Beterbiev wins easier in rematch

I agree, I think Beterbiev will do better in the rematch.

 

Completely agree, Bivol was gone those last 2 rounds

 

Hence no rematch should be necessary then. Would only shorten Bivol's career, he should move on. While Beterbiev fighting others would likely end via stoppage, so still fan-friendly.

 

I had Bivol winning but I kind of think Beterbiev will do better in the rematch.

 

I think that in the rematch Bivol will win more confidently, don’t forget that Beterbiev will turn 40 in January.

 

I think that Bivol used a lot of nervous energy at the start, over committed on a few occasions and ceded centre of the ring, neglecting his jab for spells. He has many things he could improve upon, and having gone 12 rounds - and many folks feeling he could have got the nod -might favour Dmitry for the rematch

 

This.

 

I'm rewatching the fight and I just gave Bivol the first 4 rounds CLEAR

 

The more people rewatch this fight the more rounds they will score for Bivol

 

That is what I'm interested in seeing. I felt like Beterbiev didn't look like himself until the later rounds. If he looked like that the majority of the fight Bivol might not go the distance. Was that because of Bivol? Inactivity? Age? Injury? We'll find out. Bivol is tough though. I gotta give him his respect. He took some shots that I thought he wouldn't be able to stand up to.

 

Rewatching the fight I gave Bivol the first 4 as well (not clear though). I think Beterbiev had a lot of success after that. I only gave Bivol one round (9th) after that. The 8th was kinda close with Bivol trying to steal it at the end with combos. A lot of those shots were blocked though. The 12th was close as well. On rewatch, scored it 7-5 for Beterbiev.

 

Stop with the age factor Bet is a super athlete a well conditioned boxer.

 

Does Beterviev hit harder than Wilder p4p? He rarely landed clean and Bivols face was messed up bad.
