10/12/24 DAZN/ESPN+: Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol (Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship)

[Deafheaven]

I assume Turki wants Beterbitev vs Benevidez

Benavidez getting decapitated if that happens.

 

[patscorpio]

In any case no one around them weight classes are fukking with either of these dudes. If Bivol had a wee bit more power he'd be a perfect boxer

Like I said bro...175 is a division of high level punchers..it's the only division I don't trip about top fighters there fighting once because the fights be bruising as fukk and they have to be on the shelf recovering after

116-112 Artur was surprising but not a “robbery”

But hey, more reason to have a rematch. Hope it happens within the next 12 months.

Major props to Bivol. Skills are always solid but his conditioning was incredible.

Artur is my guy and I just wish he would’ve tried to go to work earlier in many of the first 9 rounds.

Pay them big time for the rematch, Turki!!

people are human...sometimes a judge might have a bias towards a fire that swings an extra round or 2
for instance I am Canadian so i am prolly biased towards Artur...I almost had 115-113 Beterbiev as a result but adjusted a couple of my rounds to try to fight the bias

 

[Mashal88]

Graceful winner but man iunno
Bivol put on a great performance…doesnt feel right.

It was a draw to me but i aint mad as some of yall

You could argue round 5-9 were arturs

There were a lot of close rounds for sure. Bivol did himself no favors in rounds 11 and 12 though. Gonna have to rewatch and see the judges scorecards.

 

[FreedMind]

Let's be clear, Bivol just fell casualty to the Eddie Hearn curse.

 

[patscorpio]

Smoke would have enjoyed this...

 

[MoshpitMazi]

This is the worst robbery I've ever seen Bivol boxed that clowns ears clean the fukk off

 

[patscorpio]

115-113 with whom winning? . Choose your response carefully.

Beterbiev i said

 

[NormanConnors]

exactly

That's mostly from his own glove being pushed against his face from blocking punches, Beterbiev is a strong dude, breh lost clearly tho

 

[Deafheaven]

Like I said bro...175 is a division of high level punchers..it's the only division I don't trip about top fighters there fighting once because the fights be bruising as fukk and they have to be on the shelf recovering after

I can't see cats like benavidez going 12 with artur or outboxing bivol so its gone be a division of third place finishers lol

 

[krackdagawd]

How did you score it?

 

[FreedMind]

Bro I understand it's the Saudis.... But I wish it was in Vegas.

 

[patscorpio]

Oh HELL NO

Bivol got battered in the 2nd half breh

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

I mean the people are speaking. The overwhelming majority feels bivol won the fight. So it is what it is. But bivol didn't do himself any favors letting Artur wail on him the last couple rounds.

But overall not a great fight imo. Neither guy looked spectacular to me. Both looked a little sloppy and hesitatant. Lot of tension but didn't really live up to the hype. A rematch will probably be better. Make that shyt in America. These Saudi fights are trash as fukk. Feels like they're fighting in an abandoned warehouse.

Bivol got battered in the 2nd half breh

Hardly any of that landed. I give Beterbiev 2 of 3 championship rounds but I thought it was AT WORST 7-5 Bivol.
