In any case, two things are clear: Bivol is a class act, and a rematch is in order. Beterbiev made it clear in not-so many-words that His Excellency would have to come up with serious scratch to make it happen, but it should.
I don't get the posts on here saying Bivol was robbed. That's the most ordinary I've ever seen Bivol, even slightly sluggish at times which is saying something. Beterbiev upped his technical abilities again and showed again that he's far from just a massive puncher. Can't wait for a rematch
I am fine with 7-5 either way or a draw. Personally, I feel Beterbiev edged it. He won his segments more emphatically, had more of them, and overall did more damage than he received.
Early days but over half the votes disagree with Bivol winning. Beterbiev or Draw has a majority. I love playing with stats.
Whilst I though Bivol scored the cleaner shots in the main, Arturs aggression was effective, and he swept the championship rounds, with Bivol fighting back very sporadically. A draw for me, with 115-113 either way being accpetable, but I found it hard to separate them over the 12
