This is the apex of competition, no flashy stuff no boasting, no thrashing, Just two cold men, Respectful and The Best in their game, Goat v Goat, Rare to see.
How many Greatest of All Times are there? That word is ridiculous
More like goat 🐐 and runner up lol Bivol is going to go to sleep this time
@@allinonethegreat
@@luke7144it’s a buzzword and blasphemy. Beterbiev and bivol are amazing fighters nevertheless
Canelo and tank should watch
Interviewer: “Dmitry, Orange Juice or Apple Juice?”
Bivol: “Doesn’t matter, I don’t think like this, I just have to make sure to keep myself hydrated”
simple man
He speaks like this cos he’s not a diva
Well the Russian Empire is 0.5% emotions. If Bivol was a western fighter, he’d be going off about how Artur got a gift
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
these mfs got some secret russian Mafia street code beef
Fr😂😂😂😂
Rs bro😭😭😭
They do not like each other. Beterbiev spent years calling out Bivol and Bivol kept turning him down until there was no one left to fight. Beterbiev is pissed that he has to fight into his 40s to get undisputed, and he's pissed that he didn't stop Bivol. Bivol is pissed that he lost and thinks he should have one. This next fight is going to be a war. I don't think it goes the distance - too much on the line for both men.
@@davesmith826 I hope it’s a war , but I doubt Bivol will exchange nd slug with Artur even with how pissed he is that he lost . I don’t want it to go to distance tbh Bivol will stay disciplined that’s his only hope
They was on the Russian team together in 2012
A pair of humble, respectful men.
Beterbiev puts on an act. Bivol will win again. 🙄
Dmitri 'it doesn't matter, i don't care' Bivol
Beterbiev is Kadyrov's buddy and fully supports the russian invasion of Ukraine. No respect for him
A pair fo boring monotone characters, boxing is not just about fighting it's about entertainment. And people want parker vs usyk too of the most boring personalities
@@JohnJoatan2 Controlled aggression, so admirable
The battle of the stoic men 😭
Nothing can touch them😂😂
ice in the veins
love this comment
IMO bivol is more intentional about being a stoic. Beterbiev is really just a normal dude lmao.
2 great humble guy
The sport of boxing is not dead and these guys are the proof! Just top tier
Yes, boxing always have that special place in sports
Yea this fight was the highest level of comp , for undisputed light-heavyweight world champion and it was so close the first time they gotta run it back. Hopefully this time around it gets more attention in the states it always frustrates me when a fight like this doesn’t get anywhere near the spotlight of some of these other fights that have way more hype for all the wrong reasons.
Bro the technicality that was this fight🔥🔥🔥
Only people that don't watch it say it's dead... if it were dead, canelo wouldn't generate the money he generates. He's one of the best paid athletes in the world. Usyk himself made over 100 million dollars in the Fury fights, Fury same, Anthony Joshua, Munguia makes millions as well, Ryan Garcia, Tank, Benavidez, as long as Mexicans exist boxing will live on. Mexico is the backbone of boxing with a population of 180 million Mexicans that support their fighters. That's why canelo is who he is. He has a whole country to support him. It's not a coincidence that out of the last 6 Cash Cows of boxing, 3 have been Mexicans: Mike Tyson, Chavez, Oscar De La Hoya, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo... and next in line for Mexico is Benavidez or Ryan Garcia... I'm not saying they're good or bad. I'm saying Mexicans are ready to throw the whole weight, support, and hopes of the country on the next Great Mexican Boxer because Canelo is on his way out...
Even if they were Gen Z fighters despite being born and raised millennials, they kept stoicism alive. Both are real men, even if one is traditional muslim and other one is traditional orthodox christian.
" there is no limit to be perfect "
I read this at the exact time he said it 🙏
@@reecemason8314same 😂😂 i swear i read this comment when he said it at the same time
For humans, of course
This is tougher for Beterbiev to do than the fighting itself. 😅😉
hahah this is so true the man just sees boxing as a job and not everyone likes their jobs
imagine him making the promo trailer with bivol
That’s definitely something a fanboy would say, Beterbiev, was outlanded in punches, power punches, overall punches.
