Why did anyone give Arthur the 3rd rd.?

Bivol won that round comfortably. People gave to it him because of his reputation, not because of what he did.

 

Out of 622 people, around 80% gave the third to Bivol. It is very strange to have seen the three judges give this round to Beterbiev.

I had him down 3-0 to start.

 

Good point. It's not even a close round, clear Bivol round. Strange stuff.

 

Yeah I remember Bivol was outboxing him in the first 3. The 3rd was definitely Bivols.

 

That's some very interesting fan scoring. I see that the first 3 were overwhelmingly in favor of Bivol, however the 4th was over 60% in favor Beterbiev. Round 4 was a round that, to some people at least, seemed to be even a more clear round for Bivol than Round 3. The closest round in that poll was Round 7, very slightly in favor of Beterbiev 52% to 48%.

What stands out is the final average score which was incredibly close - 113.89 to 113.82 every so slightly in favor of Beterbiev. That's one of the closest fan scorings on Boxrec that I can remember.

 

What do you make of that boxrec fan scoring? As someone who says it was a Bivol schooling, the boxrec RBR scoring was exceedingly close and even ever so slightly in favor of Beterbiev.

 

Also on the Boxrec scoring, what goes into that "Professional Officials" card? What stands out to me there is that that card had Bivol winning Round 12 10-9, despite all 3 official judges and the fan scoring overwhelmingly scoring that round in favor of Beterbiev.
