00:01I want a clean NFL fight. Watch out, no low blows, no rabbit burns, and I want a clean fight.
00:10Good luck.
00:11The long, eagerly awaited return of the fabulous Dimitri Bivol in his 36th year now, in his 26th fight,
00:21and defending the IVF and WBA, 12 stone 7 belts against another fighter who wants desperately to get back into
00:31the squared circle, Michael Eifar.
00:34He's boxed only two rounds in the last three years, and now he's in deep with Bivol, but Barry Opportunity
00:42Nox is what he's waited for his entire life.
00:46Yeah, it is, and you've got to box to your strengths, of course, because what you can do is a
00:49lot of Bivol to dominate the early rounds.
00:52If he gets into a rhythm, that's what you're done for, that's the end. You've got to try and make
00:55it a hard night ball, Bivol, early on.
00:58So that might not be boxing, unfortunately, that might not be boxing to your strengths, but you have to try
01:02and be a little bit more aggressive, I feel, for effort.
01:06He is a boxer, more of a counter puncher by trade.
01:12But you can let Bivol lead off, you can let Bivol dominate.
01:16Both in the black trunk sometimes happens, but the black and silver boots and the black gloves of the clinical
01:23Dimitri Bivol with that jab and the understanding, the IQ is so exceptional.
01:30Look at the size difference. Look at the pool flow heavyweights, but he's so much bigger, isn't he, Bivol?
01:37Yeah, towering over, Ifar, who's seven years younger, only another 15 fight professional appearance, only a sporadic amount of times
01:53he's been in the ring, particularly of late.
01:56But will that be a problem, Dimitri, we know he's been out with back surgery, which he had last summer.
02:04How will that have affected him? At the moment he doesn't look a problem, he's just slipped back into the
02:09groove, and a left hand, floors Eifer, inside the first minute and a half.
02:14And welcome to the big league for the German.
02:20The count's at nine, his head's clear.
02:22Just didn't see it, lovely time, long left hook there from, from Bivol.
02:26Twelve knockouts on the record for Dimitri Bivol, he's not normally a very fast early finisher, but what a start
02:35for the champion from St. Petersburg in Russia.
02:39Just pouring out with the left hand waiting, maybe, for another shot down the middle, and that has woken Michael
02:48Affan up to what it's really all about at this level.
02:52It didn't look like there was Machop shop, he couldn't be able to use his hand over with quite that,
02:55I mean, he punches with those front two knuckles, that's where you need the punch, so it's a real clean
03:00contact at the speed of the shot, and that's where, that's where the damage is caused.
03:06He looks at a total different stratosphere at the moment, Dimitri Bivol, and I know it's early, but that punishing
03:15jab and the precision, there looks like no ring rust after almost 500 days out.
03:21He's straight down to business, the professional man he is, combination punching, dominant opening round for Dimitri Bivol, defending his
03:31IVF for WBA light heavyweight titles, and it looks like it will be in a decent and pretty emphatic fashion
03:41based on the opening three minutes. Wow.
03:45Yeah, this is, it was an uphill battle as it was, but no less, even more summonsable task, because he
03:53looked a little bit instead of his legs, he covered quickly enough, he looked a little bit instead of his
03:56legs, he didn't see the shot, and that's going to make him even more defensively minded, which he needed to
04:02be the other way.
04:14He took out Trent Broadhurst, on to Monte Carlo, back in November 2017, in a round with one shot.
04:22He just slides back, just slides back with him, as if a conformant, he slides back, we talked about that
04:31balance in general distance, he slides back with him, to maintain that length, so he can throw that left to
04:36go through the middle.
04:37Took out Malik Zinnard in 6 in Saudi, June 2024.
04:42I wonder what he's thinking here, Dimitri Bivol, Michael Everett left everything to try and do, getting a jab back
04:49together, he's got to put that first round right behind him and start again.
04:54But the thing is, what all has showed, is that if you make a mistake coming forward, I'm going to
04:59make you pay for it, so, that's got to make you more defensive.
05:02I hope when it does, I hope he really just doubles down and goes, well I'm just going to go
05:05for it now.
05:07I think that's the only chance he's got.
05:08Boxing since he was a kid, 250 plus amateur fights, there's that right hand, the sharp shooter, and he looks
05:15in a menacing mood as well.
05:18Tonight Dimitri Bivol, body shot too, we saw Alan Bedich from Germany, fall apart against Hamza Shiraz, in a couple
05:26of rounds down at Super Middle.
05:27Last week he was, unfortunately, a lovely guy, but out of his depth, and at the moment, I thought he's
05:34struggling.
05:34What a smooth saying on Bivol, just looks like he's just not, there's nothing on the shot, isn't it?
05:43He's just an effort left to me, he throws the shot, because he, like you see when a footballer kicks
05:47the ball, he barely moves his foot back, about 100 miles an hour.
05:52Generates the power of the shot, because he just turns his body into the pressure.
05:55He's trying here, I thought, through a right hand, but he was so far out of range, because of that
05:59job for the distance.
06:01That phrase we used earlier, just keep your eyes on the feet, the brain ticking over all the time of
06:08Dimitri Bivol.
06:09Bivol, a supreme boxer, he really is.
06:18Tight defence, Eichler, trying to get closer.
06:24He's at that range there, I thought, where you should put the trigger, but he's thinking, I don't want to
06:28make it, I've got to make it perfect.
06:29And what do you think, I've got to make it perfect, you end up doing nothing.
06:33Try to whip an uppercut, which is a good shot against Bivol, who's obviously from the old score, that left
06:39hand countering, just the speed he's still got at the age of 35, even after the back problems.
06:47Yes, but more than the speed, it's the timing of the shot, because he's timing your movement, so you're half
06:53playing the path forward, helping him out.
