    Bivol by 2 rounds, yes he was moving away a lot but he was throwing combos

    Both just seemed happy to get a paycheck

    Horribly muted post fight

    Draw.

    Considering this was an unidsputed fight, no one of them deserved the win cuz no one of them won it clearly

    The fight was so close, I had Beterbiev winning but a lot of rounds could have gone either way. Both proved tonight that they belong at the very top and a rematch will be good.

    Nobody was running. How do you run and still out land your opponent?

    I had Beterbiev by 2, but it was a hard fight to score as Bivol was landing the more eye catching shots. Beterbiev's shots however, were much more damaging and forced Bivol into retreat, that never helps your cause with the judges.

    Regardless, I'd have no issue with anyone saying Bivol by 1 or 2, it was a close fight. A draw was probably the fairest result, then they can run it back.

    Bivol won, but it definitely live up to the expectation of a 50-50 fight.

    They should run it back. Bivol deserves a rematch imo

    Beterbiev may have shown more aggression but almost all his punches were blocked by Bivol’s gloves. I had it 7-4 with 1 even.

    Bivol. Close but clear. Hard scoring when neither guy took many clean power shots. Beter spend a lot of rounds just following Bivol around the ring
