03:55WBA, WBO, IPO and the Ring Magazine, Dmitry!
04:07WBA!
04:21WBA! WBA! WBA! WBA!
04:23Gentlemen, I spoke to both of you in the dressing room.
04:27I want a clean and fair fight.
04:29Watch out, no low blows, no rabbit burns,
04:33and I want a clean fight. Good luck!
04:37The long, eagerly awaited return of the fabulous Dmitry Bivol in his 36th year now,
04:44in his 26th fight,
04:46and defending the IVF and WBA.
04:5012 stone 7 belts against another fighter
04:53who wants desperately to get back into the square circle.
04:57Michael Eifar, he's boxed only two rounds in the last three years,
05:03and now he's in deep with Bivol.
05:06But Barry, opportunity knocks,
05:08is what he's waiting for his entire life.
05:12Yeah, it is, and you've got to box your strength,
05:13of course, because what you can do is allow Bivol to dominate the early rounds.
05:17If he gets into a rhythm, that's what you're done for,
05:19that's the end.
05:19You've got to try and make it a hard, nice ball, Bivol,
05:22early on.
05:23So that might not be boxed into, unfortunately,
05:25that might not be boxed into your strength,
05:26but you have to try and be a little bit more aggressive,
05:30I feel, for Eifar, who is a boxer,
05:33more of a counterpuncher by trade.
05:38But you can't let Bivol lead off,
05:39you can't let Bivol dominate.
05:41Both in the black trunk, sometimes happens,
05:44but the black and silver boots,
05:45and the black gloves of the clinical Dimitri Bivol,
05:50with that jab and the understanding,
05:53the IQ is so exceptional.
05:56Look at the size difference.
05:58Look at the poor flow heavyweight,
06:00but he looks so much bigger, doesn't he, Bivol?
06:02Yeah, towering over Eifar,
06:04who's seven years younger.
06:07Only another 15 fight professional appearance.
06:14Only a sporadic amount of times he's been in the ring,
06:20particularly of late.
06:22Will that be a problem?
06:23Dimitri Bivol's been out with back surgery,
06:27which he had last summer.
06:29How will that have affected him?
06:30At the moment, he doesn't look a problem.
06:33He's just slipped back into the groove,
06:34and a left hand, Floor's Eifar,
06:37inside the first minute and a half,
06:40and welcome to the big lead for the German.
06:45The count's at nine, his head's clear.
06:48Just didn't see it.
06:49Lovely time, long left hook there from Bivol.
06:5212 knockouts on the record for Dimitri Bivol.
06:55He's not normally a very fast early finisher,
06:59but what a start for the champion
07:02from St. Petersburg in Russia.
07:04Just pouring out with the left hand,
07:07waiting maybe for another shot down the middle,
07:11and that has woken Michael Affan up
07:14to what it's really all about at this level.
07:17They didn't look like there was a Machop shot.
07:19We could be able to use his hand over it.
07:20Quite that, I mean,
07:21he punches with those front two numbers.
07:23That's where you need the punch.
07:24So it's a real clean contact
07:26at the speed of the shot,
07:28and that's where the damage is caused.
07:31He looks at a total different stratosphere
07:36at the moment, Dimitri Bivol.
07:38And I know it's early,
07:39but that punishing jab and the precision,
07:42there looks like no ring rust.
07:44After almost 500 days out,
07:46he's straight down to business.
07:48The professional man he is.
07:50Combination punching.
07:52Dominant opening round for Dimitri Bivol.
07:55Defending his IVF at WBA like heavyweight titles,
07:59and it looks like him to maintain that length
08:02so he can throw that left to go through the middle.
08:04Took out Malik Zinnard and six in Saudi June 2024.
08:10I wonder what he's thinking here, Dimitri Bivol.
08:13Michael Affan left everything to try and do.
08:16Getting a jab back together.
08:18He's got to put that first round right behind him
08:20and start again.
08:21But the thing is, what all has shown
08:24is that if you make a mistake coming forward,
08:27I'm going to make you pay for it.
08:28So that's got to make you more defensive.
08:30I hope he really just doubles down
08:32and goes, well, I'm just going to go for it now.
08:35I think that's the only chance he's got.
08:37Boxing since he was a kid.
08:38250-plus amateur fights.
08:41There's that right hand.
08:42The sharp shooter,
08:43and he looks in a menacing mood as well.
08:46Tonight, Dimitri Bivol body shot too.
08:48We saw Alan Bellich from Germany
08:50falling apart against Hamza Shiraz
08:53in a couple of rounds down at Super Middle.
