    Who did you think won?

    I had it a draw, basically the same as Chris Mannix scorecard but round 9 to Beterbiev.
    I did feel a Bivol win was fair since it was close.
    Official scorecards were fair as well imo.
    Dazn commentary made it seem like Bivol schooled him 10-2. I dont know if Eddie Hearns pays then or they have another reason to be that biased. But fair play to Bivol regardless.
    What was your card?

    R1: bivol
    R2: bivol
    R3: Beterbiev
    R4: Beterbiev
    R5: beterbiev
    R6: beterbiev
    R7: bivol
    R8: bivol
    R9: bivol
    R10: beterbiev close
    R11: bivol
    R12: beterbiev

    114-114 draw

    Round 3 and 10 were close IMO . That's like difference between 116-112 Bivol and 114-114.

    I didn't score live and just watched, but that seems pretty close to what I think i'd have scored. Swing rounds for me would be rounds 3,7 and 12., though would need to watch it back more analytically to know for sure

    Round 12 was clearly a Beterbiev round, it was one of the easiest rounds to score in the fight.

    1. Bivol
    2. Bivol
    3. swing round
    4. Beterbiev
    5. Beterbiev
    6. Beterbiev
    7. Bivol
    8. Bivol
    9. Bivol
    10. swing round
    11. Bivol
    12. Beterbiev

    I give one swing round to each fighter so that makes it 115-113 Bivol in my book.

    Yeah clearly, that's why Bivol outlanded him.

    That doesn’t mean he won the round, all the telling shots came from Beterbiev in that round.

    Did I ****ing give him the round? No I didn't. So what the hell are you bitching about? I denoted it as close, because it was, now **** off.

    Bivol won by 1 round imo. Great fight. Let them rest and have 3rd fight end of year.

    Beterbiev Bivol
    10 - 9

    9 - 10

    9 - 10 little slug at end but Bivol more output

    10 - 9 AB very strong start and finish

    10 - 9 AB strong finish again

    9 - 10 Bivol more output. AB stronger finish

    9 - 10 Bivol cleaner work

    9 - 10 Bivol much better work than AB

    9 - 10 Beterbiev flat footed

    10 - 9 - Bivol output dropped. AB slightly better

    9 - 10 Bivol getting better of exchanges

    10 - 9 AB got better of the exchanges. Too late though.

    115-113 to Bivol

    The last time I scored it a draw upon first watch but rescored it for Beterbiev for his aggression.
    If I rewatch this I will probably still have Bivol as the winner as his work was much cleaner and not as sloppy as last time.
    Both are elite though and very closely matched.


    Post yours.
