and just one more for me Bia bble the rematch what a great fight that is in Saudi how do you see that playing out it's going to be a really good fight again both are great Fighters Canelo and Demitri bivol collaborating together is strange but not impossible as we've just seen one would ask what exactly Canelo Alvarez would be adding to Dimitri Beville like what advice does a loser have for a conqueror [Music] well we'll see soon their collaboration brings memories of May 2022 to mind where one of the biggest shocks in recent boxing history
took place one that was very much similar to the fight between Mike Tyson and James Byer Douglas in the90s well after the fight boxing analysts like Tim Bradley claim many were quick to turn to Canelo Alvarez's side because they had no knowledge of who Dimitri bival was today we know him as the man that handed Canelo Alvarez his second defeat being only the second man to do that after the legendary Floyd Mayweather now the same man finds himself seeking lost glory after he had his Maiden loss in an Undisputed World light heavyweight championship match against
Ur BBF he lost his title and lost his record and now he's seeking restoration from his October loss by partnering with Canelo Alvarez ahead of his fight against against Artur BBV in a few days bival finally tasted defeat for the first time in his boxing career last year getting edged out on points by Ur BBV in a fight for all of the light heavyweight belts although many believe bivel did enough to win the judges didn't see it that way do you see yourself fighting a light heavyweight again maybe maybe follow can now bivel must go
back to the drawing board losing to an unbeaten BBV shouldn't affect bal's reputation much but it likely puts him out of the running for a mega fight now a rematch has been presented before him and he has to prove the reason why he is in Floyd Mayweather's class as the only man to beat Canelo Alvarez but terv and bival once again do battle for all four light heavyweight world titles when they meet in Riyad Saudi Arabia on February 22nd it comes 4 months after their initial meeting where after a close back and forth fight Bader
BV was given the majority decision verdict to become the first Undisputed champion at 175 lbs in over 20 years some boxing fans disagreed with the decision believing that bival should have had his hand raised with another tight encounter expected next month better BV and Ben aidz who do you think is the biggest challenge for you oh better BV is that course because he's a champion he have something to offer me he's unified super middleweight champion Canelo has has given his verdict on the rematch whilst talking to fight Hub TV and finds it tough to split
the two men it's going to be a really good fight again both are great Fighters Canelo himself has experienced competing in the 175 PB division having defeated Sergey kovalev to win the World boxing organization light heavyweight title in November 2019 he then returned to the weight class in May 2022 for a fight against bival himself for the world boxing Association light heavyweight title but this time unstuck losing the fight by unanimous decision while he remains the world boxing Council World Boxing Association and World boxing organization super middleweight champion Canelo didn't rule out a return to
the weight class above when asked if it would interest him is there one person that comes to mind no maybe just to get the rematch Bal maybe is one of the guys I have maybe I will if Canelo does move up to light heavyweight a rematch against biville could be on the cards talking about Canelo Alvarez and biville canelo's arch rival David benavites has had his say on who he thinks would give him a harder fight out of Canelo Alvarez and Dimitri biville the 28-year-old from Phoenix Arizona has been linked with a fight against the
Mexican superstar for 2 years ever since he became mandatory Challenger to his world boxing Council super middleweight title despite the Persistence of Ben aidz a fight could not be made which led to to him making the move up to light heavyweight my REM much not to to like I say he wins the 175 uh Undisputed benovitz has had an impressive start to his campaign at 175 lbs where he has captured the world boxing Council interim title and now remains in pole position to fight for the full world boxing Council World title in the near future
that is currently held by Artur BBV after the Russian star captured the Undisputed light heavyweight championship with a win over bivol last October their highly anticipated rematch takes place on February 22nd in Riyad Saudi Arabia the monster returned to the ring on February 1st where he defeated David Morell via unanimous decision to claim the 30th win of his career and add the world boxing Association regular belt to his collection David benovitz who has 30 wins in 30 fights with 24 Knockouts showed the boxing World why he's one of the most feared pound-for-pound punchers on February
