    To be honest after reflecting on this flight after a couple of minutes:
    Bivol boxing good but went to much backwards. Beterbiev looked old but his power and experience helped him
    Either way I think a draw was fair.
    Also I think there is too much focus on the scorecard. In the end it was a majority decision for the fighter pressing and being agressive.

    I thought it would be more lopsided, but Beterbiev didn't look as good as I thought he would. I'm a bit buzzed and enjoying the moment. Don't come come at me like that. I like you and don't want to start a flame war here. Beterbiev still won at least 8 rounds on my card. It was competitive but clear. Bivol was too negative to separate himself.

    Pretty much. Could be as wide as 8-4 Bivol. Bivol caught everything on the gloves. Give the man a bigger ring next time. That looked as small as they come

    First fight in years where I didn't cheer for either man.

    I'm a fan of both...and that felt a little strange watching the fight.

    Could have gone either way.

    Repeat with me... "FOURTY year old"

    Even a stupid blind man would suspect peds here.

    SCAT6 is already available.

    We need to be judging fights on what really matters.

    Beterbievs corner told him he needs a KO at the end of round 10, that MUST mean he was losing. What is this coming to. Suddenly we know the score because of urgent corner advice???

    I knew beterbiev had won even before they announced it, you could see Eddie Hearn in the background throwing a strop

    I had it 7-5 Bivol but definitely not a robbery. Good close fight, depends on what you like.

    that is not going to benefit arthur. 98% of his shots landed on gloves. those are not scored no matter how bad it tosses bivol around.

    Yeah, a stupid man might suspect that.