08:56Last week, he was unfortunately
08:57and a lovely guy, but out of his depth.
09:00And at the moment, I thought he's struggling.
09:05What a smoothest airing on Bivol.
09:08It just looks like he's just not,
09:10there's nothing on the shot, isn't it?
09:11He's just effortlessly throws the shot.
09:12Because he, like you see when a footballer
09:15kicks the ball, he barely moves his foot back
09:18for about 100 miles an hour.
09:19He generates the power of the shot,
09:21because he just turns his body into the pitch.
09:23He's trying here, I thought,
09:24but he was so far out of range
09:26because of that job for the distance.
09:29That phrase we used earlier.
09:30Just keep your eyes on the feet,
09:33the brain ticking over all the time
09:35of Dimitri Bivol.
09:38A supreme boxer, he really is.
09:46Tight defense, I can't try to get closer.
09:52Is it that range there, I thought,
09:53where you should put the trigger,
09:55but he's thinking, I don't want to make it,
09:56I've got to make it perfect.
09:58And why do you think that I've got to make it perfect?
10:00You end up doing nothing.
10:01Trying to whip an uppercut in,
10:03which is a good shot against Bivol,
10:05who's obviously from the old score,
10:07that left-hand counter.
10:08Just the speed he's still got at the age of 35,
10:13even after the back problems.
10:15Yes, but more than the speed,
10:17it's the timing of the shot.
10:19Because he's timing your movement,
10:20so you're half-paying the path for it,
10:22helping him out.
10:25And again, you talk about that being in neutral,
10:28that balance, center in your stance.
10:30He's there all the time, isn't he?
10:34Right hand for my guard.
10:36Good effort there.
10:40Needs to get some confidence
10:41after being floored so early in the fight.
10:44There's the jab of Bivol,
10:45doesn't want to be on the end of that.
10:47Needs to move that upper body.
10:49Try and get it close.
10:51I'd like to see Bivol to be a little bit more bullish now.
10:54They're pushing him back with that jab.
10:58Good defence though, from Bivol.
11:04Long time for Bivol, he had to get surgery,
11:07he had no real choice,
11:08but the return is fantastic to see.
11:13But it's good to have Michael F. back in the ring as well.
11:16So inactive, just waiting for his opportunity.
11:20And it can't be difficult in boxing politics,
11:22can't end you.
11:23We've sort of missed that moment,
11:25but he's only 28.
11:27And he's got nothing to lose here,
11:29and I was expecting him to win,
11:30so just give it a real go.
11:32And he's a good little boxer as well, he is.
11:34He moves well, he punches nice and clean on the line.
11:39But he's a boxer,
11:41and he's a guy who's a master boxer.
11:43So that was always going to be the appeal task for him.
11:48Yeah, the hope may be that Bivol at this stage would slip slightly.
11:53Absolutely no evidence of that.
11:55Fight number 26 for Bivol,
11:57only the one defeat on the record,
11:58the controversial one against Beno BF,
12:01the first time around.
12:03But if you want to make
12:06these things come into pain,
12:08like the injuries,
12:08has he recovered from the injuries in the surgery,
12:11is he going to get old overnight?
12:14It's got to be fought at a higher pace
12:16that he doesn't want to fight at.
12:18And the risk of that is,
12:19you've got to be more adventurous,
12:20and go forward,
12:21more and walk on the shelf
12:21like he did in the first round.
12:22So you can see where the problems lie,
12:25but that would be the key to find out
12:27if those things are real.
12:29No, he doesn't control the distance,
12:31he controls the pace, doesn't he?
12:33Yeah, but the jab matters.
12:34Absolutely.
12:35It's on his terms, Bivol,
12:37and he does it early in a fight.
12:39It's the jab and the timing,
12:41because he catches you coming in,
12:43and that slows you down
12:45to where he wants you to be.
12:47And then you think before you throw,
12:49and that's the timing
12:50to where you're thinking and throwing.
12:51He's doing something.
12:53In many ways, Craig Richards
12:54had the best night, didn't he,
12:57against him?
12:57Yeah, he did, yeah, yeah.
13:01Absolutely well.
13:03Still going strong, Spider,
13:05one of the popular fighters
13:07on the domestic circuit.
13:09So many light heavyweights
13:11joining the queue
13:12to try and become a world champion,
13:14but a few of them might be waiting
13:16for this guy to move off into the sunset
13:18and do something else,
13:19because at the moment,
13:20he's still the master
13:22of this division
13:23and this ring.
13:26Right hand and the left,
13:27it's the speed and the
13:30sheer quality that
13:32it's been years in the making
13:34for Bivol.
