Who won: Artur Beterbiev or Dmitry Bivol

Beterbiev 116-112 for me. I was rooting for Bivol but he just couldn't capitalise on the openings that he created in the first couple rounds.

 

Beterbiev brutalized and bullied Bivol. I think Beterbiev won by 116 - 112 as well.

I noticed something, Bivol can't fight in close distance. He has to be arm length away from his opponent to throw his combinations. Beterbiev on the other hand is a master of close encounters and he can also fight very well keeping his distance. Beterbiev is the full package.

 

The rematch will be the same except I think Bivol will run more, get tired quicker and ultimately get stopped late.
