    What was different? He didn't wear his long socks he jinxed himself.

    It was, Exo. Lots of rounds were close, too.


    If they decide on a third scrap, it's justified, I think.

    Over the course of 2 fighters, Bivol is the slightly better fighter, but they're extremely well-matched. These guys are not that far apart.

    Like to see Beterbiev retire he is still a formidable opponent but time waits for nobody,let Bivol the younger man carry the Division on as the new Undisputed Champion. A trilogy fight would certainly favour Bivol at this point imo,reminds me of the Canelo v GGG trilogy .

    Did beterbiev say I didn't want the second fight but had no choice?

    Had it 115-113 bivol and I'm happy to say I was wrong and bivol made great adjustments

    GREAT GREAT POINT!

    The 4 Kings are almost mythical because they had dance partners and fought the BEST!

    Both Bivol and Beterbiev come out of these 2 fights elevated IMO

    yes, and they should be questioning their scoring.

    Well then you're a small minority it was a clear Bivol win he controlled the 2nd half of the fight hands down.

    Could've gone either way imo. Honestly, both fights could reasonably be scored draws. Bivol moves too much for Beterbiev to get set and do any of the rough, mauling combinations he's known for, and Beterbiev takes away the room Bivol needs to throw his 1-2s. Their styles really don't mesh all that well. Neither man can impose their styles because they're so diametrically different, leading to unsatisfying and hard to score fights like the ones they just had. I will not be happy until Beterbiev stops Bivol. I will go to bed an angry and bitter man tonight.

    Happy for Bivol. Well deserved victory. I scored it 116-112 for him. Hope his ex wife is seething right now.