13:34Yeah, they can touch it,
13:36touch it with the other.
13:37I'm not a fan of it,
13:37but it works for him.
13:39He spears it out
13:40and he touches, touches
13:41and inviting you to come forward
13:42and then,
13:43because he has such good balance,
13:44he can take that step back
13:45at the back foot.
13:46The front foot slides
13:47just a little bit
13:48and then he can catch
13:49with that right hand
13:50or left pick
13:50as you're coming forward.
13:51You're over the front foot,
13:52you're off balance.
13:53He's got you where he wants you.
13:55He's sort of setting traps
13:56you don't even know
13:56when he's set in a trap.
13:58You think he's making a mistake
13:59or giving you an opening
14:00and what he's doing
14:01is he's inviting you
14:02to come and get me.
14:09A couple of fights
14:10after Craig.
14:10I'm in a judgment
14:11that this isn't you do
14:12and if you don't
14:13you're going to pick you
14:14off on range.
14:15Call it Diesel.
14:18Michael Eifert
14:19and a reverse
14:20the only loss
14:21on his pro record.
14:22That was over 8
14:23to Tom Zuczki
14:24beat him over 10
14:25in a rematch.
14:27Good win over Pascal
14:29in Canada too.
14:31He would become
14:31the first German
14:32one like
14:33Heavyweight Champions
14:34it's Jürgen Bremer
14:35a decade ago
14:36if he was to
14:37pull this on
14:38good fighter Bremer was.
14:48Into the fourth round.
14:52Total control so far
14:53from Dimitri Bevel
14:55who floored I-Van
14:56in a flash
14:58in the opener.
14:59There's that jab
15:00stunning home
15:01head and body
15:05again because he is
15:06quite a cerebral fighter
15:08here Bevel
15:10and that thing
15:10about your brain
15:11getting in the way
15:11it's on there
15:12you know
15:12this is set up
15:13for him to make
15:14a bit of a statement
15:14here to Ike
15:15that's the truth of it.
15:16It's not here for the spot
15:17it's just that's the level
15:18that they're at.
15:19so I think you've got to start
15:21being a little bit more
15:22thoughtful here Bevel.
15:23Yeah you mentioned
15:24the word bullish earlier
15:25in the second round
15:26I thought he was going to
15:27really go for it
15:28having floored
15:28I-Van
15:29I think maybe he'd want to
15:30put on that big statement
15:31that reminder
15:32to the world
15:33that he's still
15:34by far the king
15:36at light heavyweight
15:37and one of the pound
15:38for pound best
15:39because people stop
15:40talking about you
15:41when you're away
15:42for a while
15:42you know how this sport works
15:44but also
15:46I mean
15:48ideally
15:49he could do us some wrong
15:50just get comfortable
15:51get all that rust off
15:52and so on and so forth
15:53and feel good about himself
15:55but I still think
15:56perception
15:57at his level
15:58that was quite important
15:59to make a statement
16:00and so you know
16:01just to not keep people
16:03overconfident
16:03if I want to fight you
16:05hasn't looked like
16:05any rust though
16:06and we saw that
16:07in the only minute and a half
16:08and still with a jab
16:10he looks razor sharp
16:11here Dimitri Bivel
16:12and out of range
16:13I farted
16:14just struggling with
16:16getting close
16:17and being effective
16:18and somehow dealing
16:19with the
16:21uber quality of Bivel
16:23but he's
16:23he'll be a victim
16:24of his own success
16:25because he is so brilliant
16:26that if this goes to the distance
16:28and I'm not saying this guy
16:28if it goes to the distance
16:30then he'll be criticised
16:31if it stays like this
16:32if every round is like this
16:33and he just wins
16:34and wins
16:34without breaking sweat
16:36then people will say
16:37nah
16:38she's on one
16:39and they probably
16:40would be right as well
16:41I mean he's at that level
16:42now when he gets criticised
16:43but winning every round
16:44because he can do more
16:45because he's so good
16:46and that's what
16:47and that's what we want
16:48for our superstars
16:49and he is one of those
16:50my gut feeling is Bivel
16:51won't want to cruise
16:52to a points decision here
16:53I think he'll want to
16:54get rid of I fart if he can
16:57I fart
16:59just needs
17:02something doesn't he
17:03there
17:04so out of range
17:05he's got a statile load
17:08he's got to change it
17:09in the combination
17:10I think he'll have some success
17:13first round knockdown
17:16every session to Dimitri Bivel
17:18into the fifth
17:19what can Michael Iver
17:21conjure up here
17:22to try and get his 14th