😂yeah
@@JohnJoatan2come for rematch and stfu
Bivol needs to release an autobiography - his philosopy is very interesting
he’s got the personality of a broom stick
Yes. He read a lot of books. That's why he's a deep person. So is artur. He read the holy book Quran as his guidance. Made them a humble person. We can't hate each of this guy. They have same aura.
No bullshitting and no trashtalk, no threatening etc both humble and respect each other. This is the real Boxing. Its all about humbleness, respect and just Boxing..
Not like these young cats like shakur,Devin,Keyshawn they be all cap
That's why these two don't make that much money that's why they ain't rich rich before fighting each other. There is a reason fighter fake drama to promote fights. They olny do what the fans/hater reward.
@@corona2397those guys are clearly smarter than u judging by ur comment u don't realize how the business of boxing works. All fighters would rather never do face to face, presses or promotions and just fight.
There is a reason bivol and beterbiev haven't gotten the paydays these other guys are getting so far.
Ur basically saying young fighters are stupid because they know how to promote and make money?
I remember before Ryan Garcia and Haney people were clowning them for being inmature and unprofessional but then they ended up selling around 1m ppv 😂...
Can't believe people just sit there and watch and fall for everything fighters do 😂.
@@ShivneelSingh-f9jreal boxers doesn't trash talk. There been history great famous boxers doesn't trash talk. These two is bringing boxing like before. Boxing is the discipline sport.
@suryasmith5 ggg was unknown by the masses before canelo guys like Crawford and Spence before their fight made far less money than tank and Ryan do. Trash talk over a fighters career could equal to a few million to tens of millions of dollars or even more.
Big names who are loud get paid more than better fighters who are quiet.
And when a big name fights a unknown guy people consider that a cherry pick. Look at madrimov
People would have given Crawford more credit if he beat jermell charlo I'm sure. Madrimov is probably a better fighter but because he isn't a talker people didn't know him and forget his payday that even made people underestimate him.
Way to many benefits of trash talk to not do it. Muhammad Ali would never be known as the greatest if he was a quiet guy. He said it himself all this greatest talk was for promoting the fight and making money. Ali said he never believed that stuff it was for the audience
This is the first time I can't bring my self to hate any of the two fighters. Huge Respect for both of the supreme athletes.
Yup...as a artur fan....It's unjust to dislike bivol tbh
For sure! Found it hard for me to root for one of them, both fighters are warriors. I am here for the fierce competition.. and the vicious KO.
I swear this two er the most discipline and cold i have ever ever seen much respect to both
The passive aggressiveness from Bivol and the smug and confidence of Beterbiev is so perfect
Beterbiev is comfortable
@Randomhandlename bivol looks on edge
He wasn't passive aggressive, he was just trying to speak in a foreign language when he knows perfectly well he won the first fight but doesn't want to be a bad sport and complain about the judges scorecards.
Bivol congratulated beterbiev on his win
Bivol groupies are dreamers and putting words in his mouth
"Because I'm not a good boxer I need more rounds"
😂
Arrogant in silence
Not good [enough] within 12 rounds
This was the best fight I’ve seen. Not a moment I wasn’t on the edge of my seat. Two warriors.
These two men have to be double respected for giving the real boxing fans another great fight! Like I said before in first fight I will say it again, may the best man win!
Ok Lennox lol
Not 2, only artur he gave bivol the chnace and fans the fight again. Bivol would have never done ut
Yes and the 30M they'll be getting helps!
"May the best man win. Again." - Egis Klimas
Bivol. Can barely look at the replay. Beterbiev loving every minute 😂
Because he was robbed
@@NoBiasAllBoxingright 😂😂😂
@ of course he was 😂!!
@@Kukisan24 they saw how their guy got outworked for most of the entire fight and still have something to say, shameless behavior! 🤣
@@NoBiasAllBoxingHe lost 😂
I love both these fighters!!!they are the best of their time. Really respectful and both humble!
Regardless of who wins, I hope these 2 come to realize just how unique and remarkable their opponent is.
They both have such a great pure boxing rivalry and not a trash talk one. Feels like two goliaths fighting
They both believe in themselves. They don't have to try and scare the other.
Legends
Bivol ran tho
This is war. Don’t think bivol is sad or anything these guys are LOCKED IN. Trust.
Top comment
Exactly. They have a job to do and it’s not time to be friends
This was a chess match they were making sure they didn't give away secrets.
