00:09:1220 out of the Montreal Panthers.
00:09:15He is winning, defending, undistinguished, undistinguished.
00:09:22Let's go, Mike.
00:09:23Captain of the world,
00:09:26on a call for the Yankees.
00:09:39Excellent British referee, Kevin Parker, in his biggest fight.
00:10:00Just four months on, super speedy for a rematch at elite level that the world demanded
00:10:07and his excellency has delivered.
00:10:10Fascinating, breathtaking, brilliant exhibition of boxing class.
00:10:16First time around, one of the changes.
00:10:19New tactical assessments, power, ring IQ, defense, judgment and distance.
00:10:25Rematches sometimes go the same way.
00:10:27Occasionally, they're very, very different.
00:10:31Will Btebiev start faster this time?
00:10:34Will Bivel's body or will Bivel get into that lovely rhythm again?
00:10:38Ah, these are the questions that we can't wait to be answered.
00:10:42Will there be more aggression from Btebiev?
00:10:45Will there be more output from Bivel?
00:10:48They both strive for perfection.
00:10:50This is mouth altering.
00:10:53And it's always easy to say Btebiev needs to start faster, yet he leaves himself exposed to the counters air off of Bivel.
00:10:59And it's easy to say that Bivel needs to go the second phase of attack, like I've been saying.
00:11:03But within that, he's got to hold his feet and potentially get knocked out.
00:11:07So how do you adapt?
00:11:09You've got to adapt without also to win the fight, stay safe.
00:11:12All these factors come into play.
00:11:14A cacophony of noise, it really is fantastic here in Riyadh.
00:11:21A wonderful sort of cauldron of an atmosphere.
00:11:25Yeah, it really has come alive.
00:11:27And that lead hand of Bivel is effective early on, nice, crisp, sharp jabs.
00:11:33There's a nice body shot from Btebiev that got in, but there's Bivel with his lovely jab.
00:11:39I think it's important for Btebiev as well to double up that jab.
00:11:43That allows him to step closer and then he can let that right hook go and that left hook to the body.
00:11:47And try to slow the legs down early of Bivel.
00:11:53Bivel's jab is the key, isn't it, Darren? That's the key for everything.
00:11:56Yeah, and his feet.
00:11:57Got to be smart with the movement.
00:11:59Can't allow himself to get backed onto the ropes.
00:12:02He needs to work himself back to the centre of the ring.
00:12:05And equally, Btebiev needs to be sharp on his feet also.
00:12:09That's a jab from Bivel.
00:12:12Super feet he possesses.
00:12:14And that's what he does well with Bivel when he throws, oh good work, nice combination.
00:12:18But when he throws the jab and steps back with it, he waits for it to land first, then he takes the step away.
00:12:22Btebiev already trying to trap Bivel back on the ropes.
00:12:27Just needs to get that right foot across, Adam.
00:12:30That'll help him find that right hand.
00:12:32Btebiev.
00:12:33You see now, just take that right foot across.
00:12:38He could have pinned Bivel into that neutral corner.
00:12:41But good exit from Bivel.
00:12:44Nice boxing.
00:12:45He can throw the left hip there, can he?
00:12:47Squared himself back up again.
00:12:48And just what he did.
00:12:50Sweet boxing in the first round for Dmitri Bivel, who settled nicely, just like he did in October.
00:12:58The best Bivel's tactics are always just walk you down, make you work hard and just try to hit you anywhere.
00:13:08Oh, not far off at that right hand, but a lovely turn there from Bivel.
00:13:14Btebiev out of range and Bivel with a terrific opener.
00:13:19But a type of mentality wheels to drive trapping.
00:13:32Get a good boy?
00:13:34Yeah, do a good boy, I don't know.
00:13:38Very good brother, very good brother.
00:13:40Only the most thugs in the準備 of theражium.
00:13:43Yeah, so much of his players work touch.
00:13:46WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and the Ring Magazine light heavyweight titles on the line.
00:14:15Property at the moment of the 40-year-old Archer Betabev in with his arch-rival now, Dimitri Bivol, dance partners they've become.
00:14:29Yeah, they know each other really, really well.
00:14:32More intent now already from Betabev.
00:14:35Starting to look for that right hand.
00:14:37You see there, just catching Bivol, that left side of the head.
00:14:42Solid jab there from Betabev.
00:14:43He just got his foot, isn't he?
00:14:44Right in the centre of the stance there to Bivol.
00:14:46And that's the line and line him up for that right hand.
00:14:48Look how good that movement is from Bivol.
00:14:50The way he just spins off the rope straight back to the centre of the ring.
00:14:55He's fabulous on his feet, Dimitri Bivol.
00:14:58And he was for the first few rounds of their first fight.
00:15:02But Betabev came back at him down the stretch.
00:15:05Controversial.
00:15:08Some of us felt Bivol, some felt Betabev.
00:15:13Fine margins at this.
00:15:14Oh, absolutely.
00:15:16And that's why it's not controversial.
00:15:18It's a close fight that somebody won.
00:15:20Oh, good left turn from Bivol.
00:15:25And go again.
00:15:28It's important, isn't it?
00:15:29Yeah, this is what he was asking for from himself.
00:15:32Two free phases.
00:15:34Go again, go again.
