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

No it didnt. Losses are part of the sport.

 

I was referring more to it being technical, highly skilled, and threatening to catch fire without ever doing so than the Adelaide Byrd. GGG had just been on a 20-something fight KO streak and Artur a 20-ko streak. One guy coming forward for 12 rounds, the other going backward for 12 rounds, undisputed. There's a few similarities. But really it was the high level **** and neither guy being able to physically put a beating on the other.

 

Just finished the rewatch
And I changed my mind on two rounds for sure and I’m still not sure on the 12th,
So I changed the 8th to a Beterbiev round
And I changed the 10th to a bivol round.
So without being able to decide definitely on the 12th I still have it
115-113 for Bivol
If you can give Beterbiev the 12th which is totally acceptable then it’s a draw at best.
But this is the least amount of changes I have ever made on a rewatch.
I will rewatch and score the 12th again until I can be sure who took it, but I don’t think I need to rewatch the other rounds.
Only a Bivol win or a draw is possible for me.

 

How did you score it mate?

 

"I would stand toe to toe with author and knock him out. No IQ no head movement." Edgar Barlanga Jr.

berlanga got jokes, lol.

 

I have the same rounds as close as well, but I have 1,2,3,4,8,9,12 bivol
And 5,6,7,10,11 for Beterbiev.
It’s close enough that I can see people giving it to Beterbiev they are clearly wrong but I can’t understand anyone not being impressed with a historic performance from Bivol, I take solace knowing that history will be on our side.
Rematch is happening not because the people want to see it but because Turki wants it

 

Also on a side note Ben Whittaker got exposed as the fraud he is tonight

 

3,7,11 were clear Beterbiev rounds and it seems like others that could have been scored either way.

 

What excuse?

 

Agreed, round 4 was the 1st I scored for Artur - though I stopped scoring and just watched in round 8

At that point i felt round 7 was a stablising round for Bivol that I had v close to him, with Beterbiev winning 4,5 & 6.

That would probably get me to draw, with Bivol winning 8&9 and Artur 10,11 & 12 - although the last round was close with some good work from Bivol.

Bivol - 1,2,3,7,8,9
Beterbiev - 4,5,6,10,11,12

But need a rewatch without the tension to concentrate on scoring!

 

Still absolutely over the moon right now. Got pretty buzzed up last night. Still feel absolutely amped even while sobering up.

Right man won. Thank you to the judges for not rewarding the runner. That kind of boxing is for little turds. It's about putting on the thump.
