    For a clean, technical boxer, Bivol seemed to come in head-first quite a lot against Beterbiev.

    Both guys have underrated rabbit punch games. But remember, it's not about hitting behind the ear, it's about the friends we made along the way.

    Meanwhile the video is frozen while Beterbiev slams Bivol in the face with his forearm. :duh

    To stop Bivol from coming in with his head of course. How nice of Artur, helping make sure his pal Dmitry doesn't get DQed.

    I did not see these moments when I was watching live.

    he uses his head to headbutt and to hurt his chest

    he is also pushing down Beterbiev

    In this interview Beterbiev comfirms that dirty tactics made him angry.

    Surprisingly, Beterbiev fought clean in this fight :lol:

    I was expecting a shot to the top of the head and then a TKO finish for him with Bivol staggering all over the place

    Rewatching the canelo fight I saw him effectively use his head and forearms inside. Not sure I'd call it blatant but it was there
