    I've already explained on the RBR that I miscalculated my final tally. Because I was doing it from memory, and didn't actually write them down like I usually do.

    In any case either man could have won. Depends on whether the judges rewarded Bivols crisper punching or Beterbiev's aggression and ring generalship.

    Very similar to CST's score, if not exactly the same. Bivol won, and if you are a beterbiev fan you can steal the fight from bivol with a draw. Beterbiev winning the fight is just laughable.

    PS: I looked for my scores, I didnt score it exactly the same as CST. Imho he was being too generous with beterbiev. I had Bivol up 6-1 in round 7 (Bivol won 1,2,3,4,6,7) , so you can imagine what I think about those *******s judges.

    Rewatching now (btw, I was fully wanting Beterbiev to win)

    I will be looking for CLEAN shots, In this entire fight both men were hitting gloves (Beterbiev a lot more as he had a lot of output).

    1: 10-9 Bivol, both slow but Bivol was quicker
    2: 10-9 Bivol, more clear this time, landing quick jabs and crosses throughout..
    3: 10-9 Bivol, Beterbiev picking up the pace but Bivol finding the counters, he is blitzing in beautifully
    4: 10-9 Bivol, surprising honestly, commentary constantly saying "This is a better Artur round", I thought Bivol was the one snapping Artur's head back with straight shots while Beterbiev was landing on the guard, rarely his cross would get through slightly but that's it. You could say Beterbiev was pushing him back but he wasn't really landing. I believe I will see a Bivol win if most rounds are like this.
    5: 10-9 Beterbiev, CLEAR Artur round. This is what I'm looking for from Artur, not punches on the arms or gloves. When he lands clean he scores.
    6: 10-9 Beterbiev, swing rounds, Artur missed a lot but Bivol rarely returned while being pressured on the backfoot the whole time, the problem is Bivol landed slightly cleaner so I'm somewhat confused who exactly to give it to. I'll lean Artur on effective aggression.
    7: 10-9 Beterbiev, Bivol was landing beautifully, getting the round until a clean shot stunned Bivol, the follow-ups were clean. When they land, clean shots from Artur are hard to ignore.
    8: 10-9 Beterbiev, I feel like I'm going to get crucified for this score on this round but both men were landing at the same time. The only difference being Artur pushing forward the whole time, Bivol had success at the end too.
    9: 10-9 Bivol, beautiful clean shots. Beterbiev throwing but Bivol with the head snapping shots.
    10: 10-9 Beterbiev, Artur landing on the gloves a lot but the pressure and output is so immense that the few that got in there have to count. Bivol had a moment but Beterbiev had the round
    11: Beterbiev, best Artur round by far, Bivol falling behind now, looking fatigued. All comes down to the 12th on my card
    12: Beterbiev, close round, both landed, but I fancied the pounded shots from Artur

    115-113 Beterbiev

    2 or 3 swing rounds in there. I could easily see a draw or Bivol win, no robbery.
    Was it just me or the replays were ridiculously biased for Bivol? Besides round 11, every single round only had Bivol's moments of shots popping Artur's head back. Even in the rounds where it was clear Beterbiev landed the harder shots, it was quite odd. Also I know there are claims of "rigged judges" due to where it was hosted. Turki himself thought Bivol won and if they were biased towards that group of people they would have gave Madrimov the decision against Crawford. My conclusion after the rewatch, people are overreacting, per usual.
