Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 - fight thread

[champion4ever]

Hands down, Bivol is just the better fighter. The only person who can defeat him is himself and father time. If one can last twenty-four rounds against Artur Beterbiev; Then chances are they have won the fight and is the better fighter.

Bivol should have defeated him the first time the two fought but we all know why he didn't. It was largely due to politics and Artur's faith. Just watch Turki's reaction to the scorecards.

He appeared very disappointed and sad that Artur lost. So obviously, he had a horse in the race. Then he turned to Beterbiev while holding up three fingers to his face for a trilogy.

Great fight!

It looked bad for Bivol between rounds 3 to 6. Artur seemed to run out of gas a bit after that but still hung tight to make it a very close fight.
Bivol lost the last round again. He's lucky it didn't cost him this time!

I thought once Bivol took over by the mid rounds; He never looked back. By that time the fight was a wrap. As Beterbiev had trouble landing anything cleanly or meaningful on him due to Dmitry's superior ring generalship. Which included his hand speed and foot movement.

Bivol just seems like a good dude. I thought he got jobbed in the first fight which was a disciplined boxing display.

This time he HAD to be more aggressive and throw more volume, because of the BS first fight decision, which in theory should have given Bertebiev more openings and opportunity to counter but he got it done again.

I was glad the right man won, and both fights were excellent which credit goes to Bertebiev for as well.

Now that is a great fight. Just boxing within the rules. No excessive holding or running. Both tough guys though Beterbiev clearly with heavier hands. Ton of heart in Bivol.

Bivol won 7 the first time and 8 the second time

he’d win 9 the third time

I’m not sure what Artur could do differently in the rematch

he started earlier this time and had a fully recovered knee which allowed him to regularly go to the body

But it wasn’t enough

and Bivol chin stood up to some of Artur’s signature shot CLEAN overhands [they were all partially blocked in fight 1]

Bivol barely clinched this time around. Frequent clinching in the trilogy and it’s Bivol 10-2 Artur
