The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world believesthat the Mexican in the fight against the Russian used his jab too ineffectively Read us in News News Mike Tyson

Former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson said that the main reason for the defeat of Saul Alvarez from Russian Dmitry Bivol was the Mexican jab, which was poorly used in this fight. Tyson expressed this opinion on his Instagram (the owner of the social network, Meta, is recognized as an extremist organization in Russia and banned).

“I believe that if Alvarez had used his jab (a straight left punch for a right-handed boxer. - RBC) stronger and more efficiently, Bivol would not have been able to dominate. Bivol got close to Alvarez because he wasn't worried about his jab. The Russian began to act more aggressively and bravely. If there is no jab, then there is no defense. If in a rematch Alvarez becomes tough to meet Bivol, then it will be a completely different fight, ”said Tyson.
