Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev vs Dmitrii Yurievich Bivol II & Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Israil Madrimov RBR.

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.

 

Bivol has beaten Beterbiev & Canelo now , who has better recent wins in boxing?

 

So trilogy? or Benavidez

 

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

 

Eddie is a baboon

 

Outstanding fight from both of these two future hall of famers. Can't wait for the third fight.

 

Sky Sports lying through their teeth

Beterbiev didn't refuse to shake Bivol's hand. They were talking after the fight and Bivol and Beterbiev just had a simple exchange and smiled at each other.

 

Personally scored it 7-5 to Beterbiev, but I am so happy Bivol won just to spite that c word. So glad Bivol is up now.

 

Most annoying guy on the screen any time he shows up

 

Bivol boxed very well but I think the biggest shift in the fight happened when Beterbiev couldn't keep up the same pace after round 6. He got tired. I didn't expect that from Beterbiev but at the same time he is 40. Once that happened, Bivol started banking in rounds. Beterbiev tried to come on late but it wasn't enough. Those middle rounds cost him the fight similar to Bivol losing all of the championship in the first fight costing him.

 

He clearly doesn't have the stamina anymore, he had to take several rounds off in this fight to get through it whereas the younger Beterbiev was relentless. He is not the same fighter anymore and should call it a day.

 

Nah. No way Beterbiev won this.
