Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol's team express their frustration following Artur Beterbiev fight

[jereme12]

All judges scored 3rd round for Beterbiev when it was clear Bivol's round - go watch the tape. Obviously, the judges had orders and they followed them.

Poland is assisting as much as possible the people of Ukrainian against Russian Imperialist Aggression. Bivol was on a World stage shouting out to Russia moments before he was judged by a Poland citizen. Some call it Karma my folks say God don’t like ugliness besides that Bivol did not run fast enough to win Betrrbiev hunted him down putting a hurt on Bivol

Beterbiev hunted Bivol down and put a hurt on Bivol

Bivol arms must be very sore from all those punches he blocked all night, even Frank Warren had it for Bivol by a couple rounds,, but I guess for casual fans the winner is the one that throws more punches, not the one that lands more not to mention cleaner shots,,compubox give Bivol 6 rounds and 5 to Beterbiev and one draw, the point is you can’t expect a decision in your favor against a ****** in a ****** country plain and simple

You do realize Artur landed more punches correct? People who talk about others being casuals to try to fit their narrative are almost always the ones who really are the casuals. Slow motion video of the fight has already disproven what was initially seen. In that a lot of the punches most deemed “blocked” actually got through the guard and landed. You do realize as well compubox is a subjective measure scored from someone’s couch at home correct? As well as nearly every round was scored to be within 4 punches for either fighter. But hey, whatever fits your narrative correct?

Beterbiev lost this fight. He looked very old to me. He lacked the same amount of stamina as usual also.

Likewise, he was a lot slower and looked like an over all aging fighter. He was more reluctant in letting his hands go as well.

For example most of his power punches were either blocked, parried or slipped by Dmitry Bivol. Artur was plodding Dmitry across the ring without letting his hands go or cutting it off.

Which is the reason why his corner panicked and told him he needed a knock out in order to win the fight. They knew their man wasn’t doing enough to win the fight as Bivol was constantly beating him to the punch.

He lacked a sense of urgency. However, in the grand scheme of things it wouldn’t have mattered either way. The fix was already in.

Bivol was never going to win this fight on points or on the scorecards. He was going to have to knock Beterbiev out in order to win it. That was the plan all along.

What a rotten sport that I just so happen to love? It’s fights like these which is why boxing is no longer a mainstream sport.

It has lost a lot of its popularity over the past 25 years or so among casual fans.

For Artur Beterbiev Christmas came early. He was awarded an early Christmas gift by the judges.

I love how Bivol's team tried aging this dude out, they STILL lose and now they're crying like Grandma in church on Sunday.

Shut the f--k up and do better in the rematch.

If they fight again soon Beterbiev might get the KO, or Bivol might get the decision. Both are top fighters so who knows.

His team and his fans are b****** about it more than he is. He lost. He accepted the loss. Boxing needs to get over it and move on the right man won

It’s not just Bivol’s fans, a ton of impartial people believe the wrong guy won. And here you are being a bish about that.
