Fight lived up to the 50/50 odds. Bivol tried to jump on Beterbiev when he hurt him, and Beterbiev hurt him back and had Bivol scared to press the action again.
Flip side, Bivol's high guard and movement took Beterbiev to the cards for the first time in his career. Excellent use of movement and understanding of distance from Bivol.
I really hate people underselling Beterbiev's work, especially his body punching. Nonetheless, I felt he needed a KD to truly win the fight, perhaps a draw at best. I do feel Bivol did enough, though neither man was able to wrestle the momentum away from the other.
