Comments Thread For: BoxingScene Today - Will there be huge hype around Beterbiev-Bivol III?

[gamesworn]

pacing will be crucial in part 3

in both fights

Bivol always wins rounds 1 through 3 and 9
Artur took rounds 6 and 12

Artur’s best work in part 3 will happen in rounds 7 to 9

Bivol dropping Artur in round 12 would be one helluva way to punctuate the victory. Artur will open up and go balls to the wall in 12 as Bivol is up 9-2 on the cards

Mixing up Body and Head punches is probably Artur's best chance here. He really needs to confuse Bivol and catch him off guard. Catching Bivol is no easy task though, really good defense and movement. I favor Bivol slightly for the third fight.

Bivol adjustment in fight 2 was to stand his ground frequently and keep center of the ring

Artur adjustment in fight 3 could be some back foot counters.

Artur’s best strikes on Bivol across 24 rounds was the 2-1 he nailed Bivol with in round 7 of fight 1

That 2-1 was a round changing combo. Artur went from losing the round to winning the round

in fight 2 Artur finally landed some clean overhands on Bivol. But I don’t remember Artur catching Bivol with counter straights in the rematch unlike fight 1

imo Bivol has a very great 8.5/10 defense

it’d be 10/10 with great head movement and rolls
