Former world champion Sergio Mora believes Dmitry Bivol will defeat Artur Beterbiev in their upcoming bantamweight title fight.
"Whenever we have a fight with 50/50 odds where it's hard to pick a winner, I tend to lean toward the boxer with the better footwork. Bivol can box in the shuttle, move to the side, move away from the ropes and box from angles.
Beterbiev chooses his distance intelligently, his boxing intelligence is shadowed by his power, which makes him hit you everywhere. He needs that against Bivol. Beterbiev needs to spend the entire fight in the center of the ring, and he does that perfectly. Bivol will win by judge's decision on a slim," Mora told The Ring.
Recall that the bout Beterbiev vs. Bivol will take place on October 12 in Saudi Arabia.
