    Prime Beterbiev is clearly better than Bivol and best LHW of the 21st century.

    He is 40 years old and been through more surgeries than the Kardashians. There is a reason Bivol and Hearns aged Biev out for as long as they possibly could.

    Very close back tactical rd with back & forth action favoring bivol at the end
    Rd12. Beterbiev wins on pure aggression. Bivol had nothing left

    Can they take the belts away from Beterbiev with this performance?

    Bivols ends it running and holding. I could tell from the highlights that they want a trilogy, but boxing is about damage, not running.

    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

    115-113 to Bivol

    That's how I scored it LIVE

    Beterbievs feet have slowed down alot

    I actually had it 7-5 to Beterbiev although Bivol's rounds were clearer.

    Clear victory for Bivol. Surely they can’t rob him. Would be even worse decision than first
