Comments Thread For: 'Sickened' Eddie Hearn calls for ban of Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol judge

[_Rexy_]

I don't recall Eddie complaining when UK judges gave Spider Richards (who clearly lost 11-1/10-2) 113-114 and 112-114 cards. Don't recall Eddie complaining when they gave Canelo (who clearly lost 10-2) three BS cards of 5-7 either.


But an actual close fight? Stick to whoring yourself to the Saudi's, Eddie. Your own kingdom is crumbling

I didn’t have a problem with 116-112, it’s not like that’s a super wide scorecard. Let’s put it this way, nobody has an issue with 115-113, so all of a sudden the judge who had one additional round for Beterbiev should be banned according to Hearn????

It’s tough to win these rounds when yes, there may be spurts of good work, but then followed by minute, minute and a half periods of running around the ring trying to escape. Even if a lot of punches are blocked in these periods, a lot are at least partially getting through and it looks bad.

Actually, I kind of feel like the draw was a worse scorecard than 116-112, because I saw a close fight with a clear winner.

I scored it a draw, but if I had to give it to anybody, it would be Beterbiev. Bivol seemed to be running backwards at times. Rematch would be nice to see.

I agree. I had it a draw. 115-113 either way is fine. People calling it a robbery need to post their scorecards or shut the **** up.

I had bivol winning but when he turned off the gas in the championship rounds that he was opening the door for the judges to blank him those rounds. I had him winning 115-113 or 116-112. I do think the wrong man won. The name of the game is EFFECTIVE aggression. Just coming forward doesn’t win rounds, or at least isn’t supposed to.
having said that, as much disdain I have for the arrogant muppet Hearn and how much I’d like to see him out of the sport of boxing, I do feel sorry for what’s happened to his image. To see him begging “his excellency” acting like an errand boy, a house boy, one of Al-sheikh’s eunuchs, it is really pathetic how low he’s allowed himself to sink just to sell his soul for 30 pieces of silver. And frank isn’t any better. Watching him next to “his excellency”, snickering, whispering in his ear, these British promoters have really lost respect. It’s embarrassing. Arum has a working relationship with Turki and you don’t see him sucking up like this. And I do hope Haymon stays away and chooses to be his own man

His excellency wants nothing to do with ****** al and his pos stable

so everybody wants a rematch then ?

[Fair & Square]

Eddie a sore looser! Accept the result like a man! How many times in the past your boxer won due to bam decision? You won right. Now you lost the massive income opportunity to promote the rematch between Canelo vs Bivol if Bivol won. Accept it too bro!

Edde Hearn should be banned from the sport for crying foul everytime his fighter loses a fight. SMDH

Hearn is becoming a pariah in boxing. Constantly degrading boxers, D riding Turki who’s paying all the bills, and constantly whining like a beech. It’s just a matter of time before some boxer says enough and slaps him in public. Matchroom fighters are losing at an alarming rate and Hearn should pay more attention to helping his fighters and less on running his mouth and degrading boxers he has no business with.

[Rockenator]

Hearn is so bias that he detracts from any fight once he opens his mouth. And the TV coverage was definitely bias in favor of Bivol as they rarely showed Bivol’s face getting hammered by Beterbeiv. It was a close fight with Beterbeiv being the aggressor and Bivol on his horse most of the night. I think Artur is obviously past his prime. Bivol is a superbly conditioned boxer without a knockout punch. If this was old school and fifteen rounds, I think Beterbeiv would have knocked out Bivol. Still - this was one of the best, action packed fights that I’ve seen in a long time.

If you banned every judge who has ever had a card that bad or worse, we'd be down to audience participation judging.

Also, when you look at his card round by round, no round stands out as egregious.

[factsarenice]

The Saudi war criminal is not a judge and of late Hearn backs mostly losers. Watched the fight three times over and even when trying to see a way Bivol won that fight, I just don't see it. He boxed well in spells but he was constantly unser the cosh. 116-112 was an accurate representation of the fight.

But you're cool with the American butchers murdering 250,000 Iraqi civilians for nothing.
