    Lederman and Jim Watt, the scoring dream team.

    Chilemba taking the initiative, backing Bivol up. Ring generalship!

    In the very early rnd I though Chilemba was going to rollover. Man was I wrong. He's been coming at Bivol all night.

    I think i got it! It´s Bivols footwork that is bothering me.
    For someone who moves so much, he sure has **** footwork.
    He covers distance really well but thats about it. It´s like a fast guy throwing random combos.

    He became predictable after 3-4 rounds, he hasn't changed a thing, Chilemba has made a few little adjustments and Bivol hasn't done anything different throughout.

    Bivol's early exteme confidence is gone. He doesn't like that Chilemba just stays in there and remains tricky to outbox. Effective movement by Chilemba in the 9th and outlanded Bivol. Definite Chilemba round.

    It's like he never sits down and sets up for punches, constantly on his toes even when he shouldn't be.

    Chilemba is only 31, but he looks older than Roy Jones.