00:15:36One's not enough.
00:15:37Yeah, lovely for Bivol with the jab.
00:15:44Slight marking already under the left eye of Betabev.
00:15:48That's a good jab though from Betabev.
00:15:52Again, you've got to double that left jab up.
00:15:54Betabev, that's going to give him the openings to work away.
00:15:56Get that right hand into play.
00:15:59Again, just keep an eye on the movement of Betabev.
00:16:01He needs to get that right foot across.
00:16:03Lovely right hand for Dimitri Bivol.
00:16:07But Betabev has the power.
00:16:12We know that.
00:16:14And he carries it late.
00:16:16Yeah, the patience, isn't he?
00:16:18Got the patience, the weight.
00:16:21Turn south for Bivol.
00:16:23Trying to confuse.
00:16:26Good rotation.
00:16:28Oh, good work.
00:16:31Sweet combinations.
00:16:34That change of direction, that's the key.
00:16:36Yeah.
00:16:36For Bivol.
00:16:37Body shots from Betabev.
00:16:40This is warming up very nicely.
00:16:45Just trying to cut the ring off there, Betabev.
00:16:49Not able to catch up with Bivol yet, but he's making Bivol work hard with the feet.
00:16:52Nice jab from Betabev.
00:16:58Nice jab from Betabev.
00:17:01It's a powerful jab where it lands.
00:17:03Oh, it's a rat rod.
00:17:04Stiff jab.
00:17:04Hurtful shot.
00:17:05He's making Bivol.
00:17:06He's making Bivol.
00:17:06Bivol.
00:17:07He's making Bivol.
00:17:07Go Bivol.
00:17:08Go Bivol.
00:17:09Go Bivol.
00:17:09Go Bivol.
00:17:10Go Bivol.
00:17:10That's good from Bivol there because Betabev has lined him up with the right hand.
00:17:13Smash and grab tight next year.
00:17:17And it's working.
00:17:18I think the highlight of this round was this lovely flurry I'm sure we're going to see from Bibel.
00:17:47He let about four or five shots go. He didn't load up. That was a beautiful count of right hand.
00:17:53But we are starting to see Beto Biem impose his strength, his physical power into this contest.
00:18:01But the movement, the lead hand had been very impressive.
00:18:04Bibel two up for the second round closer.
00:18:08Yeah, I would say so, but still managing the rounds well, Bibel.
00:18:13Round three.
00:18:17Twenty-second fight for Arter Beto Biem, who's been around since June 2013.
00:18:24Starts to target the body. There's an increase in pace here from Beto Biem.
00:18:29I think he's been woken up by his corner.
00:18:35Chris Mannix, yep, first two rounds to Dimitri Bibel. We agree with that.
00:18:41Again, he needs to bring that right foot across.
00:18:44Beto Biem. That's going to help him find the target for that right hand.
00:18:50And help him pin Bibel into the corner.
00:18:56Tram with that right hand. He's got to get that foot.
00:18:59He's got to get his front toe, but to the heel of the front foot at Bibel.
00:19:03That's where he's got to get that foot.
00:19:05And that's where he can punch with full target, through the target there with that right hand.
00:19:09Trying to double up the jab, Beto Biem, but still the combinations for Bibel are eye-catching.
00:19:15He's looking really sharp, switched on Bibel.
00:19:18He's getting closer though, isn't he?
00:19:20He's getting closer though, Beto Biem.
00:19:22He's looping right hands, he just grazed the target.
00:19:25It's fascinating, isn't it? The way Bibel's moving and Beto Biem is stalking.
00:19:32The hardest part for Bibel is not the movement, it's the concentration that he has to keep for every second of the round.
00:19:39That's not as tight as you.
00:19:48He needs to start stabbing that jab into the body of Bibel, Beto Biem, the right hand as well.
00:19:54Just missing with that right hand upstairs by a whisker.
00:19:59He does well there Bibel, doesn't he? Just dips a little bit lower to the left with that head.
00:20:03Just takes himself off the line.
00:20:05Good defence from Bibel, but Beto Biem getting closer.
00:20:08And he's opening up a bit as well, the challenger.
00:20:12And he sat down there, Beto Biem, when the counter-attacks came he made a miss.
00:20:16Not there though.
00:20:19What a tempo, high-octane in front of us.
00:20:23Beto Biem chasing Bibel, boxing beautifully at times.
00:20:28Well, he's winning the round again here Bibel, but it's always that anticipation that Beto Biem is going to land, isn't it?
00:20:35They both said they wanted to give more in this rematch and we're seeing it already.
00:20:42That was Beto Biem there.
00:20:44You asked for it, Darren, stab into the body.
00:20:48Good work.
00:20:50And again, the second phase we've all been talking about all week.
00:20:55Second phase is from Dimitri Bibel.
00:20:58I still think she's off the shot at Beto Biem.
00:21:01Thumping right hand from Arta Beto Biem, the body shot as well.
00:21:06This is the great end to the third round from Arta Beto Biem and Bibel comes back.
00:21:12Right hand from Bibel, tremendous action.
00:21:15The bell's going to come any second.
00:21:17Fabulous, wonderful.
00:21:19Everyone on their feet.
00:21:20We want more.
00:21:26Light the touch paper.
