Atlas predicted the winner of the Beterbiev-Bivol fight

Reputable American trainer Teddy Atlas believes that Dmitry Bivol will win Artur Beterbiev in the fight for the title of absolute world light heavyweight champion.

“I think Bivol will beat Betrebiev. I think Bivol controls the distance, counters well, and has a very solid defense. And the biggest reason why I’m giving Bivol a chance is that he’s also mentally tough.

You must be mentally tough. Forget about the physical aspects. You must have been good at physics, but your brain needs to be protected with titanium.

I don't mean that blows shouldn't hurt you. I'm talking about not letting the pressure drown you, melt you, or evaporate you. The Bivol has the spirit of a warrior. He simply uses different approaches compared to Beterbiev, uses different weapons, that’s all,” Atlas said.
