    Bivol would have to stand his ground more. He was on his back foot for most of the fight.

      I don’t think there’s anything bivol can do differently in order to decisively beat Beterbiev. He started off well winning the at least 3 out of the first 4 but after that Beterbievs persistent hunting style was too difficult to deal with for Bivol. I had it 6-6 but either guy could’ve won 7-5 imo. After the first 4 bivol only won 1 or 2 more rounds imo.

      Once Artur managed to close that gap from R5 on it was playing out like a typical Beterbiev fight (bar the ko). Unlike Canelo Bivols punch was not phasing Artur one bit. I could see bivol winning too but he only has himself to blame for getting dominated in the mid to late rounds.

        Not get dominated in the final 3 rounds.

          Bivol - throw more, he only threw 423 punches


          beterbiev - go to the body early, take more risks dont show bivol as much respect. i get it bivol is fresh and moving early but by round 6 beter needs to put on the pressure not wait late in the fight.

            Fight the same way will be enough as Beterbiev is 40yo and even in this fight he looked old (and gassed).

            If they rematch I may even put money on a Bivol stoppage. No way Bivol will lose a rematch.

              I don’t know how you can watch that fight and just think Artur will all of a sudden fade. It ain’t happening, my guy was already meant to be old. Bivol was more gassed than him.

                I had it Biv 7-5 Bet or a draw

                but Biv finishing more gassed than Bet is why I'd favor Bet in the rematch

                you want to dominate the final rounds vs a power pressure mauler

                the ending made me think Biv could get hurt bad or stopped in a rematch

                the ending is the reason for this thread lol

                  Exactly bro, Bivol couldn’t wait to get out of the ring. It’s just impossible to bully Berterbiev I think Bivol found that out in this fight. Only way he was winning rounds was when he was fresh and moving, once that movements gone in the fight berterbiev will just walk him down again and again in a rematch.

                    Become Muzlim and stand in the ring with Muzlim ear criminal Kadyrob in a Muzlim country.

                    Beterbiev only needed to do that and win about 4 or 5 rounds.

                      maybe go Andre Ward and break Bet's body down in the rematch

                      idk if Biv has the skillset to pull this off