00:21:28And this will be lit on Saturday, April the 26th.
00:21:32Wow.
00:21:33Ring Magazine's first ever boxing card titled Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves,
00:21:39headlined by that crutch match between rivals Chris Eubank Jr.
00:21:43and Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
00:21:47And I'll tell you what, we have something going right now.
00:21:53How good was the end of that round, Barry?
00:21:55Those last 15 seconds, that did it for me.
00:21:57That's it.
00:21:58I'm going home.
00:21:59See you later.
00:22:00That was enough.
00:22:01Pocket those.
00:22:02Put it in a bottle and take it home as a memory.
00:22:05As good as Bibel's boxing, every time Beto Biem throws a shot,
00:22:07you're just going, oh, here it comes.
00:22:10Here it is.
00:22:11Second round.
00:22:13Round four.
00:22:18Already more intense than the first fight.
00:22:22And the action is red hot.
00:22:25Beto Biem wants to get right up close and personal with Dimitri Bibel and stop that rhythm.
00:22:32Right hands, body shots.
00:22:34This is good for Beto Biem, not allowing people to get into this rhythm early in this round.
00:22:38Straight on him.
00:22:39Yeah, and he's grabbed this round by the scruff of the neck early.
00:22:43Real intense pressure on the front foot.
00:22:46That right hand starting to find a home now.
00:22:49A lot taken on the gloves of Bibel.
00:22:52This brings Sean Porter in.
00:22:54He's just behind us.
00:22:55What are you thinking, Sean?
00:22:56What are you thinking, Sean?
00:23:06A couple of times.
00:23:07Can't afford to do that.
00:23:08Because you guys missed most of that.
00:23:10But Bibel took some chances in that last round.
00:23:13And he's got to be smarter when he takes chances.
00:23:16I told you guys, he's going to do something different.
00:23:18Take those chances and he might get caught.
00:23:20Sean, who thought Beto Biem would win by knockout at some stage.
00:23:24And he's certainly going for it.
00:23:26He's got 20 on the record and his 21 wins.
00:23:29This is a big, big puncher.
00:23:32Mythical almost puncher.
00:23:33But Sean's spot on there because, well, good work there for Beto Biem.
00:23:37When Bibel throws, I keep saying all week, he takes a little step, a little pivot to the left or the right.
00:23:41He can throw again from there.
00:23:43Throw it again straight down.
00:23:44It's always a bit of a risky game against the monster that is Beto Biem.
00:23:48Yeah, this pressure is damaging.
00:23:51We see what it's done to Bibel in the later rounds, the 10th, 11th, 12th.
00:23:57And this is more pressure early from Beto Biem in this contest.
00:24:02And I think Bibel has given more already in the first three rounds than he did last time.
00:24:07Body shot from Beto Biem and to the head.
00:24:13Injury free into this one, Beto Biem.
00:24:16And he looks really good tonight.
00:24:18Now he's gone into a groove.
00:24:20Yeah, he might have pulled the round back here.
00:24:22Better be Ev.
00:24:23And to this point anyway.
00:24:26Sharper with the feet.
00:24:27That delivery of the right hand.
00:24:30More speed, more accuracy.
00:24:32You see there, he's changing the levels with the shots, making it harder for Bibel to read.
00:24:37But those body shots, the body shots, the right hands over the top, just slowed his legs a little bit here.
00:24:46How good work.
00:24:47He had decent work from Bibel, but he's a bit flat-footed.
00:24:50Yeah.
00:24:51Well, you've got to get back.
00:24:53You've got to just regain a little bit of energy, haven't you?
00:24:56You've got to slow down at times.
00:24:58Good body work from Bibel.
00:25:03Oh, lovely.
00:25:05Oh, lovely.
00:25:06Nice jab.
00:25:07So well timed.
00:25:09Better be Ev.
00:25:11At the end of rounds, last time out, put a huge shift in.
00:25:16And in a game.
00:25:17Terrific.
00:25:28Who's it taken more out of?
00:25:30You two or them?
00:25:33Well, we're exhausted.
00:25:34We're only four rounds in, but this really is an intriguing, cracking contest already.
00:25:41So much more aggression in the last couple of rounds for better be Ev.
00:25:47Just want to see Bibel get back to the flurries and shots that we see.
00:25:51The two free phases of attack.
00:25:53Beautiful jab there.
00:25:55Then the roll up to the right hand from Bibel.
00:25:58But it was a good round for this man.
00:26:00But he had to work hard for it.
00:26:02And we're talking about better be Ev.
00:26:05But Bibel worked really hard.
00:26:07But better be Ev also is working hard to get the success that he had in that round.
00:26:16Into the fifth.
00:26:17Undisputed worldwide heavyweight titles on the line.
00:26:21It is the rematch that boxing was waiting for.
00:26:25And after better be Ev starting rounds quickly.
00:26:32This is how Chris Maddox has got it.
00:26:34Level.
00:26:35Level.
00:26:36Yeah.
00:26:37The third round was close.
00:26:38It was a hard one to split.
00:26:39So I can't disagree with that.
00:26:41I'm 3-1 for Bibel at the minute.
00:26:43But yeah, it's close enough to have it level.
00:26:47Always going to be tight again.
