    I saw a lot of Bivol's punches not landing clean as well. The replay will show and the combinations he would land didn't look anywhere near as eye catching. It was close. Neither fighter really established themselves like they wanted.

    So if a fighter lands on his opponent's glove, causing that glove to then land on that opponents head, and that opponent goes down for the ten count, it shouldn't be ruled a KO ?

    Is that what you're saying ?

    Bivol took Beterbiev on numerous times, landing clean, keeping composure and answering with two shots for one, and following up to chase Artur away.

    Anybody taking about Bivol running away should put a pair and try to trench against this much of a puncher. Bivol was showing the gulf in pure boxing class bar the championship rounds where he was running out of steam.

    I would entertain the running away cries of if he was constantly on the ropes or if we weren't living in an era so blatantly incapable and unwilling to produce inside fighters that would deal with such dwarfing power punching disparity in any other way that dictating terms of engagement through movement.

    I absolutely scored the final rounds for Artur, but I absolutely think there is a scoring bias when convenient.

    Both fought a war. Let's do a rematch. I had it a draw.

    What the **** are you talking about. It has always been about landing more. See Number 1. Are you really this damn dumb? You can't have #2, #3, #4 if the other guy is landing punches on you. If he was able to punch you, you didn't have ring generalship, you didn't have defense, your aggression was not effective. The guy was still landing punches on you.

    Punches that land on the head count more then punches that land on the arms it's why Floyd won against Madiana and Oscar

    Fair enough, I'm the same, I didn't mean to be a dick I've had a few drinks as I do on fight night. I apologise, peace out.

    Well it had to have been as AB landed sweet **** all flush. Funny if Floyd uses the philly shell and catches everything on the shoulder it's nothing but glorious defence, but if you're Bivol and catch everything on the glove the judges decide they're sneaking through. I thought Bivol fought better. The judges like AB attacking the gloves clearly thinking something is hitting his head. What can you do.

    Very good close fight. I feel like it should have been a draw but either winning would not constitute a robbery. I think Bivol boxed slightly better but Beterbiev hurt Bivol slightly more. Deserves a rematch; they should do it in Russia. It’s definitely a fight where you could say it depends what you like on how you score it. Overall it seems like a draw would have been the fairest result.
