What to expect from Bivol in the fight against Beterbiev?

In his fights against Ramirez and Arthur, Dmitry focused heavily on headhunting. During his bout with the Mexican, Bivol's coach reminded him not to put too much power into every punch and to set up his attacks more effectively. As a result, Bivol didn’t manage to secure a knockout, but won both fights convincingly by decision. However, against Beterbiev, Dmitry will need to be even more composed and cautious.

At the start of the fight, Bivol will likely choose a longer distance than usual, sitting low and attacking with powerful straight punches aimed upwards.

Bivol will then begin to threaten his opponent with a left hook and throw light jabs to mask powerful body shots. Using short steps with his left foot, Dmitry will quickly close the distance and land combinations. If Beterbiev suddenly shortens the distance, Bivol will immediately meet him with a combination of two hooks. 

Dmitry effectively defends against the ropes, using a tight guard and upper body movement. However, against Beterbiev, he’ll need to focus more on changing distance and constant lateral movement. At times, Bivol will switch to a high stance, making his punches faster, which will allow him to outscore his opponent.  

Bivol’s chances of victory  

Dmitry has a solid chance of taking the first quarter of the fight. His superior defense will help him outscore Beterbiev, especially with his double left punches and hooks to the body. By the 6th or 7th round, Artur will start to take risks. During this phase, Bivol will have opportunities for knockout attacks, though there will also be an increased risk of getting caught.  

Bivol's stamina is excellent, but Beterbiev matches him in this aspect and will likely save his best combinations for the final rounds. Dmitry will need to avoid close-range exchanges and increase his tempo. If he manages this, he can win the fight on the judges' scorecards.

13/10

In his recent fights, Artur has been older than his opponents, which theoretically could mean he might lag in speed and stamina. However, in reality, he remains a dangerous knockout artist, having preserved both speed and power in his punches.

For the fight against Bivol, Beterbiev will be in excellent shape, as there’s no doubt he will be highly motivated for such a significant clash.

What to expect from Beterbiev in the fight against Bivol?

Artur will prepare various tactics for quick engagement. He might utilize a lightning-fast jab while jumping in and unleash a powerful right hook. It’s possible that Beterbiev will initiate his attack with a strong hook, followed by combinations to the body and head. Artur will attack from the flanks to prevent Dmitry from getting firmly established on his left foot.

Beterbiev will start heavily investing in crosses and uppercuts to penetrate Bivol's guard. At close range, Artur will focus on attacking the body. His goal will be to create at least a small breach in the defense for a powerful shot to the side of the head.

The Wolf will accelerate after the halfway mark of the fight when he senses Bivol's rhythm and understands how to pave the way to a knockout. By the 8th or 9th round, expect multi-punch combinations, such as a couple of straight punches, a body hook, and a right to the head.

Beterbiev's chances of winning

With his knockout power, Beterbiev has the potential to disrupt Bivol's usual fighting style. It will be challenging for Dmitry to maintain a high pace and impose an aggressive style. While Beterbiev may lack in defense, he is strong and technical enough to avoid getting knocked out in the first half of the fight, allowing him to confidently provoke Bivol into exchanges.

By the end of the match, Artur will retain his punching power and attempt to finish the fight before the final bell. If his heavy body shots pay off and Dmitry lowers his hands slightly, Beterbiev's chances of a knockout will significantly increase. To win by decision, he will utilize constant slips and dodges, enabling him to unleash powerful attacks while avoiding concentrated hits from his opponent.

Bivol vs. Beterbiev Prediction 

The fight is expected to start at a measured pace, with the early rounds likely going to the fighter whose jab and short combinations land more effectively. In rounds 3, 4, and 5, Bivol may have a slight advantage due to his solid defense and quick combinations. He will aim to slip Beterbiev’s attacks while countering with shorter bursts.

Bivol is anticipated to avoid close-range exchanges and gain the upper hand with his long straight punches at mid and long distances. He will maintain his mobility, making it challenging for Beterbiev to apply his usual pressure effectively.

Towards the end of the fight, Bivol is likely to surpass Beterbiev in significant strikes landed. Both fighters will come equipped with a variety of tactics, making adaptability a crucial factor. In this regard, Bivol is expected to have the edge, leading Eliseev to view him as a slight favorite.
