    So there's a whole bunch of mfers who were not the judges of that fight or any fight claiming Bivol was the winner....... There was even a couple of ex competitors who were blessed with some questionable victories during their careers trying to go against the judges' verdict.

    So, what?....... The fight was close and honestly, picking either one, you aren't wrong, imo.....but this claim for "robbery" needs to stop. The judges made their decisions in the moment. It is what it is.....

    The media are paid stooges ..

    & It wasn't really that overwhelming considering 27 didn't have it for Bivol

    The concensus is a Bivol win or a draw. Beterbiev getting the nod doesn't suggest a robbery as most had Bivol up by 1 round in a close fight.

    Probably time to move on.

    That is an enormous amount of draws for a media split. Unreal amount of draws. The single biggest marker for a very close fight for me is a lot of drawn scorecards.

    I had it 7-5 Bivol but there's no story here. A very close fight looked a certain way to the judges. It happens.

    Ok, it's a wrap. Bivol won. Now how do we get Boxrec to change the decision?

    Nearly everyone who had Bivol winning had the fight 115-113 which lends to the fact that it was an extremely close fight. If you change one round against Bivol it's a draw. If you change 2 rounds it becomes a Beterbiev win. There's very few fights that don't have 2-3-4 swing rounds that could go to the opponent based on where the judge or simply onlookers are sitting.

    It was a close fight, sometimes you gotta just put things to bed and move on

    It wasn't a robbery. I scored it 114-114 a draw or 115-114 for Bivol with one even round. The 115-113 score for Beterbiev was fine too.

    That being said, I did not like the 116-112 score for Beterbiev.

    Everyone had an erection for Bivol because of what he did to Canelo.

    Take Canelo out of it and people's perceptions are more based in rationality.

    18 draws says a lot.
