    That's it for me as well, the fight was there for Bivol to take the last 2 rounds and he didn't want to get into it with Beterbiev to take it

    I think Beterbiev wins again on points. But drops him once or twice to make it clearer.

    Yeah, so did a lot of people, including myself. So that's not you taking some brave outlandish stance. So my point stands, ineffective aggression doesn't get any favors for you... unless it's ineffective aggression from Beterbiev that is.

    Ineffective aggression doesn't get any favours?

    Bro, look at Bivol's face at the end of the fight and his left hand that was swollen like a balloon 2 days later from trying to blocking all of Beterbiev's right hands.....

    ....I would hate to see what effective aggression looks like *yikes*

    Bivol can pull off a decision win here. He’s smart and young enough to improve and make adjustments while Beterbiev can only regress at this point.

    Really difficult prediction. In October I saw a very close fight and Bivol could have won (for most of the media he had won). I don't know if and what the two boxers will change in their gameplan. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a match very similar to the first one and this time the verdict went to Bivol (and therefore the trilogy would be very likely)