17:24and the dramatic win
17:25and wrench the world
17:28like heavyweight titles
17:29away from Dimitri Bivel
17:31at the moment
17:33doesn't look like
17:33he's got the class
17:34and ability
17:35but you never know
17:36in this sport
17:37he's still in there
17:38he's still trying
17:40but he's on the end
17:41of this wonderful jab
17:43and the defense
17:44as well at Bivel
17:45yeah the feet
17:46and around to get out
17:46and you see there
17:48and if it came forward
17:49then Bivel just slide
17:51and again that two-step rule
17:52that I talk about
17:53two steps
17:53and go to the side
17:54this is so well
17:56and just negate you
17:58turns you off
17:58straight away
18:02if it's a good fighter
18:03he's a nice little boxer
18:05but I mean
18:06sticking to your strengths
18:07which I always say
18:08you should do
18:08is not going to ruin
18:09this fight
18:09because he's up against
18:10a guy who's a better boxer
18:11so he has to try
18:12and do something different
18:15coming in in spurts
18:16of attacks
18:17will work
18:18but if he's just going
18:19to head to that all the time
18:20Bivel's going to skip
18:21all the distance
18:22and catch you
18:22over your front foot
18:23so jab to the head
18:25two to the body
18:26and come over the top
18:27with the last shot
18:27but that might bring
18:28the hands of the dog
18:29from people
18:29and I think that's the worry
18:31that Bivel just targeted
18:32the body there
18:33first time in the fifth round
18:34and as the elbows come up
18:37and he tries
18:38I thought to get his own
18:39jab and boxing
18:40there are gaps
18:41and Bivel
18:43would have studied him
18:44on tape
18:45and he's going for that
18:46particular spot
18:47with the left hook
18:48this time
18:49keep your eyes
18:50on the body work
18:51of Dimitri Bivel
18:52and like all good fighters
18:54they seem to have more time
18:55than you do
18:56and you can't understand why
18:59you know you're like
19:00I'm doing the same
19:01the same as you
19:01you're not faster than me
19:03but yes
19:04you've got all the time
19:05of the goal
19:05to make your move
19:18respectful atmosphere
19:20watching
19:21a
19:22master at work
19:24yeah but he is
19:26I think he needs to do more
19:28people here now
19:30he should be putting pressure
19:31on
19:31we don't take any risks
19:33I think you can do it
19:33quite safely first as well
19:35once he's done on
19:36double jab
19:37a bit more
19:38stepping beyond the shots
19:39haven't spoke to his team
19:40in the build up
19:40but I reckon
19:41they will be looking at
19:42the sort of six to eight
19:43round mark
19:44yeah he goes
19:45that's more like it
19:45as he sustains
19:47yep
19:48to put the combinations
19:49together
19:50softening up
19:51Michael
19:51Admar
19:52Crowder liking this
19:53last 30 seconds
19:55of the fifth round
19:56and here we go
19:57with Dimitri Bibble
19:58and beginning now
19:59to really unleash
20:01all of his armory
20:03oh no
20:04Michael Admar
20:05who's brave
20:05and strong
20:06and he'll be there
20:07as long as he can
20:08but can he withstand
20:10the pressure
20:11and it's the quality pressure
20:13of Bibble
20:14yeah just
20:15again there
20:16when Bibble just went
20:16so they go to work
20:17punch
20:18I was ringside
20:19in Monte Carlo
20:20and it was right in front of me
20:22and that was the
20:22arrival of Dimitri Bibble
20:24some years ago
20:25and how well he's done
20:26to clean up this
20:28light heavyweight world
20:30and stand as one of the
20:32pound for pound greats
20:33of the modern generation
20:35I can't get it
20:36closer
20:37needs to let the hands
20:38go
20:39and there
20:39will leave him
20:40more open
20:42and vulnerable
20:44but you've got to roll the dice
20:46haven't you
20:46this is the chance
20:47of
20:48if someone gives you a chance
20:49to box for the world title
20:50you say yes
20:51in regards to the fight
20:52if someone gives you a chance
20:53to box
20:53you know
20:55who's going to be a hall of famer
20:56and one of the best fighters
20:57of this generation
20:59then of course you do
21:00it's an honour
21:01you go
21:01you destroy
21:02as you tell your rankings
21:03about in years to come
21:07the wand
21:08of the left hand
21:09from the orthodox star
21:11of Bivel
21:13just at the end of the fifth
21:14he began to up the tempo
21:16will he do that again
21:22look at that
21:24that little step
21:25and when he steps
21:26he just turns that front foot
21:27with a little bit more weight
