De la Hoya: Bivol vs. Benavidez is the fight to do, not a beerbiev trilogy

Oscar de la Hoya says it will be physically hard for Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev if they are for a trilogy match between them below. He says he would like to see him, but feel that it will be difficult for both heavyweights.

De la Hoya favors the undisputed champion Bivol (24-1, 12 kos) to defeat the 40-year-old Bederbiev (21-1, 20 ko) because Bivol has the advantage of youth, speed and movement.

Oscar says he was worried about seeing Beterbiev wearing two knee straps inside the ring, moving as slowly as if he were in Movediza sand and lacked the ability to cut the ring. Even so, Bederbiev was in the fight and seemed to be on the road for a knockout when he chased Bivol around the ring of the rounds of three to seven.

Benavidez: A difficult confrontation

De la Hoya says he would like to see Bivol fight against his mandatory CMB David Benavidez, because that would show courage on his part. However, he feels that Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos) would defeat Bivol due to his high output power, IQ of the ring and his ability to cut the ring.

All the movement that Bivol used to defeat Beterbiev would not work against Benavidez. I would persecute it and cut it. The promoter of Bivol, Eddie Hearn, does not seem interested in Benavész for him. Unless you change your mind, we will probably see Bivol fighting Beterbiev again or Callum Smith.

“I think Benavidity is quite interesting. I think it’s a great fight. If you are willing to be brave, if you are willing to fight Benavidez, that would solidify the career of the Bivol Hall of Fame, sure. He showed the world that it is the best in 175. That is an infernal fight. That would be an infernal route to take. I would go with Benavidity ” SAID OSCAR DE LA HOYA TO Fight Hub TV When asked who wins between Dmitry Bivol and David Benavidez.

“He is smarter up there, he knows how to think and know how to adapt. It would favor benavidity (about bivol). He throws more blows, is more active and has a better foot game than Beterbiev. “

Benavidez would be a bad style pairing for the 34 -year -old bivol because he does not like to be beaten, and does not stay in his pocket enough to harm. We saw what a tiredness that Beterbiev did to Bivol in the 12th round of his rematch on Saturday night on February 22 when suddenly the gas accelerator went up for the first time in the fight. He had a bloody bivol and mistreated in that round. He was falling apart from the Bederbiev pressure. If Bivol fights against Benavász, each round would be like that.

Canelo rematch possibilities

“There is no way to win Bivol. There is simply no form. The styles make fights, and as much as I would like to see a Mexican victory inside that ring, a national hero, there is no way to see Bivol, ”said De La Hoya over Canelo Alvarez not to have the ability to avenge his loss before Bivol Dmitry.

The bivol dominated Canelo in his fight on May 7, 2022. The size of the bivol, the combination blow and resistance were too much for Canelo. It would be worse now for the Mexican star because they play even faster in their fights and would not have the fuel tank to compete for more than two or three rounds.

“I had bivol from the beginning. I thought Bivol knew how to adjust and use his boxing skills and his feet game, movement from side to side, ”said De la Hoya about Bivol’s rematch with Artur Beterbiev on February 22. “His combinations were ruthless. I feel he did the best job.

Trilogy: Physical toll

“His ring generality was better. I knew how to better cut the ring and knew how to box better. He deserved to win (against Beterbiev). Consecutively, that is very difficult for the body, ”said De la Hoya when asked if Bivol should take the trilogy game with Artur below. “That is very hard in the mind.

“I don’t care what time you are fighting, either in the fifties, 1960, where they fought 30 times a year or you are fighting today. Three consecutive fights are hard for the body. It depends on them (Bivol and Beterbiev). They make their decisions. Yes, I would love to see a third. Why not?

“I was very worried about Beterbiev. He was worried from the beginning because he wore two knee straps. So, looking at his foot game, he was very rigid. It was very mechanical. It was very slow, something like Movedizas sands. Something like cinnamon inside that ring, very slow, very heavy. So, that was a concern of mine.

“Bivol began to move from side to side, and Berebiev could not close the distance. He was too slow. That is why Bivol had the advantage, ”said De la Hoya.
