Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol says he waited too much for 'perfect' moments against Artur Beterbiev

One thing I think we can all agree on - - it was a great action fight. Even though Bivol danced and ran all night, he came back with flashes and good combinations. I believe if he had won just one of the last three rounds that he would have been the winner. Still, I enjoyed the fight immensely with two very skilled boxers going at it.

Those CompuBox stats for Beterbiev seem crazy to me.

One word I kept using throughout the fight was "precision", dude was accurate throughout & looked like he wasn't wasting anything.

Anyone claiming that Bivol was somehow consistently making him miss would be laughed out of the building.

Bivol summed it up with his admission that Beterbiev bruised his face up through his hands, I think those shouldn't be classed as missed punches but we'd need a new category in punch scoring for that.

The reason it went twelve rounds is because he was so defensive minded, he already lost mentally before it started.

Well def not smart to be a stationary sitting duck against someone with 100% Ko ratio. Bivol fought a smart fight except for letting his foot off the gas in the closing rounds which ultimately cost him not getting the decision. Even still, lot folks think he should have won.

Felt kinda like he pulled a Loma and took his foot off the gas in the championship rounds, while Beterbiev closed like a champ.

all ya needed was 1 out of the last 3 rounds on the cards to change the result i think

Still would not have got the win. Draw at best. 2 judges gave it Beterbiev 1 gave it a draw. But its good to see all the robbery hype calm down amd more people come to their senses that Beterbiev won. Even Bivol accepted the loss not seen him make any excuses or blame the scorecard, that has come from either eddie or his team

Bivol shouldn’t sell himself short. Any and all non biased boxing fans know he won that fight.

The fix was in. Bivol was never going to win that fight unless he would have knocked Beterbiev out.

Artur didn’t do shit. I thought he looked both old and slow in there.

Also, he only fought in spurts. He would take the first two and a half minutes off before throwing any punches.

Which were either blocked, parried or slipped by Bivol.

Do the rematch with the other judges and Bivol wins easily.
