Garcia made a prediction for the Bivol vs. Beterbiev fight

Authoritative American trainer Robert Garcia believes that Dmitry Bivol will defeat Artur Beterbiev in a fight for the title of absolute world champion in the flyweight division.

"It's hard to predict here. But if I had to pick a winner, I would bet on Bivol winning by decision. I know Beterbiev has insane power, but Bivol has a great long-range style with close-ups and takedowns. He can try to box throughout the fight and win by decision.

I saw that in Beterbiev's last fight, he was getting a bit of a shot at him and it was bothering him. He doesn't like to miss. I think Bivol will take advantage of that and try to win by decision. If he tries to engage in exchanges and make it a war, he's going to be in trouble. I think he will fight competently during the fight and win by decision.

That's my opinion, but the fight could turn out completely differently. It could end with a one-punch knockout from Beterbiev, because he has power. But I think Bivol will win," Garcia said in an interview with YouTube channel Fight Hype.

Recall that the fight Beterbiev - Bivol will take place on June 1 in Riyadh.