00:26:49Who's going to impose their authority.
00:26:52Clumping hard shots for better be Ev.
00:26:55This tempo is exactly what's required for better be Ev.
00:27:01At the beginning of the fight.
00:27:03Exactly that.
00:27:04Early.
00:27:05First half.
00:27:06Body shots.
00:27:07Wow.
00:27:08This is really good now.
00:27:09But like I said though, he's having to work hard for the success here at better be Ev.
00:27:13So maybe he might tire later on if it goes later on.
00:27:16Do you think he tires?
00:27:18If you have to work hard then what you're used to.
00:27:22Potentially.
00:27:23He's 40 years of age.
00:27:25But he's still in immaculate condition.
00:27:28But Dimitri Bibel has worked so hard for this moment.
00:27:32Seeking revenge.
00:27:34Taking himself back over the first fight time and again.
00:27:38This is what he needs to do Bibel.
00:27:39Just get himself to back.
00:27:41To centre ring.
00:27:42Just to stop the momentum of better be Ev.
00:27:48You've got to be careful if he doesn't wait too long to throw though.
00:27:50You can't be reckless.
00:27:51If you wait too long, better be Ev's going to take the initiative like he did just there.
00:27:58It's not flowing with his jab.
00:28:00Dimitri Bibel.
00:28:01Like he was in the first couple.
00:28:03Attempting it head and body.
00:28:05It's better be Ev comes than him though isn't it?
00:28:07Oh good work from better be Ev again.
00:28:14He's just grabbed hold of rounds better this time.
00:28:16Yeah he has yeah.
00:28:17And again it looks like there's nothing on those punches.
00:28:19But we know every shot from better be Ev.
00:28:21It's just so heavy.
00:28:24Oh.
00:28:25Good right hand.
00:28:26He took his head off the line didn't he Bibel.
00:28:28Lovely shot from Bibel.
00:28:33Jump to the body.
00:28:34Clever work in there from the pair of them.
00:28:37Elite athletes and fighters.
00:28:40Bibel with the body shots.
00:28:42They're swapping.
00:28:44Their minds ticking over.
00:28:46The next move.
00:28:48It just needs to drop some of those shots down to the body.
00:28:55Nice right hand for better be Ev.
00:28:58That's Bibel there.
00:29:00Back end of the fifth.
00:29:01Can he capitalize on that?
00:29:03Tries to wing it and left hook to the body.
00:29:05And the right hand just staggers Dimitri Bibel.
00:29:08And again better be Ev on top.
00:29:11At the end of the session.
00:29:13Bibel's going to hear the bell and get back to his corner.
00:29:17And he needs to.
00:29:18Better be Ev is turning this around.
00:29:20A lovely work here from better be Ev.
00:29:21Nice right hand on the top of the head there.
00:29:22Look at him a few inches.
00:29:23A few inches lower.
00:29:24He might be on his back side there better be Ev.
00:29:25At Bibel.
00:29:26But managing the rounds really well here better be Ev.
00:29:51He's stalking Bibble all the time, he's been more active with his hands than he was in the first fight, in these early stages, and every shot's had, and Bibble trying to fire back, see it there, some good work, there's better being of having the advantage, he's the one coming forward with the shots, more weight down his punches and calling the rounds back, and it's a really, really interesting fight here.
00:30:11Every bit as good as the first, absolutely brilliant, 10th defense of Artur Betabev's IBF belt, 7th defense of his WBC and the 3rd of his WBO, just the first of the WBA that he took from Dmitry Bibble last time out, right hand from Betabev, start of the 6th.
00:30:36I just want to see some work behind that lead hand of Bibble, that would have set up the flurries that we need to see from Bibble, the 2s and 3s and go again, move back to center of ring.
00:30:53As you say Barry here, this is where we need to see Bibble work.
00:30:57See the stats there, 76 punches thrown by Betabev, real aggression, real work rate, great plan from the corner team.
00:31:06And he's not always that busy, because he doesn't have to be, because fighters don't usually throw back, because they're always wary of what's coming.
00:31:22A bit of a mistake from Betabev and Bibble made him pay, they had nothing on the shot, but they all score.
00:31:29He's still got that speed Bibble.
00:31:33A friend of mine was in the gym today and he see Betabev on the treadmill, and what did he have in front of him?
00:31:39It was a phone showing the first fight, studying his performance.
00:31:44I think they both have, from the moment the final battle went.
00:31:52They knew they were going to fight again, Bibble, Bibble, shout the crowd, a great atmosphere and he responds as well with a great combination there.
00:32:02Betabev just shakes it off and comes back at him.
00:32:05Oh, a good shot there from Betabev, strong right hand through the guard there to Bibble.
00:32:09See with the right foot done there, just stopped Bibble, moving to his left hand side.
00:32:14Yeah, he's stepping over like you asked for there Darren.
00:32:23He's not giving him a second rest, is he?
00:32:25No, he's not.
00:32:26And these shots, the ones that hit him in the arms, the shoulders, they really take their top down for stretch Adam.
00:32:33Got the head back there, good response up on Bibble.
00:32:35Great response from Bibble, terrific action here in the sixth round in real.
00:32:41Bit of a swelling on the left eye I think as well at Betabev.
