Artur Beterbiev wasn’t happy listening to about Dmitry Bivol’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, commenting that he didn’t agree with the choice of their earlier struggle on October twelfth. Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) seemed irritated, saying that Hearn all the time has one thing he doesn’t “agree with.”

Hearn had a conniption match after the unified three-belt gentle heavyweight champion Beterbiev defeated his fighter, WBA champ Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs), ruining his plans for a profitable rematch with Canelo Alvarez. What number of probabilities is Bivol going to get if he loses once more and is given one other struggle in opposition to Beterbiev?

He didn’t wish to struggle when the going acquired robust final time and ran when issues acquired scorching for him. Whereas some followers assume Bivol ought to have gained the primary struggle with Beterbiev, they clearly shaped their opinions after the primary 5 rounds as a result of his white flag of give up was up from the sixth spherical on. He had no struggle in him and turned tail and ran from the sixth on. Hearn helped muddy the water by complaining nonstop concerning the resolution, however Bivol clearly misplaced.

I do know there was some huge cash at stake had Bivol gained as a result of there would have been a struggle in opposition to Canelo. If Bivol had gained, do you truthfully imagine Beterbiev would have been given a direct rematch?

No means on Earth. It might have been Canelo vs. Bivol 2. As for Beterbiev, he’d have needed to work his means again to a title shot by preventing the winner of the David Benavidez vs. David Morrell struggle, as a result of he’s not as well-connected as Bivol.

Will Beterbiev Spoil Issues?

Hearn had hoped that Bivol may seize Beterbiev’s three titles and use the undisputed 175-lb championship as a fish lure to get Canelo to maneuver as much as face him. Beterbiev wrecked every little thing by relentlessly attacking the timid boxer Bivol, chasing him across the ring for the ultimate six rounds to win a 12-round majority resolution by the scores 115-113, 116-112, and 114-114.

I agreed with the 8-4 rating for Beterbiev, but it surely was amusing, if not predictable, that Hearn threw a match afterward, complaining that Bivol deserved the win. He hadn’t. The one means you can give Bivol the win is that if the judges stopped scoring the bout after six rounds. If this have been a six-rounder, Bivol would win simply.

Hearn’s fighter, Bivol, will get one other probability in opposition to Beterbiev of their rematch on February twenty second in Riyadh. If Bivol can’t win this struggle, it’s a waste of time to have a trilogy. If Bivol wins, he’ll have the titles to lure Canelo. If that struggle doesn’t occur, there’s all the time the trilogy with Beterbiev that Bivol can fall again on.

If he loses on factors, Hearn will most likely scream bloody homicide and complain that Bivol deserved the win once more.

It’ll be attention-grabbing to see if Turki Al-Sheikh sympathizes with Hearn’s complaints and provides Bivol one other undeserving third struggle as a substitute of giving the David Beterbiev vs. David Morrell winner an opportunity at Artur. U.S. followers wish to see some new blood in there with Beterbiev as a substitute of seeing the runner, Bivol getting nonstop probabilities. 

“Yeah, he did a very good job. We will say hardest struggle,” mentioned Artur Beterbiev to BoxNation when requested if Dmitry Bivol is the hardest struggle of his profession thus far. “Eddie Hearn all the time not agree with one thing,” mentioned Beterbiev, reacting to being advised that Bivol’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, didn’t agree with the choice from their earlier struggle on October twelfth. “It’s all the time one thing.

“I’m honored to be the principle occasion on this card. Large struggle, they do. It was a very good expertise. Superb, they did a very good job for boxing,” mentioned Beterbiev concerning the Saudis.

“It was a very good struggle; it was good for boxing followers,” mentioned Bivol to BoxNation about his earlier struggle in opposition to Beterbiev. “It wasn’t the very best struggle I had, and it was a very good lesson for me. I realized so much from this struggle, and I’ve to enhance myself. I wish to struggle in Riyadh as a result of they make lovely occasions, nice occasions. Each fighter desires this, and I’m wanting ahead to coming again.

“After all, each camp is completely different, and we made some modifications additionally, which I’ll discuss after the struggle. I’m glad I’ve this opportunity,” mentioned Bivol.
