Boxing fans like Dmitry Bivol, but he now faces the dreaded mandatory challenger. They want to see a sequel with Canelo Alvarez or even Artur Beterbiev to unify the Light Heavyweight Division. Bivol will fight Gilberto Martinez Saturday night. It is hard to believe most do not know a lot about Martinez but that may just be for good reason.
Bivol feels confidence, bravado, and probably a little hesitation heading into this fight. The light heavyweight has won 20 fights with 11 victories coming by knockout. The key for Bivol is his boxing ability. His power and technique progress in each fight leading up to November 5th versus Martinez. By the way, just ask Canelo Alvarez about Bivol’s jab.
This fight expects to be fascinating because Bivol has eyes on the bigger prize, which is Beterbiev. Both Bivol and Ramirez are 31 years old. The question may be if this fight is too big of a jump for Ramirez. One thing has to be said. Ramirez can knock anyone out. That makes this bout worth the price of admission. Below are the light heavyweight boxing bets as Bivol looks to go 21-0.
The light heavyweight division is just masking the fact that the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol fight is “the” fight in the 175-pound class. The expectation is that Bivol finds a way to win this fight and set up one of the mega fights in the division. Several reasons point out the Russian as a solid, light heavyweight boxing bets favorite.
Now, this is the type of fight which could challenge Martinez. The dilemma is that Martinez is a fighter who can probably hurt Bivol a little. Let us be honest. the Mexican pugilist is no tomato can. The fighter knew several disciplines and was the WBO Super Middleweight (168 pounds) belt holder for three years. Again, Martinez has 30 knockouts in 44 fights. Also, he has five fights worth of experience in the 175-pound weight class.
Dmitry Bivol is truly ready to win this fight. That is just known at this point. Does Bivol go for the decision, or does the boxer try for the knockout or a TKO? Bivol fought seven straight times over the last four years and has won unanimously each time. His last TKO or KO was against Sullivan Barrera. The other feeling is that Bivol will land more punches on Gilberto Ramirez. Ramirez is less of a moving target, making Bivol’s life easier.
Gilberto Martinez has a great opportunity on Saturday night, but the Mexican fighter must be careful. It is not enough that fans do not even know that Martinez is undefeated at 44-0. The boxer has some considerable power with 30 knockouts. That includes his last five decisions. Oscar de la Hoya believes he has a fighter who can win the light heavyweight title on Saturday.
The rationale is that Martinez can throw power shots and body shots. He has more boxing experience in the ring and can maintain range well enough. That point is underrated. Now, the question is can Martinez square off a fighter the caliber of Bivol? This is something truly unknown, but many would be surprised if that happened. If Bivol can make Alvarez look silly, Martinez truly has an uphill battle.
For the light heavyweight boxing bets, Gilberto Ramirez and de la Hoya believe Ramirez can defeat Bivol Saturday. “Bivol is a great champion, but I was pretty good too.” Ramirez is not wrong. There are times when Martinez can be devastating. In his fight against Tommy Karpency, Ramirez broke his ribs 30 seconds into the fight. Then there was that demolition of Dominic Boesel in four rounds. Ramirez has a shot here.
Light Heavyweight boxing bets and props as the top online boxing odds are out, offering some nice choices thanks to BetUS. The good news is bettors can even wage on which rounds the fighters will win. What may intrigue bettors more is the usual decision or knockout props.
Again, this is the type of fight where Bivol wants to just wear down Martinez. The Mexican fighter has not gone more than ten rounds in almost four years (MD against Jesse Hart). Now, Bivol has gone 12 rounds in seven straight fights and can proficiently control a fight.
If one wants to hedge things a little, there is always the Gilberto Martinez by knockout option at +600. Martinez can do some damage to Bivol if the Russian is not careful. However, the expectation is that Bivol can fend off the relentless Top Rank fighter. A Bivol by decision prop seems to make more sense here.
The light heavyweight boxing bets say take Dmitry Bivol to defend his title on November 5th.