00:32:44Betabev's got a nasty mark on the left eye, Bibble a little bit on the left eye as well.
00:32:51Damage in there.
00:32:55Needs to be quicker with that jab, Bibble can't afford to pour that lead hand out.
00:32:59Oh, lovely for Dimitri Bibble.
00:33:07But when it gets rough, here comes Betabev, trying to trap Bibble in the neutral corner.
00:33:14They both threw right hands, but Bibble looped his and Betabev went right down the track and landed with a lovely shot.
00:33:29They're working on his legs in the corner already, Dimitri Bibble.
00:33:46They're working on his legs in the corner already, Dimitri Bibble.
00:33:48Yeah, he's still going to need those. There is Ally here in this fight.
00:33:52Lovely right hand, almost at the southpaw stance from Betabev.
00:33:57Again, really imposing himself into this fight.
00:34:01There has been some lovely crisp, sharp counters from Bibble.
00:34:05That he's being made to work for every second of every round.
00:34:10And as you say, Adam, really getting to work on those legs in the corner.
00:34:16Anthony Joshua watching on at ringside.
00:34:18Terence Crawford, Nassim Hamad just behind us.
00:34:22Oleksandr Usyk, boxing royalty, crowded around ringside to watch this.
00:34:27The rematch, second half. Betabev and Bibble, how have you got it?
00:34:32Chris Mannix has Betabev two up. Barry?
00:34:37Yeah, I've got a level there, but I can understand why he has two.
00:34:40I think the fight's flown in the favour of Betabev for sure.
00:34:47Oh, a lovely jab at the variation as well.
00:34:49Head, body, keeping Bibble thinking.
00:34:57Let's ask Sean, how are you seeing it?
00:35:00Listen, I've got a 4-2 Betabev. He's doing exactly what he's supposed to do.
00:35:05And guess what? He's showing us how to do it.
00:35:07This is active, intelligent aggression.
00:35:11He's moving in behind his hands and he's hitting.
00:35:14He's going up and down. He's in Bibble everywhere.
00:35:17He's winning the fight. Much better start for him this fight.
00:35:20Much better start. Remember Bibble had a handy lead last time out.
00:35:24And Betabev came on down the stretch.
00:35:28These moments where Bibble is managing to hold the centre of the ring,
00:35:34it's so important that he gets his shots off. It really is.
00:35:38Because these moments here, as well as he's counter-punching on the back foot,
00:35:43it's really the movement and the aggression from Betabev that is leaving it smart,
00:35:49I believe, of the judge's scorecard here.
00:35:54Just, there's just no room to get out of the way as he at all.
00:35:58He's on him all the time, that front foot just suffocating all that space.
00:36:02He never leaves him alone.
00:36:05And in the first fight, he was doing a lot in the last 30 seconds of rounds,
00:36:08but this time he's doing it from the opening bell of rounds.
00:36:12And it'd be interesting how that affects him down the stretch.
00:36:15Would he still have the energy to carry on like he did so well in the first fight?
00:36:18But all, would the punishment that he's given on Bibble tire Bibble even more?
00:36:25Bibble trying to get his jab back working.
00:36:28He boxed so well in the first couple of rounds, he was getting in a rhythm,
00:36:33but it changed in the third, fourth.
00:36:34Yeah, and he's punching here now Bibble waiting for something to come back,
00:36:38so he's not punching the same authority that he was in those first two, two and a half rounds.
00:36:48Yeah, there's less flurries from Bibble, just like to see him just counter that jab with Betabev.
00:36:55That's good head movement there though from Betabev.
00:36:59He's got so much speed and accuracy in that right hand of his Bibble.
00:37:07He's got to start looking to counter the jab of Betabev.
00:37:13Good from Bibble, right hand there.
00:37:16Excellent work, up and down, right at the end of the round, does he nick that?
00:37:20An all-British showdown, April the 5th between Dillian White and Joe Joyce.
00:37:32The body snatcher and the juggernaut kicks off an exciting schedule from Queensry Promotions,
00:37:38which will now be broadcast exclusively on DAZN, your global home of boxing.
00:37:45And talking about being global, here we are in Saudi Arabia, the last crescendo.
00:37:52What an amazing night it's been.
00:37:54On paper, it's delivered in reality, and now they've saved the best for last.
00:37:59This is flying by.
00:38:00Oh, it really is.
00:38:02And that's when you know you're witnessing greatness.
00:38:06And this certainly is a great fight.
00:38:07Second round.
00:38:18Eighth round.
00:38:19Dimitri Bibble in the silver and black had his big win over Canelo
00:38:25and thought he should have had his career-defining one in October against Arta Betabev.
00:38:34But back he goes again, seeking revenge.
00:38:37Had a great start to the rematch.
00:38:39But the man from both Russia and Montreal has come right back at him.
00:38:46But Bibble's still got speed and class.
00:38:49Yeah, that was a lovely three-punch combination on the back foot,
00:38:51using the momentum of Betabev to generate the power.
00:38:56He's so clever, Bibble, at times, isn't he?
00:38:59Oh, he is.
00:38:59And also, to see the captain and commit to it,
00:39:02and then the last few rounds, he hasn't done that, wearing the throw.
00:39:06But no, that was really good starting.
00:39:07If he can maintain that, he might call a round back.
