Last time, the fight was very close, and some people weren’t convinced that Beterbiev deserved the win. It’s great to see that Bivol’s camp didn’t throw any negativity about the result, respect to them for that. And kudos to Beterbiev for agreeing to the rematch. Now, Bivol has a shot at redemption. If he wins this one, we could be looking at the biggest tie-breaker in a trilogy fight.

What’s even better is how quickly they made this rematch happen, no long delays. We’re already set to see it in the first quarter of next year! I also like how the bookies have shown respect to Bivol as even though he lost the first fight, the odds show he’s only a slight underdog.

They've shown both respect, both are Russians and so it makes that there are no trash talking after the fight. And during post fight interview,

Quote

During his post-fight press conference in Saudi Arabia, Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) was not satisfied following the first decision win of his career against Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs).

“He did a good job,” said Beterbiev. “I don't know how he measured his work as good or not, but I'm not a bad boxer. I didn't do bad work. I only did some parts of what I prepared for and not all of the work. I don't why.

No highway robbery but it was very close, if not of Bivol going in the championship rounds, I think Bivol could have won. But he got the last 3 rounds and that is enough for him to secure a win although his coach also thinks that Bivol could have done better in this fight.

What are your thoughts on this rematch? Could Bivol avenge his defeat?

In this rematch Beterbiev is the favorite but if you look at the odds given by the bookies, the difference in odd numbers for both is not that big and maybe there will be change in circumstances with victory that can be obtained by Bivol.
Learning from the previous fight which stated Beterbiev won by decision and that was his first victory by decision because previously all fights were always won by KO, clearly Bivol is not an easy opponent and if Bivol is more careful and can give surprise then he can have victory even with decision also considering some of Bivol hard punches in the previous meeting were not able to make Beterbiev fall.

It's the same as the first fight, initially Beterbiev was the favorite, but when the fight was postponed because of Beterbiev suffering a injury, the odds shift to Bivol. However, we all know that Beterbiev won that fight, although a bit controversial, but a win is win.

And HE Turki promised a rematch and this is it. He loves this two fighters that's why there are no problems with the negotiations and it could be that the paycheck could be higher that the first fight. But nevertheless, I still no difference as I go with Beterbiev to win as this guy even at his age is still very strong.

In the first fight, Bivol took more damage. As good as he is defensively, he is not capable of avoiding Beterbiev’s power for a full 12 rounds. Beterbiev was able to finish much stronger, while Bivol looked depleted, which makes me believe that Beterbiev is capable of doing more to improve on his performance. Regardless of the outcome, it is going to be another classic battle between these highly skilled competitors.

I will be betting on Beterbiev in their rematch because I believe Arthur will make some adjustments, such as starting strong, unlike in the first fight where he was slow at the beginning. Although this will be another close match, I foresee the outcome remaining the same.

this rematch is a battle of proof whether bivol can beat beterbiev or not, but from what I've seen, beterbiev can still beat bivol because from the beginning he was also dissatisfied with the results of his fight and it seems that he has prepared better in the next fight how he can beat bivol again. And also even though bivol is younger and his stamina is quite good than beterbiev and gets the favor of many people, but beterbiev has experience which he can use to win the fight later, so I will go with beterbiev even though the chances of winning are not so high.

I'll go with Bivol, I have bet on him the last time, and I thought he won that fight as the numbers don't lie. But as what we said, boxers shouldn't let the fight go to the judges hand and so in this case, it's true as I think that Bivol was robbed.

Nevertheless, he has a second chance, and I do think that this time he will do enough to win and will continue to throw volume punches. I remember there were one round wherein he throws like 10-12 combos and some of them hit Beterbiev and put him on the ropes.

I won't go as far as to say it was a robbery. It was a close fight. Victory could be given to either of them. Both Beterbiev and Bivol deserved to win. Yeah, it seems Bivol was the one who threw more combinations, but it was Beterbiev who put the pressure all throughout the fight. It was Bivol who was more athletic but it was Beterbiev who was more composed. In a way, Beterbiev looked more the boss than Bivol. But, again, the winner could have been either of them.

The rematch would be in favor of Bivol somehow. Beterbiev would be 40 by then. Just like in their first match, many would say age is a huge factor. Beterbiev might prove them wrong once more. This man is terrific. He looks sturdy and solid despite the age.

Here are the records/stats of Dmitrii Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.
Exciting match! I will really place a bet here and I am more convinced of Artur Beterbiev, the undefeated. But still, I am worried about Dmitrii Bivol as he got more matches and height advantage (extremely small), age also is not that really high gap.

There was a lot of debate in their last fight because it was so close so it's only fair that they have a rematch. I think Bivol has the potential to make adjustments now and get his revenge, so I’m leaning towards him winning by decision. He’s younger and faster, as long as he avoids the big punches that Beterbiev will throw early on.

Great undercard indeed, but with regards to the rematch, even Beterbiev says that he is not satisfied with his win and so are the fans. And up to know, there are still debate whether Beterbiev actually did enough to win or Bivol with his sheer volume punching should have won the fight. So somewhat the result is a big controversial that's why there is this rematch.

And looking at the odds, it's very close just like the last one, but now, it's a flip, Beterbiev is now the slight favorite base on the strength of his win,

So with that, I will go with Beterbiev to win in another close fight.

It's official, we will see the rematch between Bivol and Beterbiev next year in February, and we all know that during their first fight, it was a big controversial as Artur Beterbiev def. Dmitry Bivol via majority decision (114-114, 115-113, 116-112). At least personally for me, I saw it as a draw, as Bivol take the early charge but Beterbiev finishes strong. And so there were talks of a rematch and finally we will see it.

And not just this fight as the card is pretty much stack up,
