Turki Alalshikh reiterated his hopes on Saturday night to make a trilogy fight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol after the defeat of the majority decision of 12 Bederbiev assaults at Riad’s place. After the fight, Bederbiev (21-1, 20 kos) already said he wants the trilogy party.
Beterbiev was understandably discontent with the results of his revenge because he seemed to have done enough to win the fight, but the judges gave it to Bivol (24-1, 12 ko). The scores were 115-113, 116-112 and 114-114. Bivol was mainly executing the entire fight, not attractive, and making it very boring for fans.
I saw the fight twice, and I made Beterbiev win 7-5 in the first vision and 8-4 in the second. He deserved victoryBut the judges worked with his score, giving it to Bivol. I didn’t have a dog in this hunt and I didn’t care who won the Bederbiev-Bivol 2 fight, but I saw him a clear victory for Beterbiev. Bivol looked like a track star, running around the ring, not wanting to participate, secure and make a fight disaster. So horrible to look.
“He deserves it, and we want to see the third,” Turki Alalshikh said to Stomped About his desire to fight trilogy between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol below. “If Artur accepts, we will have the third.”
People on social networks say they don’t want to see a third fight and that they are more partial to David Benavász Obtain a crack in the four titles against Bivol or, preferably, against Bederbiev. That is the much more entertaining fight. If the ultimate goal is to entertain fans and not bore them, Bederbiev vs. Benavidez is the way to follow. Bivol’s struggle style is a Poison cup For fans.
As we have seen in this era of boxing, the titles no longer matter. It is more about entertaining fans. Runners such as Dmitry Bivol and Shakur Stevenson do not belong to holding fights or even in the main letters. They belong to preliminary cards. Turki wants to save the boxing, but he is working against his goal making fights that do not entertain casual fans, who only look at the sport rarely. For the good of the sport, the runners must be placed on preliminary cards and main cards only for combatants.
“Of course, we are not 16 years old. We have almost 40 years (correction: Beterbiev is 40 years old), and I am not shaking my opponent is a bit strange, but if so, there is no problem.” Bivol said about mediarevealing that Beterbiev didn’t want to shake his hand after his fight.
“I arrived at him after the fight in the ring, and told him that I respected him and shaken his hand. After this, he spoke with Turki Alalshikh, and came to us, and he said: “I will shake your hand only after the third fight,” and congratulated him.
“It doesn’t matter,” Bivol said when asked if he prefers to fight Beterbiev or David Benavidez below. “It could be better,” Dmitry said about whether he will be better in the trilogy with Artur. “I was not 100% happy with what I did in the ring.”
