I don't see how he can improve other than manage to land a fight changing punch. Pretty much do what he wanted to do the first fight but was not quite able.
i think beterbiev will do well in a rematch more so than bivol, he now knows how bivol moves around, when he decides to take a round off, what punches he throws before he retreats. the only way bivol can do better is fight more which would spell bad news for him if he decides to fight beterbiev

There is a reason why beterbiev lost 4 out the first 5 rounds....his foot work and hand speed did not match bivol...when he did manage to pin bivol it was because bivol slowed down a little .. it so in my opinion Artur who will be 6 months older and 40 years of age in the rematch will now only lose foot speed and slow down a little....you don't improve when your 40 it's that simple.
The ways bivol can improve are much more realistic...more speed and movement and throw more jabs and punches especially the last minute of each round
Bivol did not lose this fight and at best beterbiev got a draw....but if you score it how it should be scored bivol won that fight......fights should be scored with those 4 criterias,. effective aggression, defense, ring generalship, and clean punches.
Bivol's "fight or flight" patterns were predictable towards the end of the fight and Beterbiev capitalised.
One thing that Bivol is that he is very consistent in his repetitive movements and ultimately that was beginning to work against him towards the end of the fight.
