    I personally thought this fight was very close throughout I didn't think the early rounds were not as clear cut for Bivol as people on here make out same as the later rounds for Beterbiev. Both men clearly won a few rounds quite clearly at points in the fight though and I was thinking probably a draw but I sort of feel like it's fairer that Beterbiev won.

    If I remember rightly early on in this fight Beterbiev buzzed Bivol quite badly at the end of one of the first 3 which was probably enough to win it for him. Bivol buzzed Beterbiev a few times as well in the fight and I was also impressed how well Bivol recovered in-between rounds when Beterbiev hurt him.

    than you, bud. all right, i left off after 9. got it 7-2 bivol. lets see what the home stretch looked like.

    rd 10. first clear score is a hard right by biev at 2:23. combo by bivol connects on top of bievs head at 2:11. nobody really scores clearly, til 1:32, where biev seems to land a paw on the back of bivols ear. left-right combo, both connect for bivol at :54. switches the combo to right-left, and scores both again at :50. they both mix it up in exchanges, but both cover up pretty well, so no more clean blows til right before the bell when biev looks like he connected one behind the ear. neither did a whole lot of clean work, but bivol did more of it, and with better technical proficiency. rd to bivol. makes my card 8-2 bivol.