00:39:10And to be honest, he needs to thwart the attack here.
00:39:13The momentum here of Betabev, he needs to get a round or two back in the back.
00:39:19Yeah, correct.
00:39:22Boxing there from Bibble, working from the center of the ring.
00:39:26Nice long shots, double jab, right hand.
00:39:28This is good, really good for Dimitri Bibble.
00:39:32They just get through there, feet are moving nicer.
00:39:36They've been warmed up in the corner.
00:39:39They're massaging his legs and his arms in between rounds, Dimitri Bibble.
00:39:43And you mentioned yourself, such an intelligent fighter.
00:39:46He'll know that he's up, he's got to up the work rate.
00:39:51Get back into this contest.
00:39:54And he has to be so easy said and done.
00:39:56You know, if you make a mistake, what's coming at you?
00:39:59The monster in front of you in Betabev.
00:40:01So you've got to make sure it's perfect, make sure you land
00:40:03and make sure you get an escape route as quick as you can.
00:40:05Much better round for Dimitri Bibble.
00:40:09Good defense, lovely combinations, crisp work.
00:40:14He's found his rhythm again.
00:40:17Ebbs and flows.
00:40:19A seesaw battle here in Riyadh.
00:40:21He's in there, just in there a minute to go.
00:40:23He can't switch off here.
00:40:25Better be able to look at the finish strong.
00:40:27He left hook.
00:40:32Neat and tidy and sweet boxing for Dimitri Bibble.
00:40:37Makes it slow down a little bit though.
00:40:41Better be able to step at him if he can.
00:40:43I guess I think better be able to dip to the jab and then throws the right hand over the top.
00:40:52There's the jab and the right hand to follow.
00:40:55Yeah, because you do get a reaction, don't you, from Bibble.
00:40:58When he throws that jab to the body, the hands do drop.
00:41:01That right hand is, as you say, Barry, there for better be able to.
00:41:05A nice fast flurry of shots to the body.
00:41:08And then they go again, exchanging lever.
00:41:11Better be able to hunt him for Bibble's best round in a while.
00:41:17Very good there from the challenger.
00:41:19That's a beautiful jab.
00:41:28Come alive again there, didn't he, Bibble?
00:41:30They worked for magic with his legs.
00:41:34Starting to move, more flurries coming from Bibble.
00:41:53What we were seeing in the first couple of rounds.
00:41:57Can he sustain this now?
00:41:59It really takes a lot of energy and effort to keep these flurries going.
00:42:04You can see the marking on the face of Beto BF.
00:42:13I'm just gathering a bit of opinion around ringside.
00:42:155-3 to Beto BF.
00:42:18A couple of people have got it level.
00:42:20It's that sort of fight, it's close to gain.
00:42:23It's all there to be won or lost.
00:42:28Four rounds to go, undisputed, light heavyweight titles on the line.
00:42:33Bibble had a great round and starts this one strongly.
00:42:36Big Mike's hands.
00:42:40All level on Chris's card and the last two have gone to Bibble.
00:42:45So we see the way the fight has moved.
00:42:52Shout boxing here from Bibble.
00:42:55Yeah, he's really using the momentum of Beto BF.
00:42:59Coming forward well, using it in his favour, walking.
00:43:06I think it's so intense that either one has to take a half a round off or a round off at times.
00:43:12I don't think physically, I think the concentration.
00:43:14They have to almost like, I've got to reset here.
00:43:18Referee Kevin Parker has just watched as we have in amazement at what these two can do.
00:43:24Yeah, he hasn't had to get involved at all, has he?
00:43:31And then that right hand go there, Beto BF.
00:43:33He's doing what Bibble was doing a few rounds ago, just waiting a little bit too long.
00:43:38A little bit too tentative than his hands go.
00:43:41Yeah, the output hasn't been the same for Beto BF.
00:43:45Lovely roll, it spins back to center ring.
00:43:48Fires back with four shots, beautiful work from Bibble.
00:43:51Fabulous, flashy, eye-catching quality for Dimitri Bibble,
00:43:57who spun this rematch on his head again.
00:44:01And that's the cycle, isn't it?
00:44:02You see a fighter taking the rest, you go harder.
00:44:05You take advantage of that.
00:44:07Capitalise on their little lulling energy.
00:44:13The highest class of boxing chess it really is.
00:44:17But it's been intense, it's been more, more action I think this time.
00:44:22Yeah, and if you were to ask me now who I feel the fresher of the two is, it's Bibble for me.
00:44:27Yeah, and a round and a half ago he was in the other way.
00:44:30Yeah.
00:44:31Oh, lovely work, sharp cutters there from Bibble.
00:44:34And again, again we're talking about the second, third, fourth phase here.
00:44:37Brilliant boxing from Dimitri Bibble, lightning fast.
00:44:44And Batemiev wants him, but Bibble's just in and out.
00:44:49Where's he found the energy from?
00:44:51It is tremendous.
00:44:52He's come back really, really well in these last two, three rounds.
00:44:57It's that Rome 9 second win, isn't it?
00:45:01Bibble, Bibble around the arena here in Riyadh.
00:45:07Good defence again.
00:45:10Oh, the body shot.
00:45:12One body shot from Bette BF, but it's not going to win in the round.