1st after he defeated David Morell by unanimous decision do you think he does I think so he got the ability to do it you know is really strong fighter he going to be hard but he can do it benovitz was dropped in the penultimate round of the fight but had done enough across all three of the judges cards to be declared the rightful winner with this win in which the three judges scored 115 111 115 111 and 118 108 benovitz retained His World Boxing Council light heavyweight interim title and also won morel's World Boxing Association
light heavyweight regular belt but perhaps most importantly for him benava solidified himself as the no one Contender for the Undisputed light heavyweight title after Ur BBV and Dimitri bivol have their highly anticipated rematch on February 22nd facing the winner of BBV versus bivol 2 hasn't always been top of mind for benovitz did you feel that your power hand was as effective as you wanted it to be or was this guy was it like banging on an anv he's like a wool to be honest I didn't throw my punch for years benovitz claimed that he deserved
to fight Canelo Alvarez at Super middleweight however since Canelo has always shown little interest in this showdown benovitz eventually shifted his Focus to light heavyweight but that doesn't mean benovitz has forgotten about Canelo entirely and this was proven during his February 3rd appearance on the Ariel helwani show to be honest with you I would pick beevil because beevil beat Canelo benovitz said when helwani asked him his preference on who would win the Bader BF versus bivel rematch so basically when I beat beevil that would make my case that I'm better than Canelo just to to
break this wall I was throwing it to Target to Target Target because with guys like him you're trying to break the wall you could be catching the Trap he then added I know Dimitri Bal really well I've sparred with him a lot he's a great fighter and we've had a lot of great sparring sessions so I definitely would love to fight bival perhaps if benitz did get a win over baval in the future it would finally entice Canelo enough to face him in another interview with Jim Lampley the 28-year-old claimed a fight against Canelo would
be easier than one against bival if I'm being 100% honest with you I really the only thing that the Canelo fight brings to me is money you know I don't it's not all about money I want the respect from the fans I know I I know a fight with Canelo Alvarez is way easier than bivol because Bol is the one that beat Canelo Alvarez so now the only thing that the Canelo fight brings to me is money I know a fight with Canelo Alvarez is way easier than bval because bival is the one that beat
Canelo Alvarez Canelo is due to face pound-for-pound star Terrence Crawford later this year in a defense of his unified super middleweight titles benovitz revealed last week that he would not drop back down to 168 lbs to face Canelo backing up his claims that the only thing that a fight against the Mexican icon brings him is money I'm interested in beating Bal you know I mean that's what I'm more interested in I'm I'm interested in going up there winning all the titles and and winning the respect from the people did you score better be have Bol
one I I thought Bol won I thought of all one you and I get David benovitz didn't hold back his opinions on the highly anticipated light heavy heavyweight showdown between Ur BBV and Dimitri bivol with BBV plagued by injuries from time to time benovitz has some sharp words for the reigning Champion pbv is getting older and he works out hard he does a lot of Weights so maybe that's what is slowing him down Ben aidz said his chances of beating bival are getting Slimmer and Slimmer but at the end of the day I don't want
to speak on what those men can and can't do um a great boxer and he has punching power and then ver a little bit old you I think his body's breaking down a little bit he works really hard I don't you know I don't take nothing away from him but he does a lot of weights and in boxing when you do too much weight like that that's when you start speaking to sha Zid the recently crowned WBC interim light heavyweight champion and first in line for the winner David benovitz broke the fight Down based on
his experience sparring beevil and being in with former badb have opponent Alexander guik in a surprising twist it's bivel who has had one stoppage in his last 10 fights he discusses doing the hering they're both extremely talented Fighters two different types of Fighters though bivel is a boxer he moves around a lot but he's solid better Bev is a freaking train he just comes at you and takes shots to give shots um great boxer and he has punching power and then ver I think he's a little bit older I think his body's breaking down a
little bit he works really hard I don't you know I don't take nothing away from him but he does a lot of weights and in boxing when you do too much we like that that's when you start to break down more so um I'm leaning a little more towards so what I'm looking at for this fight is bivol has the power to hurt better beev because BBV has been hurt by Alexander guck I've sparred both and bevil cracks harder than Alexander it's going to be a really interesting fight I think if bivel stays on his
