Beterbiev v Bivol 2 - The greatest Boxing card ever!

[Primo Carnera]

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.

Trilogy inbound! Holy crap...first time I've seen Beterbiev ever smile was after they announced Bivol.

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!

[Primo Carnera]

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.

[Spicoli]

Not sure if they make Bivol-Benavidez right off. But I think his style can give David hell. Maybe Callum Smith fits in somewhere?

I think Bivol is the clear choice for Performance of the Night—his masterful boxing off the back foot in the late rounds against an ATG pressure fighter was something special. Kabayel, Callum Smith, and Ortiz Jr. deserve mention too. Although dominant, Parker did what was expected against such a late replacement, but in my opinion, there are too many asterisks for it to be considered.

[Master]

Bivol v Beterbiev 2 was boxing of the highest order and an even better rematch. Both fighters were attacking more and took the initiative than their first contest which was more cagey.

The footwork and combinations of Bivol were pure quality and the pressure that Beterbiev applied was relentless.

These two champions are the best in the division and have to have the decider before taking on the other contenders. The contenders should take on one another in an ideal world. Smith v Benevedez, Yarde v Buatsi would be good fights.