06:57And again, you talk about that being in neutral, that balance, centre of your stance, he's there all the time,
07:03isn't he?
07:06Right hand, right guard, good effort there.
07:12Needs to get some confidence after being flawed so early in the fight, there's the jab of Bivol, doesn't want
07:18to be on the end of that.
07:19He'd still move that upper body, try and get it close.
07:23I'd like to see Bivol to be a little bit more bullish now, that pushing him back with that jab.
07:31Good defence though from Bivol.
07:46The homecoming in Russia, for Dmitry Bivol.
07:52What is this, Bivol British?
07:54What are you allowing?
07:58All right, well.
07:58The right right, the right right, and goes down.
08:21supporter...
08:22Counting the shots on inside
08:24This guy tries to conform he makes a paper any little half the stick is gonna make
08:30Back trouble has been around a long time for people. He had to get surgery and no real choice, but
08:38The return is
08:40Fantastic to see but it's good to have Michael F back in the ring as well
08:45so inactive just waiting for his
08:48Opportunity and it can't be difficult in boxing politics. Can't it you?
08:52Sort of miss that moment, but he's only 28
08:56It's not going to lose it all expected him to win so just give it a real gun and it's
09:01a good little boxer as well
09:02He is he moves well, he punches nice and clean on the line
09:07But he's a boxer and he's everything he's a guy who's a master boxer. That's that I was always going
09:12to be the uphill task for him
09:16Yeah, the hope maybe that Bivel at this stage would slip slightly
09:22Absolutely no evidence of that fight number 26 for Bivel only the one defeat on the record to control the
09:28controversial one against better be ever first time around
09:32But if you want to make
09:34These things come into pain like the injuries as he recovered from the injuries in the surgery is he get
09:40easy
09:40Gonna get old overnight
09:42It's got to be fought at a higher pace that he doesn't want to fight that
09:46And the risk as you got to be more adventurous and go forward more and walk yourself like in the
09:50first round so you can see where the problems lie
09:53But that's that that would be the key to find out if those things are real
09:58Control the distance he controls the pace doesn't he and then with the jackpot is absolutely
10:04It's on his terms Bivel and he does it early in a fight. It's the jab at the time of
10:09his album because he catches you coming in
10:11And that slows you down
10:14To where he wants you to be and then you think before you throw and that's that's the time is
10:19where you're thinking and throwing
10:20He's doing something in many ways Craig Richards had the best night
10:31Still going strong spider one of the
10:35Popular fighters on the domestic circuit so many light heavyweights joining the queue to try and become a world champion
10:42But a few of them might be waiting for this guy to move off into the sunset do something else
10:47because at the moment
10:49He's still the master of this division and this ring right hand and the left it's the speed of the
10:58Sheer quality that
11:00It's been years in the making for Bivel
11:02Yeah, they've been touching, touching with the other fan of it, but it works for him
11:07He spears it out and touches touches and biking to come forward because then because he has just good balance
11:12He can take that step back to the back foot the front foot slides just a little bit and then
11:17he can catch you that right hand on that
11:18Because you're coming forward. You're over the foot foot. You're off balance. He's got to really want you
11:23He's sort of sent a trap. You don't even know when he's setting a trap
11:26You think he's making a mistake or giving you an opening and what he's doing is he's inviting you to
11:30come and get me
11:31Oh
11:37Couple of fights after Craig Richards. He of course pulled off the big one
11:42Against Sal Canelo Alvarez that back in May 2022 four years ago
11:49You're better Ramirez
11:51Lyndon Arthur
11:53I think sit out and better the end times too. What about this guy?
11:57Michael my boss
12:00Thirteen victories in fourteen fights nowhere near the same level
12:06But he's done everything
12:08He's been asked of him
12:18He's able to go and again, he doesn't do a lot of things wrong here. It's just the timing of
12:23Bivolts just too good for him
12:25He doesn't get a good shot there
12:27Yeah, you know fit but
12:30You have to use that you don't you have to go forward you're going to walk up the shots
12:34But you just better time in the judgment of this isn't you do and if you don't you're going to
12:38pick you up on range?
12:40Pulling diesel
12:42Michael I thought
12:43No first the only loss on his pro record
12:46That was over eight to Tom Zuczki beat him over ten in a rematch
12:51Good win over Pascal in Canada too
12:55He would become the first German white while my everywhere champions. It's Jurgen Bremer a decade ago if he was
13:01to pull this off
13:02Good fighter Brainer was
13:09Into the fourth round
13:16Total control so far from Dimitri Bivol who floored I thought
13:20In a flash in the opener there's that jab stunning home head and body
13:29He couldn't use it quite a cerebral fight in here before
13:34Nothing about your friend getting the way it's on
13:36No, this is set up to make a bit of a statement to your time. That's the truth of it
13:40It's not if it's false just that's the level of that
13:43So I think it's that you got to start being a little bit more
13:46Faulty here Bivol
13:47Yeah, you mentioned the word British earlier like in the second round I thought he was gonna really go for
13:52it having flawed
13:52I thought I think maybe you want to put on that big statement that reminder to the world that he's
13:58still by far the king
14:00At light heavyweight and one of the pound-for-pound best because people stop talking about you when you're away
14:06for a while
14:06You know how this sport works?
14:09But also, I mean
14:12Ideally you could do with some rounds just get comfortable get that all that rust off and so on and
14:17so forth feel good about yourself
14:19But I still think perception is at his level that was quite important to make a statement and certainly no
14:25Just to not keep you overconfident of wanting to fight you
14:29Hasn't looked like any rust though and we saw that in the only minute and a half and still with
14:33the jab
15:01He looks razor-sharp here Demetri Bivol and out of range
15:04He would be right as well. I mean, he's at that level now that he gets criticized for winning every
15:08round because he can do more because he's still good
15:11And that's what we want for our superstars and he's one of those
15:14My gut feeling is Bivol won't want to cruise to a points decision here. I think he'll want to get
15:19rid of I-Font if he can
15:21I-Font
15:23Just needs
15:25Something doesn't he
15:27They're so out of range
15:29Yeah, but he's got us that he's got a start pile load. He's got to change it in the combination.
