Famous American coach Robert Garcia shared his thoughts on the upcoming unification light heavyweight fight between Artur Beterbiev And Dmitry Bivol, and also spoke about the potential fights of the Chechen Canadian against Saul Alvarez And David Benavidez.
“I saw minor shortcomings in Beterbiev, which I, as a coach, would have emphasized. I was thinking about his fight against Bivol. I consider Dmitry to be a smart fighter. He has a good coach. I think they noticed the same things. I believe they use them in a duel. I think Bivol will beat him.
Alvarez vs. Beterbiev is also an interesting fight. Perhaps Arthur is too strong in this division, but I think Canelo has a chance to beat him. Benavidez? David will beat him. He's also very strong and he needs to be smart because Beterbiev hits pretty damn hard. But he also misses a lot. I think these blows are bothering him. And this can be emphasized,” Garcia said in an interview with ES News.
Last weekend, Beterbiev successfully defended his WBC, WBO and IBF belts, knocking out Callum Smith in the seventh round.