The calmness of these two is something else 🥶🩸
It’s strategy. Both needed to control their emotions and sidestep to host’s ridiculous questions in order not to reveal anything to their opponent
Bivol faced significant personal challenges leading up to their first fight while he was facing so much of emotional and mental abuse from his ex-wife, publicly supported Artur and disparaged him. just imagine the immense pressure he had to overcome yet he still delivered an exceptional performance. What a solid man he is , I think Bivol gets it done this time 🙏🏼
Didnt knew that...what a mental struggle he must of had. The first match he was my favorite and also now in the rematch. I hope he gets his revenge.
That entire situation would have sent me over if I were in his shoes. Fair play to him.
And one day i think a fly landed on his head and he couldn’t train the entry week. Come on guys stop with the excuses, bivol is not getting it done this time. Hes just the weaker fighter in terms of power and endurance, the technical edge is not going to help.
Arthur at 40 come knee surgery too. May the best man win
@@Dune44 that “technical edge” almost won him the first fight even had a judge score the fight as a draw. I mean it’s hilarious ppl think this was a walk in the park for artur he was getting countered so easily and really showed no defence skills in first fight
this matchup is one of my favorites of all time across the board
crazy how articulate Bivol can still come across with his limited but ever improving English .
Wow so deep bro
I don’t think it’s limited though
I love how bunceys accent changes depending on who he’s interviewing, legend of British boxing
He cracks me up its like hes talking to someone stupid
Still a 50/50 fight, Both unbelievably good. I had Beterbiev winning the first time but in the rematch it's still hard to call.
am afraid not, we are going to see a version of bivol we have never seen before and this might be the end for betervievs career, bivol is a patient, emotionless man and he always wanted belts but now he just want revenge and i think this side of him that will come out will be betervievs doom
Yeah, we are gonna see a Bivol flat on his back 😂
@@steaw433interesting perspective 👍🏼. If I had to give a prediction I’d say Bivol clear winner this time but doesn’t get either a knockdown or a ko. Brilliant athletes both of them, fascinating match-up given their opposing styles
@@steaw433might maybe perhaps 50 50 flip a coin
@@steaw433u are crazy
I agree with beterbiev about the rematch i also thought bivol would never give beterbiev the rematch
I don't agree with that at all. Bivol has been pretty vocal about his philosophy. Perfection!! And the first fight was far from perfect for him. I think they'd run it back
But also it's not up either of them😂...if the big man said jump, they'd both jump
Same💯
💯 Agree. Also something happened between them in past as Beterbiev says, "He [meaning Bivol] knows" just we will never know.
A running philosopher yea
@@angelosewanonda6124no u cant agree cuz u couldnt accept the reality😂
There is defo some beef between these 2 man
there is no beef just business bivol loves boxing and he just wants revenge beterviev sees boxing as a job and he is doing his job that is the difference
@@steaw433 i dont think autur likes dmitri to be honest
I still think Artur didn't knock him out on purpose.@@emmanuelnosike7007
They were on the same team when they were amateurs. Also, Dmitry said that he and Arthur sparred being amateurs. May be something happened then
@@emmanuelnosike7007 they dont need to like eachother but that dosent mean they have beef
Table got bigger this time😊
😂
The soviets don’t do trash talk they talk with there fists 🥊
Beterbiev said " I'm not good boxer, I need more rounds " hilarious so he can knock Bivol out. So humble so modest. I'm a fan .
This is what the word „sarcasm“ mean!!
Beterbiev is an instinctual fighter. He can't talk as much about the fight because he doesn't really think about them. He just does it.
Bivol is a thinking man - methodical, and deliberate in his craft. Bivol is better at interview like this because of that.
This two are one of the most respectful boxers i have seen
Beterbiev Said it was MY FIRST TIME 😢😢 TO LISTEN TO JUDGES TO GIVE SCORES. IMAGINE HOW GOOD AND STEONG BIVOL IS
Lol meanwhile Bivol thought all boxing matches were supposed to end listening to the judges' opinions
Let’s see if Bivol changes his mind after the second fight. He literally ran lol
@@Randomhandlenameyou are a professional hater😂😂😂. Literally replying to everyone. How pathetic
Big artur supporter here bivol is so down to earth, not a single word of negativity. Total respect
Damn these two make GGG answers seem like the most in depth ever.
