阿图尔·贝特比耶夫击败德米特里·比沃尔获得无可争议的冠军 周六,在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的王国竞技场,阿图尔·贝特比耶夫以多数票战胜德米特里·比沃尔,夺得无可争议的轻重量级冠军。 阿图尔·贝特比耶夫以115-113、116-112和114-114的得分强势结束了俄罗斯拳击手的战斗,在一场最高技能水平的有趣战斗中获胜。 在期待已久的峰会上取得胜利后,阿图尔·贝特比耶夫成为拳击四腰带时代第一位无可争议的175磅冠军。比沃尔以轻重量级和4磅级的成绩进入了ESPN排名第一的比赛。阿图尔·贝特比耶夫在分区中排名第二,每磅排名第六。 “当然,这是一场艰难的战斗,因为德米特里也是冠军,”阿图尔·贝特比耶夫说。“他有很好的技能,也许比我好。但今天,真主选择了我。” 阿图尔·贝特比耶夫(21胜0负,20次击倒对手)作为拳击界唯一一位击倒对手率为100%的冠军参加了比赛,这一连胜在周六以他传奇职业生涯中最大的胜利结束。 阿图尔·贝特比耶夫将于1月迎来40岁生日,当时他正在接受膝盖手术,以修复破裂的半月板,这一手术将战斗从6月推迟。但他仍然能够在比赛的下半场团结起来,巩固自己作为名人堂战士的地位。 比沃尔(23胜1负,12次击倒对手)在上半场控制了比赛,尤其是在比赛初期,他施展了出色的刺拳和步法,将强击手挡在了门外。 比沃尔是一个更干净、更犀利的拳击手,在他吹嘘的强力一击中,他用左钩拳很好地反击了贝特比耶夫。但阿图尔·贝特比耶夫从未停止过来。即使他的拳头被挡住了——而且大部分都被挡住了,它们似乎仍然对比沃尔的高后卫产生了影响。 2022年5月,德米特里·比沃尔以职业生涯最好的成绩战胜了拳击界的顶级明星卡内罗·阿瓦雷兹,之后他以大战斗经验的优势进入了这场比赛。但正是阿图尔·贝特比耶夫在最后三轮中全票获胜。 “我做了我的工作,”33岁的比沃尔说。“我觉得我可以做得更好……他很强大,非常强大。 “你看,我的手上有一块瘀伤,”他说,把手举过眼睛。“他总是打败它,这太难了,甚至他还碰到了我的眼睛。” 德米特里·比沃尔的左眼严重挫伤和肿胀,右眼周围也有痕迹。 比沃尔说:“我知道我必须把每件事都做得完美,我没有任何解释,因为这看起来像是借口。”。“我只是祝贺阿图尔和他的团队。他值得拥有,没问题。我只是有时间为我的未来做出另一个决定。” 这场比赛显然需要重赛,许多观察家和球迷都为德米特里·比沃尔得分。考虑到比赛的戏剧性和缺乏明确的获胜者,需求也应该很大。 比沃尔表示,他“当然”希望再次尝试比沃尔:“为什么不呢?……如果我有这个机会,是的。这是我无可争议的梦想。” 但是,当阿图尔·贝特比耶夫将德米特里·比沃尔的WBA冠军与IBF、WBC和WBO冠军并列时,他实现了收集所有四条腰带的梦想。 阿图尔·贝特比耶夫说:“我今天想用更高的质量打拳击。”“我不知道为什么,但我不喜欢这场比赛。但总有一天我会好起来的……如果德米特里·比沃尔阁下想要[复赛],那么我们可以做到。” https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/41759539/artur-beterbiev-edges-dmitry-bivol-undisputed-crown 原文: Artur Beterbiev captured the undisputed light heavyweight championship with a majority decision victory over Dmitry Bivol on Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Beterbiev closed the battle of Russian boxers strongly and prevailed via scores of 115-113, 116-112 and 114-114 in an entertaining fight contested at the highest skill level. With the victory in the long-awaited summit meeting, Beterbiev became boxing's first undisputed 175-pound champion in the four-belt era. Bivol entered the bout rated No. 1 by ESPN at light heavyweight and No. 4 pound for pound. Beterbiev was No. 2 in the division and No. 6 pound for pound. "Of course it's a tough fight because Dmitri is a champion, too," Beterbiev said. "He has good skills, maybe better than me. But today, Allah chose me." Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) entered the bout as boxing's only champion with a 100% KO ratio, a streak that ended Saturday with the biggest victory of his storied career. Beterbiev turns 40 in January and was coming off knee surgery to repair a ruptured meniscus, a procedure that postponed the fight from June. But he was still able to rally over the second half of the bout to cement himself as a Hall of Fame fighter. Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) controlled the action over the first half, especially early on as he unleashed his excellent jab and footwork to keep the power-puncher at bay. Bivol was the cleaner, sharper puncher and did well to counter Beterbiev with a left hook over his vaunted power jab. But Beterbiev never stopped coming. Even when his punches were blocked -- and most of them were -- they seemed to still have an impact on Bivol's high guard.  Bivol entered the bout with the edge in big-fight experience following his career-best win over boxing's top star, Canelo Alvarez, in May 2022. But it was Beterbiev who swept the final three rounds unanimously to pull out the victory.  "I did my job," said Bivol, 33. "I felt that I could do better. ... He is powerful, very powerful.  "And you see I have a bruise from my hand," he said, holding his hand up by his eye. "He always beat it and it was so hard, even he reached my eye."  Bivol emerged with his left eye badly bruised and swollen, and also had marks around his right eye.  "I'm aware I have to do everything perfect and I don't have any explanation because it could look like excuses," Bivol said. "I just [give] congratulations to Artur and his team. He deserves it, no problem. I just have time to make another decision for my future."  The fight clearly called for a rematch, with many observers and fans scoring it for Bivol. There should be plenty of demand, too, considering the drama of the contest and the lack of a clear winner.  Bivol said he "of course" wants another shot at Bivol: "Why not? ... If I have this chance, yes. This is my dream to be undisputed."  But it was Beterbiev who achieved his dream of collecting all four belts when he added Bivol's WBA title to go along with the IBF, WBC and WBO titles.  "I wanted to box today with more quality," Beterbiev said. "I don't know why, but I didn't like this fight. But I'll be better one day. ... If His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] wants [the rematch], then we can do it." |
