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

[4truth]

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.

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.

We cant really call any close fight a robbery 'per se' but the decision should've been given to Bivol yes indeed but hey, now a rematch is justified so we get more if we look the bright side.

How is the issue of these bad judges fixed? There's not much accountability.

Eddie Hearn is a jinks to his fighters. Da La Hoya says it's a real thing (in a YouTube video). I didn't believe him, but the pattern this year is undeniable. Bivol needs to ditch him.

No robbery, but anyone who believes Beterbiev won more than six rounds is on Crystal meth.

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

No robbery. No problem with Beterbiev winning. My problem is 116-112 (8-4). Anyone who can find eight rounds for Artur can also find hen's teeth on a Manhattan sidewalk. I would have had no problem with a draw,but Bivol hung himself by backing up constantly the last three rounds. Only Floyd could get away with fighting on the back foot.

I didn't "make that up". He didnt say it in his immmediate post fight interview, but he admitted that more pressure was needed to impress the judges subsequently: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=374992572264403

In any case, even if he didnt say it it was evident when watching. I've been watching boxing a long time and watched this fight very closely. It was a very good fight.

Beterbiev also didn't say he didn't deserve it. He just acknowledged that it was close. As he has KO'd everyone and didn't KO Bivol that's understandable. His corner told him he needed a KO, but they're not judging - they're just trying to get the most out of their fighter - what are they supposed to say - "cruise, this is already wrapped up"?

He doesn’t say anything you claim he said in this clip dude lmao. You made that up then posted a clip that doesn’t contain any receipts trying to back up your made up “fact” foh. Like why would u do that? You are just making things up to fit the scorecards lol. Beterbiev literally said “I wasn’t very good tonite Dimitri has better skills but today allah chose me”. That’s literally saying “I don’t win but I got the decision cause I’m favoured by god”. I’m not saying it wasn’t a good fight but artur didn’t win 7 rounds and everyone who was watching who knows boxing knows that too. The scorecards were bought and paid for. Don’t believe me? Just look at beterbiev with Kadryov. Then look at the judges. A Chechen judge with 116-112 beterbiev card? Lmao it’s literally not hard to see what happened. If you don’t know who Roman kadryov is I suggest you look him up

Poor Eddie having a tough year isn't he! Fisheyes on a roll owning him bad win after win. Eddie just frustated at this point.

[Gamboal00]

I rewatched it. Bivol kinda decisively won 8 rounds so the outcome was wrong. No way he lost that.

I bet on Beterbiev to win as well lol. Oh well.