Big drama show
Bivol contemplating life..
He beat him the first time clearly and rocked him a few times. 🙄
U trippin
Bivol got dog walked and was outlanded by Beterbiev by a round according to compubox with better shots that made Bivol give up fighting and run. Bivol is soft handed and mostly hit arms and got his face disfigured
No. He's about to kill this fool.
@@Randomhandlename Bivol landed more total punches. According to compubox. It takes 1 google search.
ah man i love my muslim brother artur, but it would make me ignorant to not love bivol i love bivol just as much he demonstrates every discipline of a true mans character and brings a vision and perspective that no man presents . learning alot of from these 2 guys for years that every word throws energy out to the world and every word is like a punch
Artur is watching the fight all the time, learning, calculating...
i think it's just mind games. he watched the fight already and already knows his mistakes and already got a done plan on how to beat bivol again.
Beterviev was trying to say more 3 rounds he could've win by KO
Yes definitely
Never seen both sides be so respectful and so humble . Amazing!
These guys talk like they fight lol. Very efficient with their words and always have their guard up. Respect to both these warriors.
They hate each other..... Ones can feel IT....
I don't think so. They definitely respect each other but that's it. Nothing more...The Americans we're used to seeing always make it a show. These guys just want to fight 😂
@@angelosewanonda6124yeah i see it the same way. it's just the focus, it's about who's the best. got nothing to do with hate, they respect each other but the focus is on wining not on making friends.
@@angelosewanonda6124 no beterbiev actually detests bivol. bivol ducked him for years.
well its a job to beat each other, no reason to respect or lovey dovey in the first place
Your just yapping mate
I cant believe these fighter sitting next to each other at a table
cold like ice
Elite mentalities, both of them. ELITE!!
Maybe they aren't friends, but it visible that they respect each other.
I really really dont undrestand why these two dislike each other so much ! they trained in Russian national team together and despite being rivals for years , never insulted each other .
Artur watching the fight: ☺😄
Bivol watching the fight: 😔😟
Bivol rather 😗🤨
Bivol groupies 😭😢
😂@@Randomhandlename
Artur saying Bivol would not rematch him is soo truee 😂
Bivol looking distantly, know that feeling
And I know damn well he's focused and charged up for a revenge.
May the best man win.
Can't wait for this fight, and also the undercards too! I got Beterbiev winning again, possibly by TKO. Either way it's going to be a great night of fights!
am afraid not bivols technicality is on another level he is a stoic man and am afraid of what his desires for revenge can cause for beterviev, yes a TKO but for beterviev
@@steaw433i have watched bivol before he was mainstream when he became champ. There is not really a lot he can change. If he opens up earlier, he might hurt artur but artur will hurt him too and that will drain bivols tank down the line. I don’t see bivol fighting any different. Artur can improve on going to the body and meeting bivol on lateral positions. I think if he goes to the body from early, the fight will be over inside 10
Beterbiev didn't win last time, he was awarded the win but everyone knows bivol was robbed ?
Bivol got dog walked and was outlanded by Beterbiev by a round according to compubox with better shots that made Bivol give up fighting and run. Bivol is soft handed and mostly hit arms and got his face disfigured
@@marcprobert1444 whos everyone bro 😂 u n ur bivols fangirls group😂
There is always a tense calm with these two.
I love that they didn't give the interviewer the handshake this time. They already gave it the first time so just 1 time is enough. Pretty sure they're cool with shaking hands off camera tho. I love both of them
Beterbiev seemed to have liked what he was watching 😂
Bivol groupies don’t lol
How cool is this two greatest boxers sitting across each other commenting on their past fight before their second fight.
I do like their no nonsense approach to everything
No frills here. Just pure talent. Can’t wait.
I did feel that Bivol won the first fight but it was very close
"The ships don't sink because of the water around them, but because of the water that gets into them."
- These two live by that rule.
Explain
2 gladiators !!⚔️🛡️🥊🥊
Beterbiev 👑
15 rounds haha
He lost he has a loser face he knows he lost
He doesn't like being called a king 😅
@@GeraltOfRivia-xp5lohe likes it. He just also likes to appear as if he doesn't like it.
The aura of these two men.
