    Why not? It's a close fight i think Beterbiev won

    Bivol gets way too much for missing flashiest combos

    Amazing fight by Bivol. Credit Beterbiev for his part in an amazing contest.

    And f**k off Ramzan Kadyrov, I hope we never see you at a boxing contest again.

    Well done Bivol. His comeback between rounds 4 and 11 was an absolute masterclass in boxing.

    Third fight please.

    Right decision. Congratulations to Bivol, really stepped his performance up from last time.

    Eddie knew they could get Beter at 40 years old. What a scumbag.

    Like GGG and Canelo... It came too late in the day.


    Beterbiev should swerve the trilogy, I don't think he can beat him now. Bivol can take his best shots and now will always outwork and out punch him.

    Bivol not an excuse for first decision. A true pro. Then we have all the planks making excuses all the time.

    Yeah it was too late but as much as I moan about some of the **** the Saudi's pull I don't think it'd have happened at all. And Artur clearly still had enough to make it worthwhile and it gave us two fantastic fights.

    Agree that I can't see Beterbiev winning a third fight.

    Paul Smith can’t just enjoy his brothers win can he, he has to argue with anyone and everyone on Twitter who dared to think Buatsi had a chance.

    Not convinced bivol won that fight. Got chased round the ring half the night.
    Beter thudding shots in thats getting overlooked for bivols pot shotting that doesnt have any real effect on beterbiev.

    In terms of effective aggresion its hard to score for bivol....when literally none of it has an effect on beter.

    Bivols a tremendous boxer tho tbf and beterbiev a machine. Great fight. Decent night of boxing. Smith and buatsi terrific fight. Feel a bit for bakole waited for his chance for years only to get 48 hours notice. Started well as well.

    That performance harms Bakole more than anything. He may have got paid a lot of money but he's done now, any chance of a big fight is gone
