Artur Beterbiev 175 vs. Dmitryry Bivol 174.1 – Weighing the results for Saturday
The undisputed lightweight heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and pretender Dmitry Bivol successfully weighed on Friday during weighing for their headliner Dazn PPV on Saturday, February 22 in Rijada, Saudi Arabia.
The former WBA Bivol (23-1, 12 KO) Master looked in great shape, but he still showed slight bruises under the left eye of tough blows he received from Beterbiev in the previous fight on October 12, four months ago.
During the meeting Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KO) he seemed larger and had a definite appearance for him, as if he was ready to chase Bivol to knock him out this time. Beterbiev came down from knee surgery in the first fight and did not start exerting pressure to the middle point.
Beterbiev dominated the last half of the fight, but many fans remember only the first part. They felt that Bivol won because of his quick start.
Weighing the results
– Artur Beterbiev: 175
– Dmitryry Bivol: 174.1
“I thought it was close, but I made a divided decision to Bivol. I thought he was really well boxed, but you couldn’t argue with Beterbaiew’s decision – said Terenka Crawford to Dazn Boxing, asked who he felt, he deserved to win the first fight between Artur Beterbave and Dmitry Bivol on October 12 last year in Riyjad.
“They both feel that they can make corrections in the second fight,” said Adeladipo. “What do you think, who has to make the most corrections to get in?”
“I think Bivol must make the most corrections, because later in the rounds he was a bit affected, even though he hit a little more. I think he has to do a little more to get a victory – said Crawford.
