    But I don't think you can make a case for Beterbiev winning 116-112 Bivol did not lose that many rounds..

    DAZN commentary gave Bivol 10. That was ridiculous, clearly Beterbiev round. But as I said, I felt it was a draw overall.

    The problem with the decision is the 8-4 card, I think Bivol won but a draw like the one judge had would be acceptable.

    Beterbiev inspires a lot of hero worship, plenty on this forum simply chose not to see Beterbiev trudging haplessly after Bivol while getting lit up for long periods.

    Close fight, but its quite difficult to find a Beterbiev win.

    Eddie Hearn embarrassing himself on live TV calling a robbery. Used car salesman who has pretty much run out of motors.

    They should have made this years ago.

    Artur is still elite, elite at 40 and with a shot knee.

    All his movement was lateral. There was no running. He was throwing combinations several times and putting himself at risk. It's called boxing.

    I think it depends on what you like - Artur's relentless aggression (even though it might not be scoring clean) making Bivol cede centre of the ring more than in any other fight, or Bivols slick skills and cleaner work, making Artur miss a LOT, and landing a lot of great counters.

    I think if Dmitry watches it back I think he will regret his lack of activity in round 11 especially

    Anyone see Bunce blasting that dork from the stomping ground telling him to get out of the shot

    Oh, absolutely. It was an objectively good and enjoyable match regardless of outcome.

    Beterbiev certainly did.

    How much of that can be attributed to rust, age/injury, Bivol or some combination thereof (my guess) is the question at the moment.