15:34I think we'll have some success
15:35High quality
15:38From Demetri Bivol as expected and good to see it 35 after the back surgery
15:45That still he possesses the brilliance and the torque
15:50Should he get through this?
15:52As it looks like he will
15:54We'll return to the trilogy
15:56And if his excellency Turkey Elshik is watching live on the zone
16:01We hope you can make it
16:04For all of us boxing fans because the first two
16:0724 rounds
16:08Of absolute
16:11Brilliance
16:12They were you tend to think that's going to be a big factor
16:14But there's other people in play that can make the fight as well
16:16That's true, but that might be different with the biggest many for the fight and we really want to go
16:20but
16:21So it's good to see him again, isn't it?
16:24Why are we playing?
16:26Why are we playing?
16:29Why are we playing?
16:32What?
16:34First round knockdown
16:37Every session to Demetri Bivol into the fifth
16:40What can Michael Iver conjure up here
16:42To try and get his 14th and those dramatic win
16:46And that wrench the worldwide heavyweight titles away from Demetri Bivol
16:51At the moment
16:53Doesn't look like he's got the class and ability
16:56But you never know in this sport
16:58He's still in there. He's still trying
17:00But he's on the end of this wonderful jab
17:04But the defense as well at Bivol
17:05You see there
17:09If it came forward and Bivol just slide
17:11And again that two-step rule that I talked about
17:13Two steps and go to the side
17:15This is so well
17:17And just negate you turns you off straight away
17:22If it's a good fighter, you know, he's a nice little boxer
17:25But I mean sticking to your strengths which I always say you should do
17:29It's not going to ruin this fight
17:30Because he's up against the guy who's a better boxer
17:32So he has to try and try and do something different
17:35So he's coming in in spurts of attacks
17:38Will work
17:39But he's just going to head to that all the time
17:41Bivol's going to skip all the distance and catch you over your front foot
17:44So jab to the head, two to the body
17:47And come over the top of the last shot
17:48But that might bring the hands up and down from Bivol
17:50And I think that's the worry
17:51That Bivol just targeted the body there first time in the fifth round
17:55And as the elbows come up and he tries
17:58I thought to get his own jab and boxing
18:01There are gaps
18:02And Bivol would have studied him on tape
18:05And he's going for that particular spot with the left hook this time
18:10Keep your eyes on the body work of Dimitri Bivol
18:13And like all good fighters, they seem to have more time than you do
18:17And you can understand why
18:20You know, you're like
18:20I'm doing the same and same as you
18:22Well you're not, you're not faster than me
18:24But yes, you've got all the time of the goal to make, to make your move
18:40Respectful atmosphere watching
18:43A master at work
18:44Yeah, but he is
18:46I think he needs to do more
18:48You know
18:50You should be putting pressure on
18:52We don't take any risks
18:53I think you do it quite safely first as well
18:56Once he's done line, double jab
18:57A bit more stepping beyond the shots
18:59I haven't spoke to his team in the build up
19:01But I reckon they will be looking at
19:03The sort of six to eight round mark
19:05Yeah, that's more like it
19:06As he sustains
19:08Yeah, to put the combinations together
19:10Softening up Michael
19:12And like this
19:14Last 30 seconds of the fifth round
19:17And here we go with Dimitri Bivol
19:19And beginning now
19:20To really unleash
19:22All of his armory
19:23Oh no, Michael Atman is brave and strong
19:27And he'll be there as long as he can
19:29But can he withstand the pressure?
19:32And it's the quality pressure
19:33Of Bivol
19:35Yeah, just again there when people just went
19:37So they go to work a little bit
19:38And again he's not
19:39He's not a massive one punch in there
19:41But he's clean with his shots
19:43Shows new combinations
19:44Changes the angle of the punch as well
19:46And that's what's going to open this guy up
19:51He's very used to going the distance Bivol
19:54I thought
19:55That's five knockouts
19:58In 13 victories
19:59So
20:01As they work on that left eye
20:02He's not quite got the power
20:04Really to trouble Bivol
20:08As you say he's just got to do what he does best
20:10And unfortunately
20:12It's not good enough tonight
20:14But then we didn't expect it to be
20:17No
20:18You never know to you
20:21I mean
20:23It's not a big puncher
20:24But they can all punch their weight in that division
20:26That's for sure
20:27If you get caught with a clean shot
20:29Bivol's not a massive puncher on paper
20:31He's a good puncher
20:32But not a massive puncher
20:34But he puts him down on the first half hooky throw
20:35So you know
20:36It's always available to you
20:43The Bivol's reason what's going on
20:45That's a difference
20:45You ask the Australian Trent Broder
20:47As whether he can punch
20:48I was ringside in Monte Carlo
20:50And he was right in front of me
20:52And that was the arrival of Dimitri Bivol
20:54Some years ago
20:55And how well he's done
20:56To clean up this light heavyweight world
21:01And stand as one of the pound for pound greats
21:03Of the modern generation
21:05I can't get it closer
21:07Need to let the hands go
21:09And there
21:09Will leave him
21:10More open
21:12Vulnerable
21:14But you've got to roll the dice
21:16Haven't you
21:16This is the chance of
21:18If someone gives you a chance to box for the world title
21:20If someone gives you a chance to box for the world title
21:21And you say yes
21:21In regards to the fighters
21:22If someone gives you a chance to box
21:23You know
21:25Who's going to be a hall of famer
21:26And one of the best fighters of this generation
21:29Then of course you do
21:30It's an honour
21:31You go
21:32You destroy
21:32You tell your rankings about
21:33Years to come
21:37The wanding
21:38Of the left hand
21:39From the orthodox star of Bivol
21:43Just at the end of the fifth
21:44He began to up the tempo
21:46Will he do that again?
