The model new Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 trailer got here out at this time, wanting beautifully executed to create curiosity within the mild heavyweight undisputed championship rematch on February twenty second on DAZN PPV.
Trailer Speak
The trailer has a darkish look, with a lot of it staged in an opera theater with a singer, statues, promoters, and the ring announcer Michael Buffer briefly proven. It was a set of photos thrown collectively. One sees Bivol falling to the ground with glass shattering, which might be a glimpse of what followers will see within the rematch.
I’m glad we don’t see Bivol killing a poor bear with a sword within the trailer for the primary struggle. That was off-putting. However so far as the brand new trailer, there’s some good things and a bunch of junk that ought to have been left on the slicing room ground.
The previous WBA mild heavyweight champion Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) has stated in interviews that he desires to throw extra punches but in addition desires to maneuver greater than final time. Hopefully, we don’t see that as a result of it is a PPV occasion.
Dubbed ‘The Final Crescendo,‘ the Beterbiev-Bivol II rematch identify suggests this struggle will show as soon as and for all who the higher fighter is between them. It seemed fairly clear final time that Beterbiev (21-0, 20 was mentally stronger, needed it extra, and had Bivol in full retreat mode from rounds 7 by way of 12.
That’s if Bivol chooses to struggle slightly than flee across the ring like final time. He made the struggle unwatchable for the final seven rounds together with his Shakur-esque operating and holding of Beterbiev. Some followers nonetheless assume Bivol was robbed final time, however he gave away the final seven rounds, selecting to maneuver.
What many informal followers aren’t conscious of is that Beterbiev was coming off knee surgical procedure for a torn meniscus and took the struggle with Bivol simply months after recovering. That’s spectacular. For Beterbiev to chase Bivol across the ring with one good leg reveals how nice a fighter he’s.
Lower the Muddle
If I had been creating the trailer, I’d edit out the components exhibiting the promoters, Buffer, and the opera theater stuff and focus extra on the fighters to create curiosity within the precise Beterbiev-Bivol 2 struggle. Followers aren’t going to get enthusiastic about ordering the occasion by individuals who don’t have anything to do with what they’re excited by seeing.
In the event you’re making an attempt to promote this struggle to the general public, it’s essential to have a look at what the followers are excited by seeing. They don’t need to see previous guys with nothing to do with what’s taking place contained in the ring, do they? I don’t.
The struggle was conclusive sufficient to not require a rematch, however followers and Bivol’s promoter complained, so a rematch was ordered. If Bivol loses once more, the identical scenario might play out. A giant push for a useless trilogy.
