    The main event was incredible. Boxing at the highest level and at its very best. A real pleasure.

    It was good that the main event lived up to expectations because the undercard was a disappointment.

    I agree with that, but it depends how many you gave Bivol up to that point. I genuinely expected a majority draw when they read the first card out at 114-114.

    Regardless, it's a statement of Beterbiev's power that Bivol is looking the worse for wear today from a lot of glove shots. His arms are ruined too. It shows the value of an elite level guard but it can't be any fun facing that!

    On DAZN they said these Saudi cards are getting better and better all the time :)

    It´s completely hopeless that they don't dare to be a little bit critical. The Saudi card last night was probably the worst so far.

    Disagree. In the main forum in a poll it currently has:

    Bivol 43%
    Beterbiev 35%
    Draw 21%

    I had it a draw myself, but so many close rounds. Just do it again, one of the best fights I've seen in last couple of years, pure quality.

    Plus there seems to be a lack of power which is going to be a big problem going forward.

    It's crazy, people were talking last night about Quittaker going up a weight as his frame is 'massive' for light-heavy... Beterbiev would destroy him in 3 rounds, let alone going higher up.

    I know that they all dope. I worked for a very well-known anti-doping agency for seven years. You don't need to tell me.

    Don't be silly.

    I also thought Bivol won based on punches landed, but Beterbiev was clearly the aggressor and he made it count in the championship rounds.

    He won’t get past Yarde on that performance.