21:52Look at that
21:53A little step
21:55And when he steps
21:56He just turns that front foot
21:57To get a little bit more weight
21:58To get that jab
22:00Some of the Tommy Hurts
22:01Used to do
22:02He's still a jab
22:02And turn that left again
22:04Just get a bit more
22:05Push on the shots
22:06My favourite fighter
22:07Tommy Hurts
22:13Good work though
22:14With his
22:16Left
22:16In various ways
22:18The jab
22:19Short hooks
22:20And I love his defence
22:21Gets his gloves up nice and high
22:23And
22:24Allow his body
22:25To be too exposed
22:26To die there
22:27He just is an all round great
22:32Isn't he?
22:32I think he's fantastic
22:33Because again
22:34Like I keep saying all the time
22:36There's so truth
22:36And a lot
22:37A lot of the really top fighters
22:38In this generation as well
22:41They do the fundamentals really well
22:44And
22:44Quite often
22:45They're quite often
22:45Their hands are high
22:45Elbows are something tight
22:46They're pushing down the line
22:47Everything's neat
22:49And that's really good for kids to learn
22:51Rather than
22:52The super flashy stuff
22:53Where people have to
22:54Try and box like
22:55Naz or Mayweather
22:56You know there's some
22:57Fighters can do it
22:58Most fighters can do it
23:00But they
23:00Everyone can do this
23:01Not at the same level
23:02Open even learn how to do the fundamentals
23:04And if you're good at it
23:05Then you're going to go on and succeed
23:07Absolutely
23:07The youngsters should be watching
23:09Dimitri Bibble
23:10And the art of pure boxing
23:13And the tactics that he executes
23:15He's had this under complete control
23:17From the opening bell
23:19And knocked down in the first round
23:20And at the halfway stage
23:22Michael a box done well
23:23To get to this point
23:24Because
23:25You just feel
23:26He can turn the switch
23:28Turn the screw
23:29You do feel that
23:32Then why is it
23:33That would be the big question
23:35That's that's going to be the real question
23:37Why isn't he
23:39Because it doesn't seem any riskier for him
23:42And I'm only saying this because
23:43He's not a good fighter
23:45He's a great fighter
23:46So
23:48He should do more
23:50Maybe
23:53Agree
23:53But I also think
23:55He does everything
23:56Exceptionally well
23:58And he wants to do it at his pace
24:00And my guess is
24:01They were planning for this
24:03Mid to late
24:04Stoppage
24:04If he gets rounds in
24:06After the long absence
24:07The better BM3 will happen
24:10And that
24:11Somewhere around the 8th
24:129th round
24:13He will
24:14Look
24:14To
24:16Force the stoppage of Michael
24:18I mean he hasn't won a round
24:19The poor German
24:20But he's tried
24:21His very best
24:22The first replay
24:23The show there
24:24Which has shown the
24:25The brilliant footwork
24:26Of people there
24:28Only sliding out of distance
24:29But making you miss
24:30Slide
24:31Slide again
24:32Without any panic
24:33About moving
24:34Not really overreaching
24:35There was a shock
24:37I'm avoiding
24:38He's almost anticipating
24:39What you're doing
24:40And just adjusting his feet
24:42Almost
24:43You think he's still there
24:44He's already gone
24:45David
24:46He's a thought ahead of you
24:48Absolutely right
24:49David Benavides
24:50Maybe at a cat's weight
24:51Better BM3
24:52Callum Smith
24:55It's a great
24:56Like heavyweight division
24:57Zach Shelley
24:59Shocked us all the other day
25:00As well
25:00Didn't he?
25:01Willie Hutchinson's boxing world
25:02Ben Whittaker
25:03Where does his future lie?
25:05How far can he go?
25:06At the moment
25:06Dimitri Biddle
25:07On the left of your screens
25:09You don't need the identification
25:11As a boxing fan
25:12You love him
25:13Don't you?
25:13In with Michael Emma
25:15From Magdeburg
25:16In Germany
25:17The 28 year old
25:18Who can learn
25:19From this experience
25:20That's
25:21A good effort
25:22With the left hand
25:22And
25:23He just doesn't want
25:24To have any regrets
25:25Tomorrow I can't
25:26Can say listen
25:26I got beat by the
25:28The better guy
25:28A level 2 above me
25:30But you know what
25:31I can come again
25:31And learn from it
25:32Well I think he can
25:34He's having a go
25:34Within his realm
25:36Of the way he boxing
25:37You know he can't
25:38Just go fight
25:39With your face
25:40All of a sudden
25:40And then go
25:41A really good goal
25:42That's not always the
25:43Epitome of having a goal
25:44You have a goal
25:45With what you're good at
25:46You're trying to get that
25:47Jab in the play
25:47He is trying to let his punches
25:48Go in combination
25:50He's just falling short
25:52Most of the time
25:53He's done with a couple of shots
25:54But not enough
25:55To make a dent
25:56On the scorecards
25:57Of course
25:57No, better in the 7th round
26:00Decent defence as well
26:01I thought
26:01Noses way around the ring
26:03Now I guess the
26:05The concentration goes to
26:07What does Biddle do next?
26:09Everything has been
26:10So easy really
26:12Neat and tidy
26:13And effective
26:14He's got the knockdown
26:15He didn't go for the early stoppage
26:17Getting the rounds in
26:19When does he
26:20Push the paddle?
