MOSCOW, May 5, Andrey Simonenko. If Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol has overwhelming advantage over the Mexican Saul Alvarez in a fight in Las Vegas, then the political component should not affect the decision of the judges in the event of a full 12-round fight, according to former WBC world heavyweight champion Grigory Drozd. The fight for the WBA champion title Super light heavyweight title between Russian title holder Dmitry Bivol and Mexican Saul Alvarez will take place on the night of March 8 in Las Vegas (USA). the American side is very strongly opposed to Dmitry going out with the Russian flag, respectively, and there should be no anthem.It seems that this (political) component may influence the decision if the fight will develop by points. In this case, Dimitri must win every round unquestionably, so undeniably that no one has any doubts at all. It is necessary to declassify Alvarez and be the master in the ring, then the judges can give Dmitry the victory,» Drozd said. «In fact, not all experts completely believe only in Alvarez. Everything is clear enough: Alvarez does not like to box with those who can move around for all 12 rounds. It is convenient for him when he locks the opponent at the ropes and starts bombing him. Alvarez always had problems with mobile boxers. He does not like to miss, if he starts to do this, he can lose confidence, like any, in general, boxer,» the agency's interlocutor continued.
