WHILE I have been watching people break down this weekend’s super fight for undisputed light-heavyweight supremacy, I’ve noticed how most are going with the theme that Beterbiev is the aggressive puncher and Bivol the elusive boxer.
While that is true, not enough elaboration is going into how well-rounded both these men are, which makes this such a compelling fight. It’s worth noting that Beterbiev has been stopping top-calibre professional fighters for a decade now since he KO’d Tavoris Cloud back in 2014 and Dmitry Bivol has been a World Champion for seven years.
Whilst both of these men remained reasonably unknown to the masses until recent years, it’s easy to forget just how long they’ve remained at the pinnacle of world boxing.
On a stylistic side, let’s start with Artur being the puncher. Of course, that’s true; his fists are packed with dynamite, it takes just a brush to deck his opponents…