26:21But when he decides to
26:23With the pace Biddle
26:24There's no answer
26:25So
26:27There's no
26:28Worry thing to do that
26:29So he can do it
26:30More often
26:30I mean
26:32He's a real
26:33Thinking fighter
26:34So
26:34He's always looking for that
26:35Clean tag in the hit
26:37So
26:38Keep pepping
26:39With that jab
26:39And he's solid
26:40Or whipping
26:40Or soft
26:41Or touching
26:41But he's always waiting
26:43He won't explode
26:44If he sees the clean target
26:45That was a good combination
26:47For Biddle
26:47A touch of damage
26:49To the nose
26:49Of Eifar
26:50Just made him check
26:52Momentarily
26:52In the seventh round
27:07The jab
27:07How many has he thrown?
27:09How many has he squeezed
27:10Through the guard?
27:11Head and body
27:12Let's see the hook of that jab
27:14We can jab, hook
27:14And then
27:15Whip that left leg
27:16On the body
27:17I love the way he does that
27:19We've seen it a couple of times
27:20But
27:21Maybe more
27:21There we go
27:22But the back of the right
27:23And then
27:23Hand
27:24Keep that right shoulder
27:25Almost over your front knee
27:27And just
27:27Bend the knees
27:28And put that left
27:29Into the body
27:31Yeah
27:31He was bloody hunting
27:32A couple of rounds ago
27:33Seems to stop that
27:38Everyone's fairly
27:39Comfortable at ringside
27:40Watching Beville
27:42Tick off the rounds
27:46It's going the way we thought
27:47That's the truth of it
27:48He's bossing everything
27:50Efforts having a go
27:53But
27:54Just
27:55Just
27:56Not good enough
27:56And there's no shame in that
27:58Of course
28:01He's showing a little bit more
28:02Sturdy than he was
28:02Certainly in the head
28:03Now first round
28:04And
28:06Trying to make headway
28:07But he's not
28:08And Beville's controlling everything
28:09With relatively ease
28:11Which he thought he would
28:12But I think
28:12Now is the time for him
28:13To lift that pace now
28:15He must have been out
28:15A long time himself
28:18Michael Ifar
28:19And
28:22He's getting his better boxing going
28:24They buy inside
28:25Good enough to win
28:26Any of these rounds
28:30IBF and WBA
28:32But
28:33Treasure on the line
28:35This is the first challenge
28:37For a world title
28:38From Michael
28:38I thought this is a
28:39The umpteenth world title fight
28:41For Dimitri Beville
28:46Listen to the crowd
28:47Get behind their hero
28:49He's a
28:51A
28:51Wonderful ambassador
28:52Great athlete
28:53Fantastic human being
28:55I'm sure I've always say that about
28:57Dimitri Beville
28:59It's been a pleasure to be around him
29:01For a lot of his career
29:03And I guess
29:04This is the time now
29:05Maybe
29:06This is what I was feeling
29:078-9
29:09That he would up it
29:10But
29:10Maybe not
29:15And to get
29:16It's the same thing
29:17That you're praising for
29:18You're criticizing for
29:20His brain
29:22He's a thinking fighter
29:23Don't make any silly mistakes
29:26Don't take any stupid risks
29:27And then
29:28And then
29:29We start criticizing
29:30For not taking any risks
29:31And not
29:33Being too thoughtful
29:36I think it's very very hard to criticize Dimitri Beville
29:39Yes
29:40You might want more drama
29:41I do my best
29:42You might want more drama
29:44You might want more drama
29:45You might want to knock out
29:46But you know what
29:46He's just boxing
29:48So well
29:48And he's just a pleasure on the eye
29:53He rarely has a mark on him
29:54Does he?
29:56He just knows the art of defense
29:58As well as attack
30:00But I just feel that he might want to make a bit of a statement
30:03There he's targeting the body again
30:05It's the right sort of time
30:06Minute and a half
30:07Left at the 8th
30:09Michael Effort will
30:10Try and swing from the hip a bit more
30:12He knows is a long way behind
30:13On points
30:14That will leave openings for Beville
30:17Yeah
30:17It's timing and balance for Beville
30:19There is two biggest assets I think
30:22The timing of a shot
30:24The balance that he's always
30:26In the good position
30:27Whatever he is
30:28Whatever he is
30:28Always in a good solid position
30:30So you're never going to hit him
30:32When he's when he's over
30:33Too far over the back foot
30:34Too far over the front foot
30:36Even there
30:36He looks like he's leaning forward for the jab
30:39He's actually
30:39Just bends his legs
30:41And gets the chest over the front knee
30:43So he's still on balance
30:46And everything still behind the solid
30:49Penetrating jab
30:51Of Beville
30:55What a puzzle for Heifart to try and work out
30:57And again way out of range
30:59And back end of the rounds
31:01This is where Beville comes to life
31:02The left hook to the body
31:03Trying to soften up Heifart
31:07And then he can maybe go through
31:09The gears and find the knockout win
31:12Still plenty of time left
31:14Championship rounds ahead
31:15But all bread and butter
31:17For Dimitri Beville
31:19Michael Heifart
31:21It's hard for Heifart
31:22Very hard
31:23He's having a goal
31:24He's having no success
31:25And he's getting picked off
31:26They're not power punches
31:28And they're not
31:29But they are
31:30I think
31:30I bet you they're stinging shots
31:32Because
31:33People hit so correct
31:34So correct
31:35I think he felt one or two more in that round
31:38Michael Heifart
31:41What a hard sport it is
31:42You get your world title opportunity
31:44We talked about
31:46Earlier
31:47Some of these fighters getting
31:48No in a way
31:49This guy gets Dimitri Beville
31:51I mean it's not easy
31:52But you get a world title fight
31:53You lose to some of you
31:54Who's a flash in the pan
31:56And you know
31:57And you might not be given to the winner
31:58But you might lose to him
31:59And you go I box Dimitri Beville
32:02Do you say that about you boxing
32:04Bobo Freitas
32:05Yeah I do
32:05Yeah I do
32:06Yeah I do
32:06I mean I'm more pro than I am a winner of the title
32:08Because the guy won the title
32:09He wasn't
32:10One of the great fighters
32:12And Freitas in his time was
32:13A good very very good fighter
32:15So yeah you do
32:16And I have a goal
32:17And I got buttons
32:17But it's life innit
32:20You are where you are
32:23Yeah look he's
32:24Little bit more purposeful there
32:26As he got off the stool
32:27Dimitri Beville
32:28What if they're saying to him
32:29Come on
32:30Time to up it now
32:31Into the ninth
32:32Four to go
32:32IBF and WBA
32:34Defence