00:45:36You can't take your eyes off it.
00:45:40He boxed so well, Adam, in that round.
00:45:43He really did.
00:45:43He needed it as well.
00:45:44He had a good round of the round before, but again, as Darren was saying, very important to keep that momentum going.
00:45:49And he did that.
00:45:51And even though in the end of the round, Bibble tried to close the show a little bit more.
00:45:54He pushed the pace in the hand, it's a good shot.
00:45:57Bibble's move when they're on the target.
00:45:59The spinning round where Bette BF was trying to get him on the ropes was absolutely fantastic.
00:46:03At one point, you did one, two, three, four phases.
00:46:06And look at this, every time now they're doing that in between rounds to get the arms and legs flowing.
00:46:15Dimitri Bibble, who's had such a captivating career.
00:46:21So too, Arta, Bette BF.
00:46:24So close to it, isn't it?
00:46:25Nice.
00:46:25They can do this time in the game.
00:46:27Yeah, they're so evenly matched.
00:46:31Talking teased when it comes to styles, but you know, these can fight 10 times and they'll all be like this.
00:46:37Sometimes you just find the perfect dance pattern, don't you?
00:46:40Chris Maddox has got Bibble one up.
00:46:42Same here.
00:46:43I tend to agree.
00:46:44Yeah.
00:46:44And if Bibble gets this, there'll be a trilogy.
00:46:47But you couldn't argue if it was the other way.
00:46:50I'll tell you that much.
00:46:52No.
00:46:54Bette BF had many of those rounds, didn't he?
00:46:57Where that aggression was really working and Bibble just switched off a bit and the legs went.
00:47:03Don't get me wrong, look.
00:47:05Arta Viterbie is superhuman, but he is 40 years old.
00:47:09How hard must it be to keep this kind of pressure up, the training camps,
00:47:18to get in this condition time and time again?
00:47:21Ask Anthony Yard, Callum Smith, those who have been in there with him.
00:47:24Oh, Bibble, Bibble even.
00:47:28But it's not, and that must be for him because every person he's faced except for this guy,
00:47:32every time they hit him, they react in the way that he wants them to, but this Bibble doesn't react that same way.
00:47:38Bibble just hasn't had that same quality of Bette BF.
00:47:44That movement is on point, that is perfection.
00:47:48The way he just span off the ropes there, Bibble, back to the center of the ring.
00:47:52There's that right hand though from Bette BF, he needs to throw that more often to head, body.
00:48:00Yeah, Darren, he needs body shots to slow Bibble down and he's running out of rounds.
00:48:04Yeah, and I think it's the straight right to the body.
00:48:09Oh, lovely, really good, clever work.
00:48:11Again, up and down with the punches, how to defend against.
00:48:16Dazzling from Dimitri Bibble.
00:48:18Eddie Hearn, big smile on his face, watching his charge perform even better, maybe than the first time.
00:48:25Well, incredible.
00:48:26As we pointed out here, rounds four, five, six, perhaps seven.
00:48:30They were really good rounds for Bette BF.
00:48:33And you felt Bibble might be fading, but he has come back so well.
00:48:43Nice.
00:48:49He's just not throwing that right hand, is he, Bette BF?
00:48:51No, he's not.
00:48:51Again, he's getting his finger in the right place.
00:48:54If he just dips his legs and throws that right hand, there's a tiger to be hit there.
00:48:59Nice jab from Bibble, again.
00:49:01That's a good jab though from Bette BF.
00:49:04But again, it's single jabs, Barry.
00:49:07And he's not taking, when Bibble's taking a rest here, Bette BF should be taking advantage of that.
00:49:15And Bibble comes on strong, over the 10th round.
00:49:19And Bette BF has got work to do here in the last six minutes.
00:49:24And Bette BF in the last eight minutes.
00:49:41All right, I mean, it really is a spectacular encounter again, between these two.
00:49:48these two but you have to commend the way he's come back people they've been good rounds as we
00:49:55say for better bff he's using the momentum of better bm so well he's using it in his favor
00:50:02we need to see as we mentioned that right hand throw more often from better bm
00:50:09not bad this is it hey not bad at all i don't want it to end i just don't want it to stop this whole
00:50:20night has been absolutely fantastic if it's going the way we think it is we might see this again
00:50:28but it's a better bm's special fighter also so you can turn this on his head into the 11th round that
00:50:36power's still there for better beer but bivel boxing really well last few sessions and he's got
00:50:42a lead now on chris's unofficial card and i think you two agree with that yeah i do indeed a lot of
00:50:48subtle work coming from bimble here he's walking better bm watch a lovely shot the jab on point so
00:50:58sharp accurate and look at that a second ago better bm launches a big right hand does nothing and then
00:51:03then bill will go bam bam straight away pays it back three judges at ringside john robert
00:51:11mike fitzgerald and dion duarte plus there's the ai judge as well
00:51:19will we have a split controversy oh he's got his feet in the right position there didn't he
00:51:26better be able to unload he's got to commit to his attacks now yeah i do i think
00:51:31big straight shots to the body first they can go upstairs for better bm get that right foot across
00:51:41he's not being allowed to do this because it's just been tight and his combinations will be good
00:51:48do you know you saw him taking that right foot over for better bm he does that but when he squares up
00:51:53people frozen up because every time or he throws his own right hand and catches it okay there's no
00:51:58there's no laws on it but it's enough to stop from working this is a really great performance from
00:52:04dimitri bivel tonight really good work again you helped him out there better be overreached a little bit
00:52:14better be over the back foot you didn't think you'd say that dimitri bivel sent a ring
00:52:26oh it's a change from the first fight you know they've completely flipped it
00:52:31bivel has paced himself great start and a great last few rounds better behave in the middle
00:52:42it's bivel drawing away now getting clear that's good you need to keep doing that bivel we better be able to jump
00:52:53running though look at eddie herb the reaction
00:52:58cheering bad what a great work for bivel
00:53:02just the speed the speed action at the end of the enable right hand for a bivel
00:53:07bivel what a titanic effort this is dimitri bivel is covering himself in glory tonight
00:53:19he really is eddie earn is a believer definitely i felt bivel won the first fight just this time i think he's
00:53:31pulling clear
00:53:51so
00:54:01Dimitri Bibel, up on his feet, final round of the final fight of a fabulous night here in Riyadh.
