Bivol is still exactly the same amateur olympic style fighter

[Haka]

Was mentally not willing to dig deep and stand his ground, can only fight from his safe space distance, backed up way too much and gave the fight away. Has the fighting mindset of a point exchange full contact match instead of a fist fight.

Smart dad.

Bivol tried to stand up to the bully at times during the fight, but every time he did, he would get bludgeoned and had to retreat. Beterbiev won that fight, justly.
