Former world boxing champion Grigory Drozd believes that Mexican Saul Alvarez should have a rematch with Russian Dmitry Bivol.
On Sunday night in Abu Dhabi, Bivol defeated Ramirez by unanimous decision and defended the WBA (Super) belt. For the Russian, this victory was the 21st in 21 fights. Ramirez suffered the first defeat of his career. He has 44 wins to his credit.
– I consider myself to be in the category of boxers who value not zero in the defeat column, but the reputation and importance of the events in which they take part. Therefore, the fight with Dmitry Bivol is a meeting with the strongest light heavyweight champion. That is, the most significant battle in terms of status.
Defeat will not result in a loss of reputation. You need to box with the strongest and become stronger yourself. Therefore, is it necessary to box Saul? I think it’s necessary. My advice to Canelo Alvarez’s team is not to dwell on defeats or reputation. You need to make challenges to yourself, which boxing fans will appreciate, and it will be cool, – Metaratings.ru quotes Drozd.
In May, 31-year-old Bivol defeated fellow Mexican Saul Alvarez by unanimous decision to defend the title.
