The undisputed light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivo “offer” For his next fight against David Benavidez, Canelo Alvarez or Artur Beterbiev.
Fan fatigue
Boxing The public is exhausted Looking at Bivo and Beterbiev fighting because none of their clashes were particularly exciting. Bivo’s defensive style, involving constant movements and arbitration, made the two dull fights for fans who prefer action fights.
It would be good for sport if Benavidez (30-0, 24 KB) was the next for Bivo because it is better for chasing runners than Betbiev. Dmitry does not know how to fight otherwise than moving without stopping, and that requires someone to cut the ring to force him to fight.
Benavidez would be perfect for work. Beterbiev would have won last Saturday if he had launched more punches while pursuing Bivol. He was waiting for too long. David Benavidez is much more equipped to fight these types of fighters because he has already faced evasive guys and is excellent to trap them.
Turki Alashikh spoke of wanting a trilogy between Bivol (24-1, 12 KB) and the undisputed champion dethroned from 175 LB Beterbiev (21-1, 20 Kos), but it seems that Dmitry will take the most time.
A better fight
The ideal fight for the Turki to be made would be between Beterbiev and Benavidez. It is a much better fight for the world of boxing than that involving Bivo. It is not interesting to look at, at least for us fans. He’s like Shakur Stevenson, and the Americans don’t like to watch defensive guys running for 12 laps like that. At this time of sport, entertainment is king and belts do not matter more.
The tastes of the fans have changed. They have been deceived too many times by cunning promoters who use intelligent matchmaking to maneuver defective fighters in winning world titles. The controversial decisions delivered by the left and nowadays worsen the problem, showing political sport and more on business. Many fans believe that Bivol did not deserve the victory on Saturday evening, but was won by victory because there are more money opportunities with him as a champion than Beterbiev.
What is important now are fighting involving fighters with exciting styles that create interest. Bivol is below to meet these criteria. Beterbiev and Benavidez do it.
The whole non -stop movement that Bivol made last Saturday evening and in his previous fight with Artur makes him a horror for the public. It is fine if it is not on PPV cards, but it is not entertaining enough to fight Betbiev, Canelo or Benavidez. If the fans cared about belts at that time, we would have superstars in each weight class than the small handful. Fighters who are stars have exciting styles. Bivol is not an essential television.
Canelo already has a scheduled match against Terence Crawford for September 13 in what Turki calls “The big fight.” Unless Alvarez does an easy job in Crawford, 37, it will be unlikely to fight Bivo this year.
“It doesn’t matter. Trilogy [against Beterbiev]Benavidez, Canelo, or just as always, I’m waiting for an offer, and I say: “yes”, “said Dmitry Bivol Press conference after fightingSpeaking of his next fight after his victory over Artur Beterbiev last Saturday evening in Riyadh.
