sixth to artur, even after six rounds
WTF is announce talking about "Beterbiev hurt him...at least he thinks he did";D. Mind readers for sure.
Bivol better accuracy in 6th but Beterbiev sponging them and answering immediately back, good round. 4-2 Beterbiev.
Bivol takes the 6th for me. 4-2 Bivol. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
Beterbiev - 40 years old ! Fucking insane!
Ebb-flow 7th. Like Bivol with the volume and better last half. 4-3 Beterbiev
seventh to artur
Very tight 7th could’ve gone either way. I’ll give it to Beterbiev. 4-3 Bivol
Bivol with the combos working in 8th. More effective punching. Have it back to even 4-4
eighth to dmitry, even after eight rounds
Bivol won last 3 rounds 5-3 up.
8th to Bivol for me. 5-3 Bivol. Bivol winning on rounds, but why does it feel like Beterbiev is winning the fight?
Prob Bivols best round the 9th, Punching off the back and front foot leaving Beterbiev resetting and looking for him. 5-4 Bivol
nineth to dmitry
The 9th is the first round Bivol has won convincingly imo
Beterbiev 9th got it 5-4 Bivol
9th to Bivol 6-3 Bivol . Although I think the judges will have it closer. Bivol is a very slick fighter. Keep it up Dmitry!!
Beterbiev wins 10 so level.
tenth to dmitry
Beterbiev pressing but volume and combos for Bivol edge it for me in 10th. 6-4 Bivol
Fair to say, the way Turki was talking weeks ago there will def be a trilogy. Unfortunately for David Benavidez.
Tight 10th , but I’ll give it to Beterbiev because he forced the pace. 6-4 Bivol.
I'm a sucker for fast combination punching I guess. Bivol standing right in and rolling counters in spots. Bivol 11th. 7-4 Bivol. This is not "running".
eleventh to dmitry
On a side note...for fucks sake this card is now in the 8th hour ???
11th to Bivol . I’ve got it 7-4 Bivol, BUT I reckon he needs the last round.
Bivol wins 11. He is one up.
i've got dmitry winning by two points
Beterbiev won last round.
Regardless of the result Beterbiev Won for me. Bivol was on his bike and landed a few eye catching punches but the aggressor and the volume of AB chipping away won for me.
Quality 12th :appl:. Two very very hardened men and compliments to the sport, fun scrap here. Close final round but Beterbiev took the 12th.
At end I have Bivol 115-113.

Trilogy inbound! Holy crap...first time I've seen Beterbiev ever smile was after they announced Bivol.
Last round to Beterbiev. I’m fucking worried now. I’ve got Bivol by 2, but it could easily go the other way. Another amazing fight from 2 incredible fighters.
dmitry gets the majority decision
Bivol wins majority decision. The one judge had it a draw but the other 2 had it 8-4 and 7-5.
Brilliant fight again both elite boxers.
Rematch.
Overall, it was a great, entertaining card from start to finish.
What a fight! Callum Smith and Joshua Buatsi went to war in a back-and-forth battle, with both men having their moments. In the end, my scorecard read 114-114—a fair result for such a tightly contested fight. A rematch would be more than justified. Hell, why not a trilogy?
Agit Kabayel put in the performance of his career, stopping Zhilei Zhang in the sixth round. Zhang’s power was always a threat, and he even dropped Kabayel in the fifth, but his gas tank emptied fast. His mouth was wide open from exhaustion early, and Kabayel took full advantage, pressing forward and ripping shots to the body. By the sixth, it all caught up to Zhang—he went down and couldn’t beat the count. Huge win for Kabayel!
Vergil Ortiz struggled with Madrimov's movement and style early but began to find his rhythm in the mid rounds. His relentless pressure started to take over, earning him a close 115-113 victory on my card.
Carlos Adames must feel hard done by after that draw. He started slow and seemed frustrated with Sheeraz's style, but from the midway point, Adames began landing solid shots and connecting more. Sheeraz seemed lost in the championship rounds. I had Adames winning 116-112, but at least the draw means he keeps his belt and wasn't robbed.
Josh Padley put up a brave effort on short notice but was overwhelmed in the 9th round. Stevenson dropped him three times in that round, forcing Padley’s corner to throw in the towel.
Parker made quick work of late replacement Bakole, completely dismantling the so-called boogeyman of the division. That massive right hand scrambled Bakole’s senses, and his corner didn’t hesitate to call it off. Although it was a dominant performance, the short notice must be taken into account, and the win should be put into perspective.
Beterbiev vs. Bivol was intense from the start. Bivol boxed and moved superbly early, letting his hands go, while Beterbiev stalked him, cutting off the ring and unloading heavy shots. Beterbiev started closing the gap from round four, and the advantage shifted back and forth, with every round closely contested. I felt Bivol pulled away in the later rounds. In the end, my scorecard read 116-112 Bivol. Bring on the trilogy!
I wouldn’t be certain there is a trilogy. Beterbiev is 40 for fucks sake. Can he keep going to the well?
Bivol is some fucking fighter.
Not sure if they make Bivol-Benavidez right off. But I think his style can give David hell. Maybe Callum Smith fits in somewhere?
