Mild heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) and former champion Dmitry Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) will run it again tomorrow on the Kingdom Enviornment in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.
Their first struggle was ridiculously shut – so shut {that a} rematch was demanded by nearly everybody.
Combat one was a showcase of method and talent. Beterbiev pressed the struggle, whereas Bivol used wonderful footwork and hand velocity to offset his fellow Russian. Beterbiev upped the ante within the later rounds – Bivol hung robust, however the judges noticed Beterbiev the winner by scores of 116-112, 115-113, and 114-114.
The struggle may have gone both means.
Will it’s repeat or revenge?
