Perfection Maintained - Dmitrii Bivol (Russia) vs Umar Salamov (Kyrgyzstan) | Boxing Highlights, HD

Описание: The main narrative revolved around the undefeated WBA light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (18-0, 11 KOs at the time) defending his title against the tall, powerful challenger Umar Salamov (26-1, 19 KOs).
Bivol's Perfection on the Line: Bivol entered the ring with a flawless professional record and seven successful title defenses, looking to close the year in style and potentially set up a major fight in 2022 (which would turn out to be Canelo Álvarez).
Salamov's Puncher's Chance: Salamov was seen as a dangerous, though not top-tier, contender who possessed significant knockout power (70.4% KO ratio) and physical advantages, including a 3.5-inch height and 4-inch reach advantage over Bivol. His only previous loss was a decision in 2017.
Domestic Showdown in Russia: The bout was a domestic affair held in Ekaterinburg, Russia, which added local intensity, with Bivol acknowledging his opponent was a "serious and fairly technical boxer".
A Stepping Stone for Bivol?: Boxing analysts considered Salamov a more dangerous opponent than Bivol's previous two challengers, with many wondering if Bivol's technical mastery would be enough to overcome the physical threat, or if he would be forced to go the distance as he often did.
