The fight could have gone either way , it's what you like, scoring wise , a case could be made for both, 116-112 was was too wide either way , but it wasn't 'a robbery' as Hearn claims.

bro if you saw the betting lines before the fight you know this was a predetermined result. The fact that beterbiev and kadryov are close says everything you need to know. I like beterbiev a lot as a fighter and I’ve seen worse decisions but I agree with Eddie that there’s no way you can give artur 6 rounds even if u gave him every swing round

Not even anywhere close to a robbery.

In close fights where there are lots of close rounds, scorecards can be all over the place.

Seems this simple concept is impossible to grasp, even for the worlds leading promoters.

Anyone calling this a robbery has clearly never seen a robbery

What about Conor Benn Eddie, shouldn’t he be banned instead?

this was definitely not a robbery. Bivol even said that he should have pressured more - he gave away loads of rounds but running too much when he hadn’t done anything.

Cmon man. Bivol easily won the first 3 rounds. If you think he only won 2 of the remaining 9 rounds sure the scorecards were fine whatever floats your boat kid lol

Why would u make that up and try to pass it off as fact? Thats not what bivol said at all lmao. He said he could’ve thrown more punches and he was concentrating on landing the harder cleaner punches not volume and he could’ve thrown more punches. He said nothing about “I should’ve pressured more” find that quote you can’t because you literally made it up lol. It’s funny because even artur doesn’t think he won the fight he literally said after the fight “I didn’t think I did very good but today allah chose me” lmao meaning he knows he got a gift from god. His own corner told him after 10 rounds he needed a KO to win. It just wasn’t a very good decision add in the Chechen judge and the kadryov connection…doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what happened lol

Bivol fought well, but he was on the back foot most of the night and fought in spurts. When he fought Canelo, he made sure to land twos & threes each time Alvarez landed ones. He didn't do that vs Beterbiev, because he was worried about what was coming back. People are complaining about the 116-112, scorecard and that's understandable, but even if it were more in line, Artur won the fight. Those who thought Bivol won should take a look at his face.
