Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) feels he should “do everything differently” in his rematch with Dmitry Bivol for him to come back out victorious on Saturday night time, February twenty second, in Riyadh. Undisputed mild heavyweight champion Beterbiev doesn’t say what he should change, but it surely’s the strain.
He didn’t put sufficient strain on Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) within the first 5 rounds, and he let him to construct an enormous lead. That’s why the battle was shut in the long run, which led to plenty of complaining by followers and Bivol’s promoter Eddie Hearn.
“Everything Different”

“I need to do everything different,” stated Artur Beterbiev to talkSport Boxing about what he should do to defeat Artur Beterbiev of their rematch on Saturday night time.
“I’m expecting a different fight but at a different pace, a higher pace, a higher tempo, and more desperation from Beterbiev. He’ll be thinking, ‘I’m going to need to dig in deep here, and I don’t know if I got the pace in the tank,’” stated Johnny Nelson.
“Neither of these guys has a hint of hesitation, and that’s what makes this such a good fight. He [Bivol] has to control the pace, set a high tempo pace. That’s what wins. Long shots, use the jab, use the shots and the footwork. Combine the two so he’s punching and moving at the same time. Not giving Beterbiev the chance to step in the gap when he goes for a breather,” stated Nelson.
The best way Nelson describes it, it’s clear that Dmitry Bivol might want to transfer nonstop to keep away from getting cooked by Beterbiev when he stops. That can be tiring as a result of he’ll use plenty of his power transferring and throwing.

The final time they fought on October twelfth, Bivol moved a lot within the first half of the battle that he had nothing left within the second half.
