Dmitrii Yurievich Bivol vs. Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev & Jai Opetaia vs. Jack Massey RBR.

Yeah but for much of the fight Bivol was landing hard counters and initiating exchanges off the back foot, Pernell Whitaker style, taking Beterbiev off guard... DB got the better of most of these exchanges precisely because he baited AB into chasing him. He also countered very well in the pocket.

Beterbiev had some moments but didn't really take over rounds until the 11th... There is a case for an AB win but it's not like Bivol was running.

 

Boxing has never been about landed more. Judges don't have the benefit of looking at compubox and seeing who landed more. It's about 1. Clean and effective punching 2. Ring generalship 3. Defense 4. Effective aggression. No where in there is who landed more.

 

As someone who backed Bivol, this is my bright spot. Hearn losing so much is better than almost any of my favorites winning

 

He said he got the cut under his eye from his own glove being pushed back. Is that how it really happened?

 

I played it. It was +600

 

Can’t wait for clap back Thursday with Oscar

 

This would have more credibility if american wasn't so silent on Bernard Hopkins, especially the fans.

Fact is the man doesn't drink or smoke and they have the best of air and food in the Caucasus mountains. Maybe in America where they are eating slop people are declining very early but I'm not going to jump on the juicing bandwagon until I see some evidence.

Is beterbiev making opponents sign non disclosure agreements where they are drug tested and he isn't like hopkins?

 

How about they know they were up against it when fighting a Matchroom fighter

 

I am equally a fan of both and it wasn’t a robbery for me. I had it draw or 7-5 either side but nothing beyond it

 

It’s not the ams.

 

So what I'm seeing is that the 116-112 score makes it a robbery. If you change one round that's 115-113. If there's close rounds, it's conceivable that someone could err on the side of one as opposed to the other.

I'll need to watch the whole fight as I only saw the late rounds, I'm just wondering if it's some sour feelings going around

 

These guys weren't crying robbery when GGG got robbed.

 

He looked like a guy who can throw like no tomorrow in rounds 11 and 12, after 10 rounds of an extremely competitive fight, and then run back home by running because he has still a lot of energy left.

Round 11 is laughable. He just spent 2 minutes throwing nonstop. lol, he was glowing, radioactive....

 

I feel bad for Bivol, but I'd have felt bad for Artrur if it went the other way.
