How does someone write a piece so detached from reality? Everybody had Bivol taking the early rounds in this fight, including pundits and more importantly the judges, and as backed up by the punchstats.

NO, we don't need a third fight/ Bivol WON both fights.and He proved tonight He was above Beterviev. He outboxed Him, made him look as a simple pressure fighter who was incapable of penetrating his Defense.Asking for a 3rd fight will only shave years of their careers. In my view It proved Bivol was the best fighter.Thge first was a robbery and this one left no doubts whatsoever. let's be less selfish and let us see other fights, like Bivol or Betterviev Vs Benavidez or Morrell, or Canelo vs any of these guys.

I guess Fury-Wilder 3 was a waste of time too considering Fury won the first two, luckily for us the third was the best fight by far.

MulaKO … Greetings bruh, this was a good good fight.
Who do you think won the fight and you think we need a third fight?

I’ll be honest and say that giving it to Bivol doesn’t bother me cause he somewhat came
to fight
Scoring it I had Beterbiev ahead

I had 8-4 Bivol don't know why people a lot of people are adamant Beterbiev had control early rounds.

The 1st two rounds were some of the easier to score for Bivol.

7-5 Bivol in the first fight but couldn't really argue either way with the first fight.

Don't really see why we need a third, the gap is only going to widen.

What is quite "sad" is that whether Bivol will fight Beterbiev or Benavidez next, the IBF will strip him for not fighting the mandatory Eiffert... He could take that fight as a "recovery fight" in the summer after 2 brutal 12 rounders against Beterbiev and then have a big clash with Benavidez, still as technical undisputed in Jan/Feb next year

I haven’t watched the fight so I don’t have any opinions on who won. I’ll watch it this week.

I’m just not sure if a third fight is necessary. I mean, even if Beterbiev wins a close fight, what will it mean?. These two guys are evenly matched that a split decision win for either guy is just for historical analysis. It won’t separate them in the context of who is actually better.
It’s like Marquez and PAC. Marquez beating PAC in their 4th fight didn’t make him better than PAC.

So you don' t even watch fights, but you already cry how must Bivol fight Benavidez.

Go ahead, let’s be juvenile and continue with the ad hominem attacks. Can’t wait.
