Your Gameplan for Artur in the Bivol Rematch

[SouthpawRight]

Great thread Brother!

I actually look at BB like one of those veterans that has all his wisdom and training accessible... An apt analogy would be when Sponge Bob makes his brain so that it knows only fine dining (Squiddy wanted to impress a high school rival lol). So I do not think he has to focus on a corner, or a plan... Just know when to make adjustments.

People tend to skew things: They picture one fighter as having options (Bivol) while the other (Beiter) as just trying to wreck... when in fact, both guys are locked into a program. Could Bivol "Out slug" the slugger? Could Beiter "outbox" the boxer? It has happened...

But I believe for this fight no one will know what to do until it develops a bit, goes a few rounds or so. Bivol should concentrate on taking any of these early rounds with his jab and general activity, and Bieter should be wary of giving up any of these rounds because the fight will probably be close.

About the only other thing I would want for Beiter is for him to create some distance, variate the timing of his shots, so he does not just lose power trying to force a shot, head hunting. Sometimes power punchers throw too much and lose "steam" on their shots.

Artur does not like Bivol’s hook

I want to see if all of those high impact shots in fight 1 resulted in career changing wear & tear on Artur

Can’t make this chit up
The so called master boxer will get his ass handed to him a second time

Good to see you back!

Bivol extenuates his ability with his range, the ability to throw a lot of different shots well, including a hook. Artur has to e able to look in the mirror and say "No matter how ****** up I may be... I can surely give another 12 rounds!! Lol.

War Beterbiev

He didn't really get his ass handed to him the first time. You don't go the distance with Beterbiev by getting your ass handed to you.

But I think Artur has his number NOW, I agree there. I'm having a hard time seeing what Dmitry can do to negate the power now that Artur knows what to expect.

I'm also wondering if Artur will be the same, better, or worse. Like it or not, Bivol got his attention more than once, so... We'll see.

Great analysis, and explains Dmitry's decision not to use it. I personally thought there were moments where he could've used it after a sustained attack to buy himself some time, but then I'm not a boxer.

Soviet Step Bivol’s throws Artur off if he trained for Lateral Bivol

Artur would need to make real time adjustments and take a couple of rounds to get the timing down

Artur has vast experience against the step, but every Soviet Step is different.

Bivol uses his handspeed and hook to fight more, bike less this time around

He’s confident in his physicality following fight 1 where he survived the great Russian-Chechen bear

Great Ward’s body attack nerfed the power of Russian bear Kovalev

Ward is much better inside fighter than Bivol

But Bivol did get a left hook downstairs on Artur

Bivol was frustratingly defensive on the inside with Artur. He clammed up in the high guard like Joshua Clottey

On the inside Bivol doesn’t rip shots down the middle. It’s all hooks around the guard
