Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Boxes Past Craig Richards For Decision Win To Retain Title

[..David..]

Easy win for Bivol but he still didnt look p4p impressive, still wanna see him against Beterviev thats for sure

That fight wasn’t close lol. These British judges are unbelievable.

British judges will give you five rounds for having an accent.

So Bivol did not waste anything just stayed in there and made sure he got the rounds won the rounds and so now for the past five fights he goes 12 ? That is a guess, but Richards hung in there gets him another fight with someone of note = $$ See how Richards develops and what Bivol n Team decide to do. Hope that comment was as dry as the fight. So far two mintues of action in the first fight. Very bussiness like and workmanlike. If you like that. All that should change in a few minutes.

Bivol was a beast when he knocked out barrera, broadhurst and agnew. After he had kids he just seemed to become a decision machine

[PinkGod]

yeah wtf? 115 to 114????? What fight were they watching lol How they gonna make Bivol fight before Eubank Jr in a 10 rounder and Ricky Hatton's son???

Bivol was headlining HBO main events!

Just goes to show you were boxing is heading, I miss HBO.

Bivol is truly wasting his talent and career fighting under slaveroom
and Edward Hearn. He’s tucked away on an undercard on an obscure boxing show featuring nobodies. The man used to headline on HBO. But hey, if he wants to be irrelevant that’s his choice. They don’t call it the deadzone for naught

They've gotten him two fights in over two years, both against LHW's I'd never heard of.

Each and every Bivol fight, it's pretty obvious that the outcome is a win by decision. Bivol should unify with Beterbeiv and rematch Smith Junior

[landotter]

I still favor a Beterbiev with a couple good fights in him (so long as Smith unification is next) over this version of Bivol.

[Liondw]

Bivol is a very classy fighter. He did look quite rusty, and Richards did well in parts of the bout, and it got quite close.

If I'm honest, that version of Bivol won't beat Canelo, and will have some trouble against Beterbiev. Still, I'd like to see him in against them.