feet the whole night uses his jab and then when they exchange he stands his ground I think he has a really good chance of winning but also when BBV gets his engine going that mother freaker is a train he has what 19 fights 19 knockout it's 50 by 5050 a great fight who's Big Time on better be what about better yeah what about he's 40 I think okay okay okay he's going to win that fight easy he might stop him easy hey recently on his podcast former world champion Shawn Porter offered his opinions on the
approaching game Porter showed faith in bal's ability to beat better BF predicting that the fight would not finish in the early rounds as past events have shown ourour better BF is going to take a lot of punches like he always does and I don't think he can catch up to Dimitri bivol stated Porter nope he can't drag bival into a fight too damn disciplined too much lateral movement too intuitive good boxer Porter believes bal's boxing skills will shine through he points out that better have often takes many punches and might struggle to keep up with
bv's movement and discipline I'm already I'm making a bet easy I don't I don't think easy I do have him beaten land man that dude is that is a boxer God DG he can box Arthur better be is going to take a lot of punches like like y the fight has attracted attention as it pits two of today's great Champions against each other and now the great Mexican Champion Julio Cesar Chavez gave his prediction for the fight Chavez assured that BBV will have to go out and knock his rival out during the first eight rounds
of the fight otherwise bivol has better odds in case the fight goes the distance and everything is decided in the judges ballots of the world special will be presented tomor Night by his Excell it's a good fight it's a tough fight said Chavez in declarations to iso.com portal I believe that if BBV does not win in the first eight rounds bival will win by decision the opening rounds will be crucial in setting the tone said Bradley again now the jab doesn't come but then you shoot and then you fall short with your offense because the
guy steps back out of you know and then you try to then he continued while some might expect BBF to begin slowly after his knee surgery and a layoff of 9 months he should adopt an aggressive strategy to disrupt bv's Rhythm and create discomfort early on Bradley added with caution however starting quickly comes with risk as bivel as a sharpshooter as a counter puncher it will be fascinating to see how this unfolds and impacts the fight's Dynamics moving on to his prediction Bradley said my original pick before beater BF needed surgery was a bival win
he has better footwork defense an incredible jab and sharp counters then you try to attack or or or try to make up for that loss of space and then you throw your hands go and that dude counters You Bing Bing Bing get out of here then he walks walks away from you and do it all over revealing his prediction he said if he can keep the fight in the center of the ring without being too stationary for beer bf's mid-range to inside attacks he should win however it's easier said than done but I will go
with bival said Desert Storm speaking about the contest to fight Hub TV former multi-weight Champion turned Golden Boy promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya predicted a win for bivol given his skills it's a very unique style um I would have to give Demitri uh bivol uh the advantage here a little bit because he has better footwork you know uh better beef kind of like just stalks you down you know and with uh with beo he's just like constantly B you know I love that he's he's a good boxer it's a very unique style I would
have to give Dimitri Bal the advantage here a little bit because he has the better footwork beer BV stalks you down but with bivol he's constantly Bam Bam Bam he's a good boxer man with power but he has skill up here it's a tough fight to call but I'm going to have to give Dimitri the advantage it's all about respect in the first few rounds how he's going to take take his punch if he has a chin I think BBV has a better chin than bival for some reason I just feel that I don't know
if it's true if bivel can offset him get him off balance with his footwork it could be a long night for Bader Bev just like constantly B you know I love that he's he's a good boxer man with power so and he's got skill up here it's a tough fight to call it's a tough fight to call but um I'm going to have to give uh Dimitri the advantage during an interview shortly after suffering his first loss he revealed what he wished he would have done differently I want to improve more with my movements but
I didn't move enough I felt I had to move more I had to do more counter punches I just need to add more I felt some moments where I could do it but I was a little bit careful I was just trying to find the perfect moment I was trying but I couldn't I just had to act not just waiting I just had to act but I didn't bval was also asked about better bf's punching power although he wasn't taken aback by it he did admit that he was a bit surprised that all of better