00:54:21The last crescendo has exceeded expectations and this rematch has been of top quality.
00:54:30Dimitri Bibel, we believe, in front after Bete Biev, Chris Vanek's unofficial card there, maybe he's got a round to pull this out of the bag, guys.
00:54:41Yeah, I agree with that scorecard and the advice in the corner in Bete Biev's was you need this round, well he needs to finish this contest in this round, he needs a knockout.
00:54:54Oh, just brilliant. That last round from Bibel was just a great example of the box on the move, just beautiful to watch.
00:55:03He's gone back to the drawing board, he's licked his wounds Dimitri Bibel and he's come back even better.
00:55:10Boxing tonight has been at times just utterly astounding.
00:55:15I don't think he's done so much different, all I think he's done is be more active, he's done the more phases, he's gone and he's gone again.
00:55:22And that takes bravery against someone like Bete Biev.
00:55:24He's done more.
00:55:25He's done more, yes.
00:55:26And he had to weather, let's not forget, he had to weather an early onslaught from Artur Bete Biev.
00:55:33I mean, to be able to absorb the power of the better Biev.
00:55:39That's unbelievable.
00:55:40Yeah, when you see what he's done.
00:55:42Oh, it's a really good fighter.
00:55:44Exactly.
00:55:45Bete Biev has won rounds.
00:55:47Aggression very good at times.
00:55:50Dimitri Bibel has started well and finished well.
00:55:54What are the judges going to see and will we get a trilogy?
00:55:59They get a point in this round in here.
00:56:01It's going to be too late for Bete Biev.
00:56:03I think now is the time.
00:56:05He's just got to go for it.
00:56:07Empty that tank, whatever you want to call it.
00:56:09This is his last moment here.
00:56:13Nice jab to the body, then right hand upstairs.
00:56:16Oh, just missing a bit of right hand, Bete Biev.
00:56:19Great shot.
00:56:21Under a minute to go.
00:56:23Oh, there's a cut for the left hand.
00:56:25There's a cut for him all.
00:56:26Can Bete Biev score something?
00:56:27A knockdown, even a knockout.
00:56:30He needs one Adam.
00:56:32Seconds are running away from Artur Bete Biev.
00:56:35Will he lose his unbeaten record at the end of this round?
00:56:39He's trying so hard.
00:56:41Two gladiators.
00:56:43Incredible, unbelievable commitment.
00:56:46Look at this for Bete Biev.
00:56:48He might be 14 plus years of age, but look at this energy here.
00:56:52Blood streaming down the face of Bibble.
00:56:55Oh, let's go.
00:56:57A 6 and 8 rematch.
00:57:01His Excellency, please run it again.
00:57:05We will see this again Adam.
00:57:07But Dimitri Bibble surely deserves to become the undisputed light heavyweight champion and seal his place in history.
00:57:16Brilliant, fantastic, terrific, wonderful respect.
00:57:2124 rounds done.
00:57:23Please give it to Bibble.
00:57:25What a fight, Bibble Victor.
00:57:27Yeah, brilliant fight.
00:57:29For me, Bibble.
00:57:31Dimitri Bibble for us.
00:57:33We'll find out surely.
00:57:59Referee didn't.
00:58:00That's the test of the show with a brilliant fight.
00:58:25We have a unification fight coming up as well.
00:58:28And a worldор

00:58:47I'm just about getting my breath back.
00:58:48from that one.
00:58:49That one.
00:58:50I felt like i was in there for a couple of rounds.
00:58:53That one was to get everyone excited.
00:58:54Everyone was excited they needed to do.
00:58:55To get the reaction.
00:58:56I was excited.
00:58:57To agree that he got back
00:59:03Men make that warriors made tonight unbelievable
00:59:12Like we wanted him to keep up whether the small storm in the middle rounds and it came on strong
00:59:17I mean
00:59:27Before I thought maybe this is a bit too much people. Yeah, but the terrible fire is so far
00:59:32I'll get people needs to make adjustments and it was a small pivot to the side
00:59:37himself face and back
00:59:51You and draw
00:59:57Then obviously
00:59:59Keeps his belts
