Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev vs Dmitrii Yurievich Bivol II & Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Israil Madrimov RBR.

Bivol was perfect the first 2 rounds then the rest of the fight was a strange performance from me.

 

What did I learn today?
Beterbiev and bivol are high class operators who fights are joys to watch. Congrats Bivol

Maybe Bakole should not have taken that fight after all, however it was an odd shot on the top of the dome that stopped him so who knows. Congrats Joseph Parker

Agit Kabayel has the best body attack I can remember from a heavyweight, he's making these giants quit from body shots

Shakur Stevenson somehow, some way, came out more unlikeable after this but not even in a Floyd I want to see you lose way, more of an xpac get off my TV way. Somehow his late replacement came out a winner despite getting stopped

Sheeraz way too passive in there, I thought Adames should have won but a lot of negative rounds early on

Callum Smith dug down deep and deserves another payday.

Bautsi is ridiculously tough my God

Don't care for Madrimov, can't wait to see Ortiz again

The Saudi curtain jerkers are going nowhere fast

 

Don’t care. Beter was the ring general and landed better shots, but blew too many rounds with inactivity.

 

Especially if you're getting lynched .

 

Neither fighter changed their strategy in the rematch. They both fought the exact same way. Except Bivol executed better this time and Beterbiev executed worse. Beterbiev ran out of gas in the middle rounds which we haven't seen from him before. It's pretty clear to me that a prime Beterbiev just keeps the pressure on for a UD or late KO. But it is what is. I do think Bivol won the fight.

 

Such a shame Beterbiev didn't get his career going earlier.

He's such a brutal force, even at 40.

I don't want to see the third fight. Give him some other opponents so he can give us some more vicious, maulfests before he retires.

 

Because he had a loose 8 bags on him and was willing to pay the price

 

Just admit your guy lost legitimately Bivol took over after 6th round.

 

That was a great card!
Bivol deserved it
Between Bivol & Vic Ortiz I won $180
I’ll take it I’m on a hot streak.

 

Yeah it was a close fight. Betebiev had Bivol on the verge of breaking by the halfway point but he faded pretty badly after that.

 

Both fights were close for crying out loud,wtf are you watching.

 

There's some terrible shouts here.

 

I can't actually really tell how these fights will affect either man's legacy. I think it'll favour Beterbiev historically that he was this competitive at 40 with his biggest LHW contemporary who was in his pomp.

 

He made Beterbiev look like canelo on the 2nd half of the fight.

 

"Bivol by 3 rds. Should be a fairly clear win for him."
3 heads.