bv's punches in the combination are heavy surprisingly Canelo Alvarez came to mind for bivo while answering that question he concedes that Canelo has more power in a single punch than better BF but the Russian was born strong and can sustain his punching power for longer in a given combination because obviously there is a weight difference yeah I know there's a weight difference uh was there a different type of power it's different yeah Canela using uh singles uh single Punch Yeah his better BF may have the power advantage in the end but bival believes he doesn't
use all of it due to his strategy the renowned boxer Dimitri bivol shared in an interview his perspective on facing two of the most feared Fighters today Ur betv and Canelo Alvarez during an interview bivol spoke about the emotions he experienced while preparing for a fight against betev and the comparison between the Styles and punches of both Fighters his comment shed light on how he perceives the differences in technique and power between the two Champions Punch Yeah his he put full his energy and he punch one once and it's hurt also bitter beef he's strong
Bol began by explaining how emotions can influence a fight noting that many boxers who faced Canelo Alvarez allowed their emotions to take over a lot depends on your emotions he explained for bivel emotions play a crucial role in a boxer's performance and he pointed out that if not properly controlled they can prevent a fighter from reaching their full potential in the ring describing his confrontation with BBF Dimitri bival acknowledged that there was a certain Aura around the Russian fighter often described as a monster inside the ring however far from feeling intimidated bivel admitted he felt
excited about the challenge of fighting someone of better bf's caliber he's uh like uh and he's using a lot of uh heavy punches you know 1 2 3 4 5 and it's I was excited I was trying to use the right emotions about it he said despite better bf's intimidating image bivel felt prepared to face him and confident he could handle the pressure regarding better bf's punching power bivel commented that while his punches were strong they weren't necessarily dangerous due to the force of a single blow but rather because of the accumulation of his combinations
better BF according to Dimitri Bol doesn't rely on a single punch with all his energy as Canelo does it's uh it's uncomfortable also interest bval pointed out that the Russian fighter opts for maintaining a steady rhythm in his combinations unlike the Mexican who puts all his power into individual punches just uh yeah A Hard Punch nothing else you know it's not about one heavy punch and being very dangerous no it's about how strong he is it's not just one punch he's trying to throw combinations every punch in the combination is heavy yeah you know it's
not like with Canelo where he puts all his energy and power into a single punch When comparing BBF to Canelo bivel commented maybe canelo's single punch is harder sometimes yeah than bv's although surprising to many biil explained that the difference lies in each Fighter's strategy I could compare like with the Canelo yeah he put all his energy all his power on single punch and yeah maybe maybe single punch some times he's harder Canelo looks for the right distance to land a punch that concentrates all his energy while better beev is more compact in his fighting
style because BBV doesn't do that BBV was more compact with a tight guard but if you ask them to throw five punches every one of bv's punches will be hard with Canelo maybe the first one is hard but then not so much yeah both of them are strong but BBV is bigger and he was born strong yeah he's just physically a bigger guy along those lines Dimitri bival continued to explain the difference between BBV and canelo's punches he also analyzed and pointed out why he considers a single punch from Canelo to be stronger than one
from better beev Canelo yeah was more like close and yeah yeah compact but beef every punch will be hard yeah because when Canelo lands his punch he's doing it from a distance trying to put all his energy into it BBV is not doing this in the ring but if we asked him to maybe his punch would be harder but he's not using it bival explained Bal also reflected on weight classes highlighting that although Canelo is a small 168 his strength is still remarkable this shows that Canelo is a strong guy too biville stated noting that
both Fighters have different but equally dangerous strengths finally when asked about his strategy when facing opponents like BBV and Canelo biville revealed that he draws inspiration from boxing Legends such as Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali with Canelo maybe first heart and then uh yeah and that's all for now for the very best updates on news moments events and actions in the world of boxing stay connected with us by subscribing to our YouTube channel and don't forget to turn on notifications to get notified when we drop quality contents like this until next time peace out
