    Well then I'd like to know what they were scoring for me Bivol clearly won 1-3 7-11 and its not really debatable to me.

    The only clear rounds Beterbiev won were 4-6.

    Usually the person that wins the 2nd fight wins the rubber match. I think Beterbiev, the longer he goes bit by bit the brick chips. He's 40+ and might've aged out of his best.

    I don't think I need to see a 3rd fight. Benavidez ain't beating Bivol, he ain't beating Beterbiev either, unless Beterbiev sits down for 2 years and ages even more.

    I would still like to see Beterbiev against guys who can't keep running away from him for 12 rounds.

    That's probably what I would have scored based on recollection. Beterbiev looked like he was going to stop Bivol around 5 & 6, but Dmitry steadied the ship, and Artur slowed again. Bivol boxed beautifully in 10 & 11, showing much more activity and high ring IQ to nick those rounds from the busier - but less accurate - Artur

    Is beating a 40 year old really a great win, Beterbiev is clearly far past his prime.

    I'm totally on this boat, any order, and I expect we'll be ridiculed for it.

    I can see a draw and 115-113 Bivol but 116-112 was too wide for me.

    Call it running all you want but Bivol was the one who threw and landed more punches.
