Why did Dmitry Bivol have perfectly circular welts and gouges on his arm?

[Smash]

conspiracy theories usually have something circular, crop circles, flying saucers, nelos damage

I like those tactics from Alvarez, ****ing the arms.

Old school rough house tactics, jab to the chest, jab to the throat and ****ing the arms etc.

Rocky Marciano was not that skilled but he was expert in this area. Just bullying opponents with punching everywhere. He had godly stamina unlike Nelo.

[Marchegiano]

I mentioned this being a Marciano move in the live thread.

It is of course actually far more ancient than that but Marciano's a guy you can look at easily and see the same damage. If anything Rocky did it more and to a higher success. Roland and Archie were particularly bitter about Marciano's arm assault.

There's a ton of things guys used to do loads that they don't do anymore. This is one of those. It's not popular, but it's always been part of boxing.
