Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol gains revenge to tee up trilogy with Artur Beterbiev

[Lance98]

Beterbiev clearly won the 1st fight, bivol clearly won this fight. Beterbiev is slow. I think he should retire or he is going to get run over by faster and more aggressive guys like benavidez.

correct scores for fight 2 wouls have been

117-111
116-112
115-113

Bivol won anywhere from 9 to 7 rounds NOT 8 to 6

I had bivol 1-3 beterbiev 4-5 bivol 6-11 beterbiev 12. Some people gave beterbiev the 6th but I think that’s being generous. I also thought the rounds beterbiev won were much closer than the rounds bivol won. Beterbiev is also a DIRTY fighter. He went below the belt several times and was clearly punching to the hip on several occasions. He felt the fight getting away from him and resorted to some slick tactics. Bivol will beat him worse in the 3rd match

No no no no no no no no this is the problem with you so called fans . Go watch the amateurs If you like that . Pro boxing is based on different point system. That’s just the way it is …………..Things will never be the same………that’s just the way it is……….oh yea

Pro boxing is scored on “effective” aggression, defense, clean effecyive shots (punch accuracy), and ring generalship.
I wasn’t mad about the first one going to Beterbiev because he landed to the body and even though he mostly was landing on the gloves, he was effective.

Bivol was way busier this time and beat him in every category, including ring generalship. Beterbiev followed him around like a dog on a leash and never got anything going.

Boxing is boxing. Learn the game. Oh yea!

Bivol is a dirty mofo himself

having dirty tricks up your sleeve and spoiling tactics is invaluable for pure boxers

sometimez opponents can just walk right through that lack of power Maidana-Floyd Artur-Bivol

We differ on round 6. I had that one for Artur

Bivol chilled in round 4 but started to turn it up in rounds 5 and 6.

pacing will be the most interesting part of the trilogy

Artur wants to save his load for the 2nd half this time

but by doing so he risks Bivol sweeping the first half

I believe Artur's best rounds in fight 3 will be 7 8 9 but Bivol sweeps the championship rounds this time too

Funny you have artur round 6 as if I was to give him a fourth round it also would have been the 6th I found that round very close. Great eye.

dude you drunk or high haha

lol I was drunk . I have a blast talking crap on here . Thanks buddy

Bivol outlanded him in punches 9 rounds to 3 and in power power punches 7 rounds to 4 with one round being tied. This wasn’t a close fight this is so dumb people can’t score a fight this is hilarious smh

Something tells me you're just Bias for Bivol. If your favorite fighter was champion and chasing the challenger all over the ring landed more power punches and still didnt get the decision,im SURE you would be singing a different tune.You would never admit that though smh

Bro I just showed u the stats. What more do u need? And beterbiev didn’t chase anyone bivol caught artur on the ropes a lot and answered anytime beterbiev landed. I have no bias I just like great fights and this was a great fight. That doesn’t change the fact by any measure and scoring beterbiev LOST. You wanna say he landed more power punches? Only in 4 rounds though. In 7 rounds Bivol landed more power punches. So by the power punch metric Bivol wins. Total punches Bivol outlanded in 9 rounds compared to arturs 3. So by that metric Bivol also clearly won. Any bias is by YOU. You can’t accept it that your guy clearly lost by any metric lol. Me..neither is my guy I just call it how it is
