That judge must have known Ramzan Kadyrov was in attendance
lol why do you even need to bring Kadyrov up? They were fighting in one of the most corrupt backwards kingdoms, if there was a fix, it would be the Saudis themselves. Anyways, that 116-112 score was definitely an outlier, but boxing judging is subjective, and it was a very close competitive fight. Either guy for me could've been the winner.
I had the fight a draw as Beterbiev was the aggressor in the 2nd half. However 116-112 is a robbery
Scored it the same. The 116 card was straight up bs
Will be interesting to see the actual cards.
I had Bivol winning the first three rounds and I didn't think it was hard to score... if that judge agreed then they gave him just 1 round in 9.
Brilliant fight and respect to both... but I can't see that scoring at all.
100% - I thought for sure that 116-112 was for Bivol.
even though I still would have disagreed with 116-112 for Bivol. But i don’t see in any way how 116-112 for Beterbiev makes any sense
