Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev didn't like the fight, yet still beats brilliant Dmitry Bivol

[boxingitis]

The winner is who ever you "believe" won the fight. It's all an opinion based on preference.

Biev is not happy unless he gets the stoppage. As his record reflects. He is always looking to improve. Punch stats were basically even with Artur landing harder shots and controlling the fight, he was the aggressor and he made the fight.

You can't win a fight running all night unless you barely get touched. Bivol got beat up. His entire plan was to not get stopped, it was obvious. It isn't amateur boxing, more touches don't win a pro fight, the criteria is alot different.

I honestly think you are reading too much into someone who struggles with English making a comment after an emotional moment. I truly believe he meant that he could have done better and wasn't impressed with himself (qualities of a great, humble champion imo) and the thing he said about Bivol, I think he was implying that Bivol is more technically skilled, but he beat him aggresion, pressure, heart etc.

People are making way too much out of this. Fight could have gone either way. This article makes it sound like Bivol schooled the man...that's not what happened here. Period.

Lmao. Beterbiev speaks perfect English I’m from Montreal I’ve met him several times. There was nothing lost in translation.

lets start talking about what the fight showed us, who did it benifit besides the " W "

I believe it benifited Bivol more then Better he will get more out of this fight then Better did ..........Because he stuck to his fight plan he never got rocked buzzed or close to being knocked down, it was not bc Better did not have the punching power it was bc Bivol kept moving and did not let him land solid enough with a pure shot that would knock any fighter down. Bivol is not going to gain more power in his shots if they do rematch but Better will still posses his power but will that mean he can deliver it or convince the judges again ? If they have a second fight it will more interesting then the first, more will be revealed.......

Is Artur huge irl?

Bet a buff guy on television with the neck shoulders head arms torso and back

I’ve met David Benavidez offline. Looks huge on tv but is a slim tall mexican irl

Beterbiev thinks he lost the fight so did his corner that’s why he said god gave him a gift lol

Lol got that same feeling it was easy to see the relief on his face once got his hand raised, his corner knew whatsup too.

Bet’s crew the Chechens Akhmat Sila was in the house yesterday

Beterbiev and his team knew they had lost. It wasn't until the thug Razmat told them the cards were in their favor that they suddenly were all smiles.

boxing shady af

I too remember Floyd being confused when he heard the draw card

Richard said something into Floyd’s ear and calmed him down

boxing has 3 judges instead of 5 so they can corrupt scoring

[steeve steel]

Bivol DID NOT dictate the pace nor the flow of the fight. Beterbiev did, with his constant pressure and trowing 200 more for the same amount landed. Thus.. the victory!
