    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 :D

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

    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..

    Of course, but it doesn't change the fact that Bivol did exactly what I said he should, which is dose his efforts more effectively. He let Beterbiev go all out, like he did in the 11th and 12th of their first fight, banking on him not being able to sustain that pace for more than three or four rounds, fingers crossed that he could come roaring back late and dominate the back half of the match. It was obvious for all to see, except you evidently.

    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

    There will always be the what if Beterbiev was younger element but this was still a high level Beterbiev who had beaten him just a few months before so I think there is only so far one could go even with that argument.

    They all smiled at the end so Sky probably translated it wrong

    When the fight ended they were both civil and talking to each other

    Could be 8-4 or 7-5. I lean towards the former
