    I had Bivol up by 2 going into the 11th and 12th. Both of which I scored for Beterbiev. Final score, a draw. To your point, several of the early rounds could have gone either way. Change one round and the outcome is changed.

    Harder to score is an interesting concept.

    I feel like the path to a Bivol victory is much easier than the path to a Canelo victory, which conversely means the Bivol v Beterbiev fight is harder to score.

    I think.

    I still need to watch Canelo v GGG 3

    GGG vs Canelo was easy to score 8-4 or 9-3 to GGG

    Beterbiev vs Bivol was impossible to score

    This! GGG got robbed in the 1st fighting on the front foot, so in the return, he fought beautifully on the back foot - in some ways similar to Bivol, except GGG never went passive and finished the fight much stronger than Bivol did. I had the first fight 116-112 (maybe 115-113 if being generous to Canelo) to GGG, but had the 2nd 117-111.
