Dsalita In anticipation of the upcoming clash between unified light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and WBA champ Dmitry Bivol on October 12th in Riyadh, David Benavidez likened Beterbiev to a relentless “train” due to his aggressive fighting style.
According to Benavidez, while both fighters are talented, they possess different approaches to the sport. Bivol, known for his boxing prowess and movement in the ring, faces the powerhouse of Beterbiev, who is relentless in his attacks. Benavidez believes that Bivol has the ability to outbox Beterbiev by utilizing his jab and evasive footwork to avoid getting caught by his opponent’s heavy shots.
Reflecting on past fights, Benavidez pointed out that Beterbiev had been hurt by Oleksandr Gvozdyk, indicating that Bivol may have the power to exploit this weakness. However, he acknowledged that Beterbiev’s track record of 20 knockout victories in 20 fights is impressive and poses a significant challenge for Bivol.
As the highly-anticipated bout approaches, Benavidez emphasized the importance of Bivol staying on his feet, using his jab effectively, and standing his ground during exchanges to secure a potential victory against the relentless force of Beterbiev. The outcome of the fight remains uncertain, with Bivol needing to strategize carefully to counter Beterbiev’s aggressive approach.
In pursuit of his own dreams and aspirations, Benavidez sees victory over Bivol as a way to solidify his position as the best in his generation and make his mark in the boxing world. His relentless pursuit of success reflects the determination and dedication required to achieve greatness in the sport.
