"It's easy advice" - Dmitry Bivol reacts to Mike Tyson's advice for Canelo Alvarez on how to beat him
Shortly after Canelo Alvarez's loss to Dmitry Bivol, Mike Tyson released a video discussing how 'Cinnamon' could win a rematch. He spoke about how Alvarez needs to use his jab more effectively to beat the WBA Light Heavyweight Champion.
According to 'The Baddest Man on the Planet', Canelo lost the fight because he let Bivol close the distance too easily. However, if he uses his jab, the Russian won't be able to close the distance effectively and Alvarez could control the fight a lot better. In a recent interview with Fighthype.com, Bivol shared his thoughts on the advice:
"No, I didn't see what Mike said to be honest. But jab, it's like you know, key for everything. If you use more jab it's not bad, it's only better every time. You know for me, for him, for everyone. The jab, it's easy advice, but it works every time."
The jab was one of the key punches that helped Bivol win against Alvarez. He used his height and reach advantage very well with the jab. He kept Canelo at bay and would not let him close the distance very easily. Whenever the Mexican did close the distance, he would display impenetrable defense and fire off with counters.
