Complete dog crap Bivol won Betterbiev is surprised he got the nod Judges were intimidated they were in the presence the dictator
I had it 5-5 after 10 and thought Bivol would go on to win as he got his second wind during rounds 9/10 and was looking sharp, but Beterbiev finished the last 2 rounds on top and they won him the fight. IMO of course.
I thought Beterbiev won clearly. Watched it on TNT commentary and Richie, Carl and the others in the studio saw it the same. Genuinely surprised to see shouts of robbery online.
Great fight. Could make an argument for either tbh. Cant believe beterbiev,s talking about he should have been better and he,s a simple boxer. Him and bivol both different level.
Wonder how much ring generalship played a part in the judges scoring. Bivol while landing the cleaner shots was quite passive in some of the closer rounds.
I had Bivol winning 7-5 and thought I was being generous to Beterbiev giving him 5 rounds. Either way it was a good fight. Looks like Beterbiev was just as surprised as me that he got the nod.
Just listen to the pure class of both boxers post fight. Now compare some of the Brits. Joshua’s meltdown etc. Look at the behaviour of Benn tonight and this week, just imagine the pure meltdown he would have post fight if he loses on points to Eubank.
