    He’s done really well out of Bellew beating a one legged Haye. He’s had absolutely no success in the 7 years since yet has got himself a gig at Sky.

    It was a close fight

    How can you laugh at 7- 5 either way?

    Bivol got it tonight and imo deserved too but that was once again two quality operators out there making minimal mistakes

    definitely come out of these 24 rounds feeling that Bivol is the superior of the two. first fight was very debatable while this one was close but clear.

    Bivol is definitely superior than 40 year old Beterbiev I agree.

    Says a lot about Artur how well he performed against such a class act in Bivol at that age. He'd have taken his head off a few years ago I've no doubt.

    Has so many similarities to GGG and Canelo is that sense.

    except the younger fighter was actually better, and wasn’t the one with influential “friends” in the place where it was held

    I was talking about the fact one was just a bit too old when they fought.

    Imagine if that fight had been fought in the O2 or Men Arena in front of 20.000 spectators.

    The atmosphere would have been electric and made the fight even better.

    By the way : What a fight !

    I was on the phone earlier today and heard that not even 1000 tickets had been sold for last night's Saudi show and it was described as "the best card ever in boxing history".

    I agree. It's really great that there's a good flow to the fights so we don't have to go through long breaks.

    If anyone wants to know who won bivol v beterbiev 2 watch whole fight back at half speed ok. Beterbiev landed maybe 7 clean shots to head in whole fight. It was a bivol absolute masterclass. Bivol is p4p best

    Smith fought canelo on4 weeks notice
    Not proper fight camp . Tiny ring
    But of calelo offers u fight you take it. Against beterbiev Smith had bruised rib e weeks before fight couldn't spar .but it was big payday so followed through with it . Smith is a class boxers and wouldsmash yarde easy benevidez would be great battle
