2 of the judges gave beterbiev the first round. Thats how it was a robbery. 14 punches landed by bivol to 4 by artur. It wasn’t a swing round it was a CLEAR round for bivol that was scored incorrectly. There’s a couple other rounds that fall into this category but I’ll just stick with round 1 as that in itself explains the “robbery” sentiment

It was a close fight. A draw was OK with me. But Beterbiev was substance as opposed to Bivol's appearance. As I wrote in another thread, this situation reminds me of Hagler vs Leonard. In that circumstance, judges rewarded appearance. Not this time.Comment

Your argument is weak when you feel the need to outright lie.Comment

Lmao I got the round wrong my apologies I was thinking of round 3. Beterbiev was outlanded and lost the round cleanly. You could possibly say that beterbiev landed more power punches that round. But then that doesn’t explain how round 4 was scored if you want to play it like that as Bivol landed many more power punches in round 4 and that was still scored for beterbiev. Explain the Chechen link. Beterbiev and kadryov. The Chechen judge. If you think none of it had anything to do with the result you obviously have no idea who ramzan kadryov is lolComment

No, I'm just telling that it was not a clear Bivol win as Worsell describes it.

To argue that's a clear Bivol round is asinine, it's not even asinine it's just flat out insanity.
There is no rounds where Beterbiev was given a clear Bivol round. Not one. That's just frankly a lie.
The only one that's even arguable is Round 4 where one of the three judges gave it to Beterbiev when Bivol likely won it, but even without that round Beterbiev still wins the fight on the cards.Comment

Well actually he did if you see his reaction and his corner reaction after the final bell as he walked back to his corner they think they lost it. Bivol on the other hand is celebrating like he won. I think Bivol won by two clear rounds.Comment

this thing about corners celebrating a close fight meaning they thought they won - people reading too much into that - they always do that anyway. Beterbiev's corner probably a bit down realising they now have to go to the scorecards in a close fight - before he never needed the judges
and Worsell making a whole article out of beterbiev's few words and then interpreting it [poorly] to fit the agenda of how he saw the fight - I scored first 2 rounds to Bivol largely because Beterbiev didn't throw much - 3rd rnd to Artur - then i scored it the same as judgesComment

People crying robbery and saying Bivol haven't posted how they scored the fight for Bivol or what the cards were actually supposed to be.
IMO, Bivol lost it in the last 2 rounds where he was visibly hurt and on the run. That's a two point swing.Comment
