extended moves in each circle where there was no action at all. He would throw the buffalo and then escape from the slow leg of Beterbiev.
It would be much harder for the buffalo to use that style against the “Mexican monster” of Benavidez, because it is faster in cutting the ring. He would force the buffalo to fight, which is not good against big blows.
