    This fight was close. Absolutely nothing wrong with the decision.

    It's true that Bivol has better boxing skills but the guy with better skills doesn't always win the fight.

    Or, you know, maybe being disappointed at going the distance for the first time and barely edging out a win?

    No he didn’t, he’s said that Bivol have better skills than him, which in honesty is true. AB won with pressure and power, it was clear Bivol had issues with that in the end.

    People just see what they want to. Bivol looked way more dejected and accepting of defeat in his interview.

    I thought Bivol edged a win, but that's boxing and definitely not a robbery. I can say both men are victorious in sportsmanship, humility and class... Bravo to both of these Gladiators, wouldn't mind seeing a rematch....

    Beterbiev didn't sway the judges on just skills though

    Beterbiev has different skills, which tonight were better than Bivol. If you people can't see the skill in his pressure fighting, short, powerpunching from angles, breaking guard, catching and countering, then pickleball might be your sport to follow.

    Satire, right? Lol.

    But, just in case...
    Saying someone has better skills than you isnt admitting defeat.

    He literally says he felt like he won after the bell.

    Both worthy of matching each other. It was satisfying to see a defining arc in both great fighters careers. (Bivols Canelo win aside)

    I hope for a rematch there are no other fights that interest me. Neither won comfortably enough IMO

    That's not what he said.

    Did you actually listen to that before posting it?

    Oh wow! Damn! I think there’s also multiple videos of Bivol admitting Artur best him! I think both these guys are showing a lot of class afterwards. Two great boxers.

    Beterbiev won a close one imo. Great showing by both

    The video you just quoted off and the comment attached to it are nothing more than clickbait. Did you not watch it?