This are the 2 last Gentleman in Boxing! God bless both of them
Usyk is a gent
inoue and usyk are aswell. No beef, just boxing.
"There is no limit to be perfect"
Dmitry Bivol!
I like Beterbiev's style because it is so economical, does not waste energy - the best skill boxer can have
This looks like a Mafia meeting lol
Beterbiev is right, Bivol would not have given them the rematch if they won a close decision
based on what?
@Chilli_Tea yeah, i want to know what this assumption is based on as well. Must be some secret KGB file.
hed probably fight canelo
Exactly
@ I don't know, based on the fact that Beterbiev has been trying to get this fight for 6 years while Bivol never unified or worked towards Undisputed. To then get it in one close fight, he would not have risked running it back. Based on that
I dont know what happened with these guys as amateurs in the Russian team, but I've always sensed they dont like each other at all. They are real professionals, and Bivol especially tries to avoid making it personal.
Anyways, it will be a technical and even more interesting second fight.
It's just Artur has this "opponent is not my friend" cold approach, Bivol is more simple in that regard, but has to adapt, to not look weak.
This is boxing at its best. Two world class operators. Two humble and respectful men. Dont need to put on a act or anything, real men.
I don't know, man; Bivol seems more on point and wants it more.
he has more motivation and reasons (belts / revenge)
He won the first fight judges were wrong.
I reckon his team/coach will lock in the style to catch artur with a hard hook on the counter. They've analysed the first fight to know its possible
@@Sador_1nah bro I thought he won but he lost. He gave 200% whilst Beterbiev was still at 60%. Close fight but Beterbiev is just too strong
What? Run more?
@@Sador_1 bro r u dum or sum 😂
I cant believe they make both of them watch the match while interviewing both at the same time. It must be so awkward and for sure they have mixed feelings. But they go through it like professional. Hats off
Look at the face of Bivol, his cheek bone has re structured after this fight.
He may never walk and talk the same after the second fight
Bunce is the best at this stuff - light years better than the others imo. Beterbiev and Bivol are both great, humble elite athletes - no bs nonsense.
Oooh, a little stab from Artur at 10:30.
i think thats true
That's wild that they got them rewatching and dissecting the fight literally in front of each other. Top of the sport
Looks like Bivol bulked up a bit for the rematch. He made the right decision because Beterbiev looked bigger and stronger than him in the first fight.
😂😂😂😂
Beterbiew is stronger than all his opponents this will not change
@@zaini5150ukBeterbiev's real strength is shoddy judging.
yes bigger bivol bigger he will gas out that s not a good thing for bivol he hardly finished the first fight
He finished it dont know what your saying @alainboulingrin651
Watching these guys is a pleasure, what boxing should be about. Best face the best, no bs. Respect.
Watching these monsters fight is such a treat ❤
This man is a genius to interview and question while watching highlights so we can hear what to expect in saga 2
There are the most subtle digs from eachother lol 😂
Man there is something about these guys that makes them that just makes them my favorite athletes, the discipline and class these guys have is so admirable.
Stoic in full effect 🖤
The real boxer, the real legends in the same room 🥊
I think Bivol would have shaken hands but Beterbiev wasn't having it. lol
What’s cooler is this is the first time two fighters watch their fight together.
I love artur energy here 😭🔥
Its rare to see 2 people with same stoic nature fight.
when beterbiev said bivol wouldn't give him rematch if he won that day really got under bivol's skin, I think its due to him not giving canelo rematch.
I think they are taking this next fight even more serious than the first... if that is possible! 😂
Why will they not even shake hands with each other 😂 they must not get along very well
The way Bivol looked away i think he feels uncomfortable with Beterbiev's behavior. But it is extra fuel for the rematch
without moderator this would just be a staring contest
Man, what have I seen, such disciplined mindsets, so cold.
Bivol giving Steve life lessons 😅
He should give him track lessons
Bruh no shaking hands respectfully. This is lit 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Artur is wrecking this dude in the rematch.
I Luv beterbiev he cracks me up
Bros interview is more itense than some fights😂
Yes sir that's why they are the best of this generation
I scored the first Fight a draw. Thought beterbiev did well during the championship rounds. Maybe the scoring system in boxing needs to change so we get more consistent and accurate representation of the action.
12:10 damn beterbive shut it down quick 😂🥶