21:28than that jab
21:30that's something that Tommy
21:31Hurges used to do
21:32when you feel that jab
21:32and turn that left over again
21:34just get a bit more
21:35push on the shots
21:36my favourite fighter
21:37part of you
21:37Tommy Hurts
21:38I was a level
21:39of time unfortunately
21:43good work though
21:44with his
21:46left
21:46in various ways
21:48the jab
21:48the short hooks
21:50and I love his defence
21:51gets his gloves up
21:53nice and high
21:53doesn't
21:54allow his body
21:55to be too exposed
21:56either
21:57he just is an
21:59all round great
22:00isn't he
22:02absolutely fantastic
22:03because
22:04again
22:04like I keep saying
22:05all the time
22:06but it's so true
22:06and a lot
22:07a lot of the
22:08really top fighters
22:08in this generation
22:09as well
22:11they do the fundamentals
22:12really well
22:14quite often
22:15their hands
22:15are high
22:15elbows
22:16something tight
22:16they're punching
22:17down the line
22:17everything's neat
22:19and that's really good
22:21for kids to learn
22:21rather not
22:22those super flashy
22:23stuff where people
22:24have to try and box
22:25like Nas
22:25or Mayweather
22:26you know
22:26some fighters
22:27can do it
22:28most fighters
22:28can't do it
22:30but they
22:30everyone can do this
22:31not at the same level
22:32but even learn
22:33how to do the fundamentals
22:34and if you're good at it
22:35then you're gonna go on
22:36and succeed
22:37absolutely
22:37the youngsters
22:38should be watching
22:39Dimitri Bivol
22:40and the art
22:41of pure boxing
22:43and the tactics
22:44that he executes
22:45he's had
22:45this under complete control
22:47from the opening bell
22:49and knocked down
22:49in the first round
22:50and at the halfway stage
22:52Michael F. Hart's done well
22:53to get to this point
22:54because
22:55you just feel
22:56he can turn the switch
22:58turn the screw
23:00you do feel that
23:02then why is it
23:03that would be the big question
23:05that's going to be the biggest question
23:06this slide
23:07slide again
23:08without any panic
23:10about moving
23:10not like really overreaching
23:12there was a shot
23:13I'm avoiding
23:14he's almost anticipating
23:16what you're doing
23:16and just adjusting his feet
23:18almost
23:19you think he's still there
23:21he's already gone
23:22he's a thought ahead of you
23:24absolutely right
23:25David Benavides
23:26maybe at a catch weight
23:27better be F3
23:29Callum Smith
23:31it's a great
23:32light heavyweight division
23:34Zach Shelley
23:35shocked us all
23:36the other day as well
23:37didn't he
23:37Willie Hutchinson's
23:38boxing world
23:39Ben Whittaker
23:39where does his future lie
23:41how far can he go
23:42at the moment
23:43Dimitri Pribble
23:44on the left of your screens
23:45you don't need the identification
23:47as a boxing fan
23:49you love him
23:49don't you
23:50in with Michael
23:51Emma
23:51from Magdeburg
23:52in Germany
23:53the 28 year old
23:54who can learn
23:55from this experience
23:56that's
23:57a good effort
23:58with the left hand
24:00he just doesn't want
24:01to have any regrets
24:01tomorrow
24:02I can't
24:02say listen
24:03I got beat by the
24:04better guy
24:05a level 2 above me
24:07but you know what
24:07I can cover game
24:08and learn from it
24:09well I think you can
24:10he's having a go
24:11within his realm
24:12of the way he boxes
24:13you know he can't
24:15just go fight
24:16through your face
24:16all of a sudden
24:17and then go
24:17I had a really good go
24:18that's not always
24:19the epitome
24:20of having a go
24:20you have a go
24:21with what you're good at
24:22you're trying to get
24:23that jab in the play
24:24he is trying to let
24:24his punches go
24:25in combination
24:26he's just falling
24:27short
24:28most of the time
24:29he's now going to be a couple of shots
24:30but not enough
24:32to make a dent
24:32on the scorecards
24:33of course
24:34no better in the 7th round
24:35decent defence as well
24:37I thought
24:38knows his way around the ring
24:39now I guess the
24:41the concentration goes to
24:43what does Bibble do next
24:45everything has been
24:47so easy really
24:48neat and tidy
24:49and effective
24:50he's got the knockdown
24:52he didn't go for the early stoppage
24:53getting the rounds in
24:55when does he
24:57push the paddle
24:58but when he decides
25:00for the pace
25:00Bibble
25:01there's no answer
25:01so
25:03there's no
25:04worrying thing
25:05to do that
25:06so he can't do it
25:06more often
