Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol files protest over undisputed fight's scoring

[robbyheartbaby]

Oh Bivol don’t please you fought so well and just came up short we already got Haney s*** going on this is not how you win

If you watch it again you will see many punches from Biev were landing through the guard, or just partially blocked.

It isn't the amateurs. Running to not get hurt and pitty pat flurries don't count as much in the pros as pressing the action, hard shots, aggressivevness. And Artur blocked many Bivol shots as well and boxed very well.

The only I disagree with you on is Bivol running. I saw lateral movement and counter punching. Sometimes he would even try to be the aggressor but at times he just stood there and that’s when most of beterbiev punches were hitting shoulder or arms but beterbiev is so strong he was able to split the guard at times as well. I thought bivol edged it because I gave him first 3 rds like most but the judges gave artur rd 3. If the judges score rd 3 for
bivol we have a split draw but I have no problem with the outcome.

Lack of understanding around here. The lawsuit is a great promotional gimmick probably funded secretly by Al-the-Turki himself.

I see. Pay lawyers your hard earned money for a promotional gimmick. I must have thrown my understanding and common sense out the window long ago. Thank you for helping me understand better.

Let me how back to law school and take a continuing education law class on promotional gimmicks because that wasn’t in the curriculum back then.

Of course you would. Should have bet your condo on Bivol.

Your conclusion doesn't logically follow.

If this leads to the rematch then more power to him. Beterbiev did not win that fight. They will need to do it again to get the questions answered.

[champion4ever]

An immediate rematch should be in play because the wrong man won. He knows it. His team knows it as well.

This fight was not even close or a Draw. Bivol was both the clear and decisive winner of this fight.

He was done very foul, dirty and wrong by those three judges. He beat Artur Beterbiev up but still lost the fight.

[champion4ever]

Beterbiev won and deservedly so. Don't get the fuss about 116-112 either. Let's say each guy won 4 clear rounds each, with 4 rounds that could easily be scored either way, give those same rounds to one guy and you get 116-112. Now, never mind that, you can have a fight that all 12 rounds are close, practically even, and score every round for the same guy if you slightly prefer his work, therefore, you'd score a fight that was close 120-108, and the score would be fine. People look too much into scorecards to determine how close a fight was. As stated, a fight scored 120-108, could, in theory, be a closely contested fight. P.S. Stop crying Hearn, your boy lost.

You said that Beterbiev won. I don’t know how because I didn’t have him winning no more than four rounds in this fight.

Five at the most if one is being generous. All the rounds that Bivol won were very decisive. While on the other hand;

The rounds that Beterbiev won were very questionable and close because he fought in spurts and with a low work rate.

Given that Beterbiev won R10/11/12 very decisively, then you are saying you had Bivol 8-1 ahead after 9 rounds! Nash out - His Excellency

[R.I.P Chico]

Bivol took his loss like a real man. I had it a draw (leaned to Beterbiev because of championship rounds). But i watched the fight again without commentary and gave Bivol 4 or 5 rounds. They are evenly matched fighters with their own styles. But Beterbiev is a genetic specimen. What is in the water down there in Dagestan?
