Close fight. I had it 7-5 beterbiev

[satiev1]

Clear rounds for beterbiev were round 3 and champion rounds. In between rounds bivol missed a lot and those punches were blocked but the announcers were extremely biased for bivol. Beterbiev did more damage and landed more cleaner with the body shots too. Beterbiev is past prime at 39 close to 40 in his prime it wouldn't be close. Let's do a rematch.

I thought Bivol won. It was close but idk i thought they got it wrong.

I don't have an issue with 7-5 either way. I just don't want to hear robbery. Watching the bivol interview even he dosen't think it was a robbery and it was close.

I just honestly don't see how anybody could have beterbiev winning he was barely throwing and when he did the majority of punches was hitting gloves.

Naw. He was landing clean in between bivol's guard and also hurt bivol to the body many times causing bivol to back up. Bivol's eye is almost shut on the left side. Round 3 he had bivol hurt but the announcers were saying bivol won when he clearly lost that round. Bivol's flurries were blocked well.

Idk in rd 12 i think aesthetically Beterbiev looked better walking down Bivol but idk if he landed anything solid other than the gloves. Bivol had great flurries that round landed more clear.

I had 8-4 Beterbiev. So that's 116-112 for me. I could see 115-113 Beterbiev at the lowest. In a rematch Bivol would get beat up even worse. He didn't hurt Artur one time. Bivol was hurt to the body a few times. I think he'd get stalked and stopped. Would also be more time removed from his surgery.

Bivol was hurt in the 7th round (I think) as well.

Barely throwing but threw 200 more punches than Bivol?

I dont disagree with this, but at the same time Im not sure how I feel about a 39 year old fighter throwing over 1,000 punches, even if a lot of them were arm / single paced....