25:07I feel like
25:08I mean he's a real
25:09thinking fighter
25:10so
25:11he's always looking for that
25:12clean tide in the hit
25:14so he'll keep pepping him
25:15with that jab
25:16and there's solid
25:16or whipping
25:17or soft
25:17or touching
25:18but he's always waiting
25:19he won't explode
25:20unless he sees the clean target
25:22that was a good combination
25:23for Bibble
25:24a touch of damage
25:25to the nose of
25:26Eifar
25:27just made it check
25:28momentarily
25:29in the seventh round
25:43the jab
25:44how many has he thrown
25:45how many has he squeezed
25:47through the guard
25:48head and body
25:49let's see the hook of the jab
25:50we can jab, hook
25:51and then
25:52whip that left
25:53it's on the body
25:53I love the way he does that
25:55we've seen it a couple of times
25:56but
25:57maybe more
25:58there we go
25:58but the grab on the right hand
26:00keep that right shoulder
26:02almost over your front
26:03and just bend the knees
26:05and whip that left
26:05into the body
26:07yeah
26:08he was putting on
26:09here a couple of rounds ago
26:10he seems to have stopped that
26:12a
26:13Bugs
26:14treasure on the line
26:16this is the first challenge
26:18for a world title
26:19from Michael
26:19I thought this is a
26:20the umpteenth world title fight
26:22for Dimitri Bivel
26:27listen to the crowd
26:28get behind their hero
26:30he's a
26:32a wonderful ambassador
26:33great athlete
26:34fantastic human being
26:36I'm sure I've always say that
26:38about Dimitri Bivel
26:40it's been a pleasure
26:41to be around him
26:42for a lot of his career
26:44and I guess
26:45this is the time now
26:46maybe
26:47this is what I was feeling
26:488-9
26:50that he would up it
26:51but maybe not
26:56and to get
26:57it's the same thing
26:58that you're praising for
26:59you're criticizing for
27:01his brain
27:03he's a thinking
27:04if I say
27:04don't make any silly mistakes
27:07don't take any stupid risks
27:08and then
27:09and then we start
27:10criticizing for not taking
27:11any risks
27:12and not
27:14being too thoughtful
27:17I think it's very very hard
27:19to criticize Dimitri Bivel
27:20yes you might want more drama
27:22I do my best to do that
27:24you might want more drama
27:26you might want the knockout
27:27but you know what
27:27he's just boxing
27:29so well
27:29and he's just a pleasure on the eye
27:34he rarely has a mark on him
27:36does he
27:37he just knows the art of defense
27:39as well as attack
27:41but I just feel that he might want to make a bit of a statement
27:44there he's targeting the body again
27:46it's the right sort of time
27:47minute and a half
27:48left in the eighth
27:49Michael Effort will
27:51try and swing from the hip a bit more
27:53he knows he's a long way behind
27:54on points
27:55that will leave openings for Bivel
27:57yeah
27:58his timing and balance for Bivel
28:00there's two biggest assets I think
28:03the timing of a shot
28:05and the balance that he's always
28:07in the good position
28:08whatever he is
28:09whatever he is
28:09always in a good solid position
28:11so you're never going to hit him
28:13when he's too far over the back foot
28:15too far over the front
28:17but even there
28:18he looks like he's leaning forward for the jab
28:20he's actually just bends his legs
28:22and gets the chest over the front knee
28:24so he's still on balance
28:27and everything still behind
28:29the solid penetrating jab
28:31of Bivel
28:36what a puzzle for I-Fart to try and work out
28:38and again way out of range
28:40and back into the rounds
28:42this is where Bivel comes to life
28:43the left hook to the body
28:44trying to soften up
28:46I-Fart
28:47and then he can maybe go through
28:50the gears and find the knockout win
28:53still plenty of time left
28:55championship rounds ahead
28:56but all bread and butter
28:58for Dimitri Bivel
29:00Michael I-Fart
29:02it's hard to life out
29:03very hard
29:04he's having a goal
29:05he's having no success
29:06he's getting picked off
29:07they're not power punches
29:09and they're not
29:09but yeah I think
29:11I picture the stinging shots
29:13because people hit so correct
29:15so correct
29:16I think he felt
29:16one or two more in that round
29:18B-F and W-B-A
29:19defence
29:20let's see you
29:22Michael I-Fart
29:23surely
29:23is not going to have
29:25the answers tonight
29:27and the
29:28attention is on
29:29whether Bivel can get
29:30the stoppage win
29:32and then when
29:33he will return
29:39sort of the curiosity
