The unquestionable lightweight champion Dmitry Bivol is now waiting for the “offer” For his next fight against David Benavidez, Canelo Álvarez or Artur Beterbiev.
Boxing The public burns Seeing Bivol and Beterbiev’s fight, since none of his clashes has been particularly exciting. Bivol’s defensive style, which involves constant movement and Clinch, made both fighting boring for fans who prefer action fights.
It would be good for sport if Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos) was the next for Bivol because it is better to chase the runners than Beterbiev. Dmitry does not know how to fight otherwise to move without stopping, and requires someone good to cut the ring to force him to fight.
Benavidez would be perfect for work. Beterbiev would have won last Saturday if I had launched more blows while chasing Bivol. I was waiting for too long. David Benavidez is much more equipped to fight that type of fighters because they face evasive types before and is excellent to catch them.
Turki Alalshikh has talked about wanting a trilogy between Bivol (24-1, 12 kos) and the destroyed unquestionable champion of 175 pounds, Bederbiev (21-1, 20 kos), but it seems that Dmitry will take what he pays most.
The ideal fight for Turki to be between Bederbiev and Benavász. This is a much better fight for the world of boxing than one that involves Bivol. It is not interesting to see, at least for fans. It’s like Shakur Stevenson, Americans don’t like to see defensive types that run for 12 rounds like that. In this era of sport, entertainment is the king, and The belts do not matter not anymore.
Fan tastes have changed. They have been cheated too many times by cunning promoters who use intelligent matches to maneuver defective fighters in winning world titles. The controversial decisions given by the left and today worsen the problem, making the sport seem political and more about business. Many fans believe that Bivol did not deserve victory on Saturday night in the night, but he was given the victory because there are more money opportunities with him as a champion than Bederbiev.
The important thing is now the fights that involve combatants with exciting styles that create interest. The bivol does not reach that criterion. Beterbiev and Benavidez do it.
All the non -scales movement that Bivol made on Saturday night and in his previous fight with Artur makes him a monstrosity so that the public sees it. It’s fine if it is not on PPV cards, but it is not entertaining enough to fight Beterbiev, Canelo or Benavidez. If fans care about the belts at this time, we would have superstars in each kind of weight than the little handful. The fighters who are stars have exciting styles. Bivol is not an unmissable television.
Canelo already has a scheduled match against Terence Crawford for September 13 in what Turki calls “The great fight.” Unless Álvarez is an easy work of Crawford, 37, it is unlikely to be free to fight Bivol this year.
“It doesn’t matter. Trilogy (against Beterbiev), Benavász, Canelo, or simply as always, I am waiting for an offer, and I say: ‘Yes,” said Dmitry Bivol in the Press conference after the fightSpeaking of his next fight after his victory over Artur Beterbiev on Saturday night in Riad.
