Former world flyweight champion Dmitry Kirillov, who is now one of the coaches of the WBA Super light heavyweight title holder (up to 79.4 kg) Russian Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs), said in an interview “
SEabout what sets Bivol apart from his peers.
“He has some kind of natural flair,” Kirillov is sure. – The sense of distance is excellent, the control of the opponent. He never tenses, does not twitch, does not blink, does not fuss. He coolly does his job one hundred percent, completely imposes his work on his opponent. I believe that these are the properties of Dmitry’s psyche. Mind, control, self-esteem, composure – all this brings him victory.
Recall that on May 8 in Las Vegas (USA), Bivol outboxed the best fighter at that time, regardless of the weight of the Mexican Canelo Alvarez, winning by unanimous decision.
On the eve of Canelo, he remembered the rematch with Bivol ahead of the fight with Golovkin.