29:40he's gone really
29:41from I-Fart
29:42it would be a punch
29:43from the gods
29:44if he was to do anything
29:45there's no evidence of it
29:47Bivel now starting
29:48to use that jab
29:50more aggressively
29:53well maybe
29:54it might have said
29:55if you feel tired
29:56at the pace a little bit
29:57but that jab
29:58so comes away
29:59but anyway
29:59for Bivel
30:00isn't it always
30:01always in the face
30:03and again
30:04it's not the fastest
30:05but the timing
30:06is really really good
30:07he always finds a home
30:08it comes back
30:09in the same line
30:11it goes on
30:12doesn't come back low
30:13very often
30:14almost always comes back
30:15to the chin
30:16or the chest
30:16didn't end me
30:20B-F all B-F all
30:22again
30:22the crowd thirsty
30:24for some blood
30:25maybe another knockdown
30:28sometimes it happens
30:29you get a knockdown
30:30Early in a fight
30:32It can drift a bit
30:36Fabio won't be gone. I wanted me against Daniel the bar in the first 15 seconds got another one
30:42And then the bar come right back at him. So
30:46That's a good shot from people partially blocked. You could feel the force of it more now. He's planting his
30:52feet
30:56Again, because he has such a good box of brain he won't
31:01Deviate from what he what he just needs to do did not take any shots and he always did not
31:07take the risk
31:07I'm not taking the risk
31:09Systematically what where you got if I can it's gonna be at my pace
31:13Now look at that just gliding back out of range
31:24He's trying to get that little bit of a different rhythm trying to change move his shoulders a bit we
31:29can have it to read
31:31The people doesn't know he almost blocks all the little movements. I'll just concentrate on that
31:36Almost like a rectangle from you know from your forehead to your sternum
31:39It's conscious on that movement there as long as I can hit that target the rest of it is irrelevant
31:47Still chucking out leather high five
31:49Decent defense at times. He's got the look of a confident boxer
31:55But that jab is a constant weapon for Bibble
32:02And that the Russian crowd are enjoying it now they're watching his craftsmanship
32:14Again at the end of the round just revs it up a bit again Bibble
32:22Is he gonna be happy for a points just try this try that maybe a faint here than there certainly
32:28if you're coming forward
32:29You've got to try and change the levels of the shot
32:30But they know in the corner don't they
32:33You've got a feeling we might be over our heads here, but also you're a good boxer yourself, you know,
32:39you've got to try to be first with the jab and try and make him react to you
32:44But then when he reacts to you it's much sharper and different the better. You're not sure how you've got
32:49How your time goes up against his time until you're in the rink together
32:52And when you find out he's nowhere near as good
32:56It's all very well preparing sparring partners, but they can't they can't really reenact the real thing and especially if
33:02you find yourself on the seat of your pants in a minute and a half too
33:05The confidence just adds a little bit
33:07It does be you still got to think I still don't try and win the fight you can't feel sorry
33:10for yourself
33:11And we've all been there and you that's you can't feel sorry for yourself
33:15It doesn't matter that you're nine and a half rounds down
33:18It's more than that because of the knockdowns you still got to try and win the next round that's what
33:22you've got to think about
33:25And it's simple you're going to try and win the fight try and knock him up
33:27But if you're not a knockdown puncher that's irrelevant
33:29So you just go along your thing and you've got to take your knocks and your licks and it is
33:33what it is
33:39Five knockouts on the slate of the 28-year-old from Germany
33:4712 for Bittles, so half of his victories have come inside the distance and you would probably expect this to
33:55be the 13th but not as yet
34:02He just won't make a mistake
34:05Even then there was a left foot to the body there
34:07He had to overreach to throw it but he still would have landed and his brain is going no
34:12I have admired it
34:14It's like no because I'm moving my front foot and that's a mistake
34:18No he would land and get away with it
34:24It's almost like in the undisputed game the boxing game he's really sort of hit it's almost like it programmed
34:29inside his head doesn't it?