32:35Let's see you
32:36Michael F
32:38Surely
32:39Is not going to have the answers tonight
32:41And the
32:42Attention is on
32:44Whether Beville can get the stoppage win
32:47And then when
32:48He will return
32:53Sort of the curiosity's gone really from
32:56From IBF
32:57It would be a punch from the gods
32:59If he was to do anything
33:00There's no evidence of it
33:02Bibble now starting to use that jab more
33:06Aggressively
33:08To be
33:08Well maybe
33:09In my sense
33:10If you feel tired
33:11Up the pace a little bit
33:12But that jab
33:13So comes away
33:14But anyway
33:14Always
33:16Always in the face
33:18And again it's not the fastest
33:20But the timing is really really good
33:21He always finds a home
33:23It comes back
33:24In the same line
33:26It just goes on
33:27Doesn't come back low
33:27Very often
33:28Almost always comes back to the
33:30The chin or the chest
33:31Didn't that mean
33:36Beville
33:36Beville
33:37Again
33:38The crowd thirsty for some blood
33:40Maybe another knockdown
33:43Sometimes it happens
33:44You get a knockdown early in a fight
33:45And
33:47It can drift a bit
33:51Fabio Walden
33:52He got that one didn't he
33:53Against Daniel Du Bois
33:54In the first 15 seconds
33:56Got another one
33:57And then Du Bois
33:58Come right back at him
33:59So
34:01That's a good shot from Beville
34:02Partially blocked
34:03You could feel the
34:04Force of it more
34:05Now he's planting his feet
34:11But again because
34:12He has such a good boxing brain
34:13He won't
34:16Deviate from what he
34:17What he just needs to do
34:18To not take any shots
34:19And he always needs to give
34:20I'm not taking the risk
34:22I'm not taking the risk
34:24Systematically
34:24Where you going
34:25If I can
34:26But it's going to be at my pace
34:28Now look at that
34:29Just gliding back
34:30Out of range
34:39He's trying here
34:40Trying to get that
34:41A little bit of a different rhythm
34:42Trying to change
34:42Move his shoulders a bit
34:43We can have it to read
34:45He almost blocks all the little movements
34:48And just concentrates on that
34:50Almost like that rectangle
34:52From your forehead to your sternum
34:54And just concentrates on that movement there
34:55As long as I can hit that side
34:57The rest of it is irrelevant
35:01Still chucking out leather
35:03High five
35:04Decent defence at times
35:06He's got the look of a confident boxer
35:09But that jab
35:12Is a constant weapon for Bibble
35:17And look the Russian crowd are enjoying it
35:19They're watching his craftsmanship
35:28Again at the end of the round
35:30Just revs it up a bit
35:31Again Bibble
35:36Is he
35:37Gonna be happy for a points decision
35:39And will he be criticised for that
35:42I think it's hard
35:43Coming off 450 days out
35:45The back surgery
35:46And all of that
35:47But I think the knockdown at the beginning
35:49And the way he started the fight
35:50People were probably thinking
35:52Oh
35:52We might get an early one here
35:53For a change
35:54Yeah and I think
35:55The reason they're gonna get
35:57Not critic
35:57Not always they're gonna be massively criticised
35:59They're gonna be
35:59Yes Bibble's back
36:00Brilliant
36:00He's back
36:01It was the better VF fighter
36:04And he's boxed very well
36:05Very disciplined
36:07But he could have put his foot on the gas
36:09And this fight would have been finished earlier I think
36:11I think
36:12I mean
36:12This is my VF fighter
36:13He might be really sturdy
36:15That's what he looked like
36:17And he's decided
36:18Just to go
36:19Boxing his own pace
36:20And
36:22Get through the fight
36:23And escape
36:24What they say in the corner to Michael FI
36:26Is it good effort
36:27Keep going
36:28What do they say
36:29They'll have some tactical input
36:30They'll be watching things
36:32Try this try that
36:33Maybe a feint here and there
36:34Certainly
36:35If you're coming forward
36:36You've got to change the levels of the shot
36:37But they know in the corner
36:39Don't they
36:39They'll move deep down
36:40Listen
36:42You've got a feeling
36:43We might be over our heads here
36:44But you're also
36:45You're a good boxer yourself
36:46You know
36:46You've got to try and
36:47Be first with the jab
36:49And try and make him react to you
36:51But then when he reacts to you
36:52It's much sharper
36:53And different and better
36:54You're not sure how
36:55You've got to
36:56How your time goes up against his time
36:58Until you're in the ring together
37:00And when you find out
37:01He's nowhere near as good
37:03It's all very well
37:04Preparing sparring partners
37:05But they can't
37:06They can't really reenact the real thing
37:09And especially if you find yourself
37:10On the seat of your pants
37:11In a minute and a half too
37:12The confidence just ebbs a little bit
37:14It does but you've still got to think
37:16I've still got to try and win the fight
37:17You can't feel sorry for yourself
37:18And we've all been there
37:19And you can't feel sorry for yourself
37:22It doesn't matter that you're nine and a half rounds down
37:26It's more than that because of the knockdowns
37:28You've still got to try and win the next round
37:29That's what you've got to think about
37:32And at some point you've got to try and win the fight
37:33Try and knock him up
37:34But if you're not a knockdown puncher
37:35That's irrelevant
37:36So you just go along your thing
37:37And you've got to take your knocks and your licks
37:40And it is what it is
37:46Five knockouts
37:48On the slate of the 28 year old from Germany
37:5412 for Piddle
37:56So half of his victories
37:57Have come inside the distance
37:59And you would probably expect
38:01This to be the 13th
38:03But not as yet
38:09He just won't make a mistake
38:12Even then
38:13There was a lesson to the body there
38:14He had to overreach to throw it
38:16But he still would have landed
38:17And his brain is going no
38:19And I half admired it
38:21He's like no
38:22Cause I'm moving my front foot
38:23And that's a mistake
38:25Though he would land and get away with it
38:31It's almost like in the undisputed game
38:33The boxing game
38:34He's really sort of
38:35It's almost like he programmed inside his head
38:38He's so intelligent
38:40That he just wants to absolutely leave nothing to chance
38:43Yeah
38:48Unless he's forced to like we better be at
38:50Then he showed
38:51Then yeah I'll fight back
