He’s unsure if Bivol was drained or if he thought he had the win sealed up, so he wasn’t going to take any probabilities.
It’s nonetheless unclear if there can be a rematch as a result of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh would be the one who determines if he desires to see a second struggle. Robert thinks that Beterbiev can struggle the winner of the David Benavidez vs. David Morrell, and that may be a superb conflict.
It might be extra entertaining for the followers as a result of Benavidez and Morrell are extra offense-minded fighters. They’re not going to run round for 12 rounds like Bivol.
“In the event that they do a rematch, particularly if it’s in Vegas, if we see the identical struggle once more, this time, I believe it’ll go to Bivol,” stated coach Robert Garcia to Combat Hub TV, believing that Dmitry Bivol will defeat Artur Beterbiev within the rematch.

Bivol solely backed up Beterbiev for transient cases within the struggle, and he acquired damage when he did that within the seventh.
