Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Not Overly Concerned About The Size Of The Ring For Fight With Artur Beterbiev

His people should think of those details. Details like that; ring size, glove weight, 12 vs 15 rounds, led to SRL beating Hagler.

It was the scoring not those details. The great Sugar Ray admitted the decision should have gone to Hagler.

Maybe 23% more energy ? If he uses 23% more energy in a 20 by 20 ring that means (all other things being equal) before the end of the 9th round he has used up all the energy he would have used in a 12 round fight in an 18 by 18 ring.

Sounds like bogus math to me. He could lose some efficiency in cutting the ring and cornering, but it's not like he is going to move 23% more just because of the size of the ring.