38:52Now I don't know choice
38:53I have to
38:57Distance control
39:00Yeah
39:01Put the punches together really well
39:02Then last 30
39:03Of the 10th round here
39:05World like heavyweight
39:07Championship
39:08From the Garenberg in Russia
39:10Cause here for dead
39:11Like he almost did the right thing
39:13There was a tag in the hit
39:15And he didn't throw one shot
39:16He threw a combination of punches
39:18Which means it has
39:19The comfort of it
39:19The pivotal slide slide
39:21Right handle at the top
39:31Michael Appert be brave
39:33Courageous
39:33Tough
39:34They touch gloves
39:35But it's 10-0
39:36And you're at the knockdown
39:38It's sort of 11
39:42If Michael Appert wins now
39:43It will be one of the biggest upsets
39:45In sporting history
39:47But we said that about Rico didn't we?
39:48Last week
39:49And he nearly did it
39:50He was on his way to win
39:51I thought
39:52Yep
39:54But
39:55Great fighters
39:55Can pull things out of the fire
39:57Bibble hasn't been asked that question tonight
40:00It has gone according
40:01To script
40:02According to how we felt it would
40:04Although
40:06Not
40:07The softening up
40:08And the stoppage
40:09That maybe
40:10Some would have asked for
40:12And he could have got it Adam
40:13That's what I'm saying
40:14He could have got it
40:15That's the truth
40:16And I'm not
40:17I'm not criticising him for
40:18I didn't say it for
40:19I thought that
40:20In many ways
40:21But
40:22He chose not to
40:23Take that risk
40:24And that's fine by that
40:26But you know
40:27People will have a complaint
40:29Will complain about that
40:29And maybe opponents
40:30Will think
40:31I think it's too much
40:32Can get you the trouble mate
40:35Overthinking
40:37But isn't he brilliant
40:38Yeah
40:39I understand
40:40Mo además
40:40I love everything he does
40:42Viva
40:43Viva
40:44Viva
40:45Viva
40:46Viva
40:47Viva
40:48Viva
40:48Viva
40:49Viva
40:49Viva
40:50Viva
40:50Viva
40:50Viva
40:50Viva
40:51Viva
40:52Viva
40:52Viva
41:05Viva
41:06Years young and still demonstrating how to control a ring and how to box to
41:14perfect tactics
41:16With no risk
41:18Should he roll the dice? Should he just go for it?
41:21It doesn't seem like there's any harm. No, we send the walk and down a little bit here
41:25There's a little bit more intense here from Bivol
41:36The jab the softener the right hand coming up my farm in more of a shell here
41:47That jab coming through the middle as well and yeah, you're right Barry there is an intent here from
41:53Dimitri Bivol he is up the pace
41:56And he's trying to track
41:58iPhone into corners
42:01He's walking it down there. You missed the shot there Bivol
42:05Not many misses
42:11But he is even when he's put the foot of the pedal it's still that's a sense of
42:18Caution or discipline cameras. Yeah, you know that
42:22Not gonna make any seem to be myself and the disciplines out in the world but also
42:27No body shots there was a cracker and I felt that he tried it back in the full fifth round
42:34Bivol
42:34But that was the best yet and it's sunk into the body of I thought admit it left in the
42:4111th round
42:42He's ready to go here. I think I think no body shot. I
42:46Think he really was hurt there. He was winded down in the first couldn't go down again in the 11th
42:52Is it time to strike for Dimitri Bivol and just polish off what's been another
42:58sparkling display of boxing
43:03Just give me a little too much time to recover maybe here before I think he's still hurt I thought
43:09I think he's winded by that body shot
43:12And he's crouching up and I think he wants to hear the bell
43:16See the grimace on his face
43:18Can't deal with a hand speed people looking strong late on here. There's another body shot
43:24The right time meets the bell here. I can't stand him. He's really hurt here. He's in a fog like
43:31your life on
43:32Just about gets back to his corner. Look at the legs
43:36There we go to victory people
43:39Showing he can up the tempo what he wants
43:4320 seconds early. I think he just ignited there then especially at the very end of the round just it's
43:49a little too late
43:50That's a hard on there for this fella. It's very hard
43:54No
43:54No, no, no, no
44:02You got three minutes. You're not going to win the fight but it'll be a model victory. You get to
44:06see the final bell
44:09We should have left to a strong start and then it's really good. Put your box throughout
44:16Yes, I feel sorry for himself. He's going to throw the perk away
44:19That's a really good trade that is
44:21You know, it'd be a great story if Michael Eifert can't go the distance and that's what he could tell
44:25the grandkids
44:26He went the distance with the great Dimitri Bivel, but
44:29Really that was a torrid 11th roundup. I think if that had happened in the 8th or 9th
44:34He wouldn't have got through this but he's got three minutes to survive
44:37But Dimitri Bivel won't care about that
44:41He'll want to get this
44:42Statement victory at the end
44:45Knocked down in the first minute and a half of the fight
44:48Maybe there's one late on here. It's been a totally dominant Dimitri Bivel performance
44:55He's never looked in any trouble in any bother of defending his IVF and WBA
45:02Super worldwide heavyweight titles at all in front of this Russian crowd the homecoming
45:09No chicks in the armor. No, no
45:13It's in many ways flawless. They very very makes a mistake. He's misquipped with a handful of punches throughout the
45:19whole fight
45:19Let alone the wrongs
45:21The economy rates really good
45:24Clean hitter
45:25The feet of all as always a fantastic the balance of distance controls
45:31Here we go the best
45:33Just almost twist which example a bivel which is a rarity back to that orthodox jab
45:41And maybe just trying to find one more lethal left hook to the liver
45:52Can't explode no longer combination the bivel
45:55As we spy over the ring there
45:59The concentration
46:01From both of them, Michael Eifal has tried absolutely everything he can tonight
46:07And he deserves enormous credit going back to Germany
46:12He's tried but in this round he's trying to survive
46:15There's been a difference here from this round for him
46:17I can't believe him
46:18You can't blame him. He just wants to get over the line
46:20Will he? Here comes bivel
46:24Will the accelerator push right down to the floor in this last minute?
