Bivol v Beterbiev next!

[Primo Carnera]

Gutted that I missed the fight, but thankful for the great RBR from you guys. Life sometimes gets in the way of the best laid plans. Sounds like the fight lived up to the hype. Nothing but respect for these two. I'll obviously try and catch it on YouTube or a delayed telecast.

Cheers @TIC, just watched it. Gotta be honest , I may be biased, but I had Bivol winning it by at least 2 rounds.
The problem was that Bivol was on the back foot most of the fight. It’s hard to look like you’re winning the fight like that.
But pro boxing is scored on rounds won. Unless you knock someone down or completely batter someone in a round, it’s 10-9.
And Bivol won more rounds, landed with more combinations, more punches. Just because they didn’t have an effect because Beterbiev is made of stone doesn’t matter. You don’t win rounds by absorbing punches.
I can see why judges gave Beterbiev rounds, but it doesn’t make it right.
