I think Bivol edges it this time I thought Beterbiev edged it the first time or a draw (a one point Bivol win would have been justifiable as well) Think the younger Bivol wins this time 8-4 no controversy.
I scored the first fight for Bivol by two rounds but based on all the close swing rounds I believe that either a draw or a Beterbiev win by one point would have been reasonable. In their first fight there was a moment when Bivol buzzed Beterbiev and got careless and he actually got hurt himself - this was a turning point and Beterbiev got some momentum although I still think Bivol won on a round-by-round basis. I think Bivol will be even more focused and careful in the rematch and will win a close but clear decision. (given reasonable scoring).
Beterbiev bullied and brutalized Bivol in the first fight. Bivol has no chance. He looked pathetic and hopeless in the 2nd half of the match. Beterbiev will KO Bivol this time, as Bivol will be braver to attack him.
No, because you felt Bivol won the fight. You felt it so strongly you declared it a robbery, said you've no idea what the judges saw and dismissed Beterbiev as rhe inferior fighter. Now you're saying the exact opposite. Just accept it was a close fight.
You're literally arguing with yourself at this point. You're the one who declared it a robbery on the night, not me.
Also, AB came back after a long lay off after the knee issue. I like Bivol, but I see this similar to Arguello/Pryor. No matter what gets throw Pryor and AB will just keep the pressure on. As ypu mention, Bivol needs to fight a near perfect fight. And please guys, I am fully aware that AB is a much more methodical, and deliberate fighter than Pryor. More composed if you will.
