Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol - DAZN PPV / ESPN+

[deathofaclown]

Bivol put on a masterful performance in the ring tonight.

Bivol largely controlled the action, landed the cleaner punches, and defended well from Beterbievās punches. Beterbiev could only muster 30-45 seconds of control in most rounds.

Bivol won 8-9/12 rounds and judges only found 4-6 rounds to give him.

Meets the criteria for a robbery.

Well when your muzzzlim opponent is stood in the ring with Chechnyan Muzzzlim war criminal Kadyrob in the ring in the Muzzzlim epicenter of the world...you can rule out a fair decision.

Everyone knows what side their bread is buttered over there, including judges.

[right_hand_lead]

Artur won rounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12.
Bivol won rounds 1, 2, 3, 9

Round 8 was a toss up.

Either I was watching a different fight or you're taking crazy pills

Agreed. I had 9 rounds for Bivol.

You were definitely watching a different fight.

I do want to remind the fans that Beterbiev is the real champion (ignoring alphabet titles). Any close/50-50 rounds should be counted for Beterbiev imo. Bivol is the challenger and needs to do better every round to win it. Very close fight and happy with result.

Mannnn…. Just finished watching this fight.
There’s NO way Beterbiev won this fight. This is insane……..

My OG scoring was pretty much a draw with many swing rounds, but having rewatched the fight - sober, this time - Bivol outboxed a Beterbiev who couldn't land his signature looping behind the ear shot, couldn't effectively counter past Bivol's gloves, and when he was successful, it was in spurts. And even the rounds Artur did win, it was more or less "just enough" or because Bivol foolishly did very little. Artur even sensed he lost. Bivol demystified the beast to a serious degree and got **** all to show for it at the end. A rematch, please, away from Saudi influence.

Wow! Yes! Great win for Opetaia and congratulations to him on defending the IBF and Ring ****zine Cruiserweight Titles!

[Someone88]

Wow! Yes! That was a great fight! It delivered as one the best fights of our generation! It was ultra competitive. Dmitry Bivol did enough to win! Artur Beterbiev also did enough to win! It was a fight that could have been a draw.

Great win for Artur Beterbiev and congratulations to him on becoming the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion of the World!

What? No, man just no. This seems to be another iteration of the eternal misunderstanding of the phrase 'you need to beat the champ to become the champ'
