Beterbiev “Locked” for Bivol Runge

Arthur Beterbiev announced today on X that February 22 is “locked” for his rematch with Dmitry Bivol. They have “2 weeks before ” For their second fight at the Royal Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Beterbi’s way of thinking

The indisputable champion in the lightweight category of Beterbiev (21-0, 20 ko) has a determined look that suggests that throughout the fight he will be relentlessly attacking the buffalo (23-1, 12 ko) to force him to exchanges.

Beterbia’s former director, Russ anber, believes he has more space to improve tHan Bivol does that. He believes that the former WBA heavyweight champion Dmitry, 34, fought as good as he could in that fight. Arthur came down with a recent knee surgery when he fought a buffalo last October and was not 100%.

It will take a lot from the buffalo to raise his game from what he did last time. Unfortunately for fans, it is believed that a buffalo can hire a lot of posture to prevent Beterbiev from landing his hits as he approaches. It is the most controlled area to improve buffalo. This event is on DAZN PPVAnd fans expect a lot from the two. As such, it would be disappointing if Dmitry decides to keep constantly neutralizing Beterbia’s attacks. However, that may be his only option.

The buffalo was vulnerable when he mixed him with Beterbiev from a sixth round in their previous fight on October 12 last year. He was hurt by the right hand from Beterbiev. This led to the fact that IBF, WBC and WBO champion 175 lb Beterbiev broke into most rounds in the second half of the competition.

Can a buffalo improve?

“I’m not sure how much he can improve his performance. I think Hi is an excellent fight. I’m not sure what alternatives can come up with,” Cutman Russ Anber said Seconds When asked if Dmitry Bivol can improve his previous appearance against Arthur Beterbiev.

“I believe Beterbiev can improve in its last appearance. I don’t believe we saw Beterbieva at the best of order. He had surgery on his knee and returned. He wasn’t as strong as it usually is. He looked much more conservative.

“I personally gave him an advantage. I thought he had closed the last three rounds pretty solid,” Anber said about Beterbiev. “I thought he showed that he could hurt a buffalo. I think he can improve his performance.

Beterbiev was coming out of the knee surgery to repair the exhaust meniscus that happened earlier in 2024. You could say from watching Arthur’s movement within the ring that he was not as fast that he was dealing with a buffalo as otherwise in his struggles.

This allowed Dmitry to quickly land 1-2 combinations and then withdraw. The buffalo would withstand the left hand in front of him to prevent Beterbiev from closing, which was effective throughout the fight.

“The buffalo will have to come up with something. He will have to get something out of the hat to think of a better performance and overtook what Beterbiev brings to the table. He struggled with a big fight, and I think Beterbiev is not,” Anber said.

The buffalo will have to stay more in their pocket to make a better hit in the fight in the fight. The judges obviously noticed that he had given the land of Beterbiev in the second half of the competition. Dmitry seemed just trying to survive.

“I think Beterbiev can improve even more. So the buffalo will need to improve with the championship circles. The last three rounds cost him. But Beterbiev may not have been so far behind in the championship circles to improve more in what he did in the first fight . I think it can be a little imposing, “Anber said.
