The Big Differences Between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol's Punch Mechanics

Sorry guys I had to trim this video based on Youtube copyright issues. It was getting blocked in all countries because of the clips I was using. I can't include any normal speed clips at all. I can only use the frame by frame clips.
Hopefully you get an idea about the differences in these guys' mechanics.
Bivol has a lot going for him however his mechanics are not as good as Artur's. The big difference in the fight was Artur's hard shots and controlling the center of the ring. Most of Bivol's punches only have the momentum of his upper body behind them. He's not generating power from the ground to creating torque and acceleration to power his punches. In the rare scenario when Bivol does use torque to land a hard shot he can change the dynamic of the fight. He can make Artur move backwards and control the ring. If he did this more I think he would have won a few more rounds and won the fight.
