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

That’s not how I saw it, Bivol was staying in there and exchanging a lot more and finishing the rounds stronger rather than moving out of range and fighting on the back foot like he did in the first fight, he was aware that beterbiev won the first fight by being the aggressor, but he didn’t let him this time, he was answering beterbievs pressure with his own but with more volume and more accuracy.
He clearly studied the first fight and he did exactly what he needed to convince the judges.
Beterbiev didn’t quite make the same adjustments in as far as his style like bivol did but he applied the pressure earlier and didn’t let bivol take as many of the early rounds.
I thought it was absolutely insane that fight I loved every second of it

 

Lmao

 

I particularly like how they've learned to roll the fights out quicker with literally a 5-10 minute wait between bouts , it's defo something they've taken onboard and improved upon , I like the 'RING' livery set up as well ,these cards are the bollox .

 

What did you score it?

 

Yea and 3 months ago he was already showing signs of slowing down. According to you as well.

 

I think both round 7 and 10 were pretty close. Maybe those could be split one a piece.

 

Anyone would think Bivol is a youth , the man ain't no spring chicken either.

 

As someone who masterfully did that in round 9 of his rematch with AJ, I'm sure Usyk was nodding in approval

I certainly was when I realized that's what he was doing when he turned the heat up in round 7

 

You seem a little upset for reasons I don’t understand. And a professional judge agrees with me. I don’t check a biased message board after each round to validate my score.

 

Let's be honest

A prime Beterbiev (Gvozdyk version) would have made mincemeat out of Bivol

 

What did Beterbiev say to Bivol when he left the ring? Did anybody get that? Sky sports was talking about, saying it was just the heat of the moment. Apparently AB didn't accept defeat very gracefully..

 

No not at all

 

So you want to see his opponents play into his hands ?
Ring craft and defense is a part of boxing as much as knocking out someone is.
I think the only fighter who would willing stay in the pocket against Beterbiev is Beterbiev himself