34:31He's so intelligent
34:33That he just wants to absolutely leave nothing to charge
34:36Unless he's forced to like we're meant to be at Danny show then yeah, I'll fight back now. I don't
34:45know choice. I have to
34:46I have to do it again
34:50Distance control
34:53Yeah, put the punches together really well then last 30 of the 10th round here worldwide heavyweight championship
35:01from the Kavenberg in Russia
35:03Because he is for dead like he almost did the right thing
35:06There was a tag in the hit and he didn't show one shot
35:09He threw a combination of punches which means it has at the comfortable against the biblical slide slide right hand
35:15over top
35:23Michael Lappert be brave courageous tough they touch clubs, but they will complain about that and maybe opponents will think
35:32He's thinking too much about the trouble mate
35:35Overthinking
35:37But isn't he brilliant
35:39I love everything he does
35:42Because
35:49Evens
35:49So they love him in Russia the homecoming has been
35:56A display of the sweet science
36:00Dimitri Bebel certainly hasn't gone backwards in anyway off of the back surgery
36:0435 years young and still demonstrating how to control a ring and how to box to
36:14perfect tactics
36:16With no risk
36:18Should he roll the dice? Should he just go for it?
36:21It doesn't seem like there's any harm. No, we sent the walk down a little bit here
36:25There's a little bit more intense here from people
36:36The jab the softener the right hand coming up my farm in more of a shell here
36:47The jab coming through the middle as well and yep, you're right Barry. There is an intent here from
36:53Dimitri Bivel he is up the pace
36:56And he's trying to track
36:59iPhone into corners
37:01He's walking it down here. You missed the shot there Bivel
37:05Not many misses. No, I'm gonna move on about that now
37:11But he is even when he's put the foot on the pedal it's still as a sense of
37:18Caution or discipline cameras. Yeah, you know that
37:22I'm not gonna make any city talking to carry me myself and the disciplines Admiral but also
37:30And I felt that he tried it back in the fourth fifth round Bivel
37:34But that was the best yet and it's sunk into the body of
37:39I thought admit it left in the 11th round
37:42He's ready to go here. I think I think the body shot
37:45I think he really was hurt there. He was winded down in the first could he go down again in
37:51the 11th?
37:52Is it time to strike for Dimitri Bivel and just polish off what's been another
37:58sparkling display of boxing
38:07I think he's still hurt I thought I think he's winded by that body shot
38:12And he's crouching up and I think he wants to hear the bell
38:16See the grimace on his face
38:18Can't deal with a hand speed people looking strong late on here. There's another body shot
38:24My time eats the bell here. Well, I can't stand him. He's really hurt here. He's in a fog
38:31Michael Ibar just about gets back to his corner. Look at the legs
38:36There we go
38:38That was a torrid 11th round. I think if that had happened in the 8th or 9th
38:43He wouldn't have got through this, but he's got three minutes to survive
38:47But Dimitri Bivel won't care about that. He'll want to get this
38:51Statement victory at the end knocked down in the first minute and a half of the fight
38:57Maybe there's one late on air. It's been a totally dominant Dimitri Bivel performance
39:04He's never looked at any trouble in any bother of defending his IVF and WBA
39:11Super worldwide heavyweight titles at all in front of this Russian crowd the homecoming
39:18No chicks in the armor. No
39:22Many ways flawless a very very makes mistakes with mystery with a handful of punches throughout the whole font
39:28Let alone the wrongs
39:30economy rates really good
39:33Clean hitter the feet of all as always a fantastic the balance of distance control is
39:40There we go the best just almost twist which example a bivel which is a rarity back to that orthodox
39:49jab and maybe
39:51Chas trying to find one more
39:54Lethal left hook to the liver
40:01Can't explode no longer combination the bivel
40:04As we spy over the ring there
40:08The concentration
40:10From both of them. Michael Eifert has tried absolutely everything he can tonight and he deserves enormous credit
40:18Going back to Germany
40:21He's tried but in this wrong he's trying to survive
40:24There's been a difference here from this wrong for him. You can't blame him. You can't blame him. He just
40:28wants to get over the line
40:29Willie here comes bivel
40:32Will the accelerator push right down to the floor in this last minute
40:38And will he finish as he started with some sort of knockdown now?
40:43He wants it Dimitri bivel smelling blood and I find is gone just under a minute to survive to hear
40:50that final bell
40:52Good difficulty through a straight shot and the second right hand was above the club. Look at that for the
40:57German really great
40:59Good see
41:00Chucking it out
41:01There's only one a minute of any round here, but he's certainly
41:06To the German fans he's got back home because
41:10He's almost got 12 rounds with the great Dimitri bivel one of the stars of the modern generation
41:16Who is putting on a bit of polish at the end of this one he's been majestic from start to
41:22finish and he's returning with some pop
41:26Dimitri bivel come on
41:28Let's make better bm3 let's have the trilogy 10 to go in the return of Dimitri bivel
41:37He's shot from start to finish
41:39And he's only gone out of second gear. Michael Eifert does hear the final bell and gets a round of