46:29And will he finish as he started with some sort of knockdown
46:33Now he wants it Dimitri Bivel
46:36Smelling blood and Ike Farnas got just under a minute to survive to hear that final bell
46:43Good there from Bivel if he threw a straight shot
46:45And in the second right hand was a run of the glove
46:47Look at that for the German
46:48Really brave
46:50Gutsy
46:51Chucking it out
46:52Has only won a minute of any round here
46:55But he's certainly winning the heart to the German fans he's got back home
46:59Because he's almost got 12 rounds with the great Dimitri Bivel
47:05One of the stars of the modern generation
47:07Who is putting on a bit of polish at the end of this one
47:11He's been majestic from start to finish
47:14And he's returning with some pop Dimitri Bivel
47:18Come on let's make better BM3
47:21Let's have the trilogy
47:2310 to go in the return of Dimitri Bivel
47:28He's shot from start to finish
47:31And he's hardly gone out of second gear
47:33Michael Eifert does hear the final bell
47:36And gets a round of applause from everybody here
47:39He tried, he wasn't good enough
47:42He was a level of 3 below Dimitri Bivel
47:45Who returns
47:46And the great thing is
47:47He's back
47:48And he looks as good as ever
47:50Yeah he's back
47:51His engine was good there
47:52But Bivel he could take to the pace as we thought he would
47:55And injury free
47:57Hopefully
47:57It looked like he was
47:58And I hope that's the case
47:59But that means you know
48:00The next fight might be the fight that we all want to see
48:03It better be if that can be me
48:04But it was a good performance he was
48:06It was a Bivel like performance
48:08But he just did everything correct
48:09Everything neat
48:10No risk at all
48:14And he controlled everything quite comfortable
48:18It's all not a good night to work for him
48:19I think he could have done more if he wanted to
48:21And he'll know that as well
48:22But why did he need to?
48:24And that's another question there
48:27Did he need to do more?
48:28He didn't have to sell himself
48:29Because he's
48:31Accolade speak for himself
48:32I want him to do more for me
48:34To see a little bit of magic
48:36Off him
48:38Fans always want that
48:39They want that
48:41Extra sparkle
48:44Maybe another knockdown
48:45Maybe
48:47The stoppage
48:48But they got one
48:49Right at the beginning of this
48:51They got a fantastic
48:53Start from Bivel
48:55And then he
48:56They got
48:57The connoisseur
48:58They got the boxing display
49:00From the maestro
49:01In the light heavyweight division
49:03And he knows
49:04He's been beaten by a guy
49:06Who's going to go down to the history books
49:08He's going to be a first time
49:10Hall of Famer
49:10Dimitri Bevel
49:12When he hangs the gloves up
49:14But thankfully
49:14It doesn't look like that's anytime soon
49:17Fight number 26
49:18Do you know what?
49:19He might not be a first time Hall of Famer
49:20Well he should be
49:21There's so many good fighters in this generation now
49:23He should be
49:24And there's a queue that
49:24I think there should be
49:25But I'm not saying
49:26There's so many good fighters in this generation
49:27If they all tie around the same time
49:32There's going to be a big gang in there
49:34So open
49:35Canastota
49:36For more
49:37Because this guy
49:38Is a first time Hall of Famer
49:39He's brilliant
49:41Frank Smith there
49:41With the congratulations
49:42The tight team
49:43He won everything
49:44We don't even have to go to the scorecards
49:47Well done Michael F
49:48Up to your attempt
49:49Dimitri Bevel
49:50Reigns
49:51Supreme
49:51Again
49:52As the light heavyweight king
49:54Are you watching Artur Petabiev?
49:57Are you watching David Benavidez?
50:00Are you watching Callum Smith?
50:02Who's next?
50:02I'm just sorry
50:17Anyway
50:18I'm just kidding
50:18A fix
50:20Being a fix
50:20It's not about
50:22Not about
50:23And I'm just kidding
50:25The glory

50:28Every epit ingredient

50:45spell to last. All three judges have scored the ball the same. All three judges
51:05at the same time, with the score of 120-107. The victory was a single decision. He earned his titles
51:23WBIPF and The Ring Magazine and the winner by unanimous decision and still WBIPF and The Ring Magazine
