I was listening to this fight in radio. The commentary was making out bivo l was losing.After 10th round, commentary was making out bivol.needed last 2 rounds to get a draw?

[thack]

I had it the other way around in favour of Beterbiev , I picked Bivol to win but thought he lost by two he looked to be going on a few occasions and stopped throwing the right hand for a few rounds . He got off to a better start and looked good but faded too much mid fight . Trilogy is hopefully more emphatic either way.

Dmitry Bivol’s ability to absorb Artur Beterbiev's power while conserving energy exemplified his boxing intelligence and strategic execution. By walking the tightrope between age of war defense and offense, he not only survived the middle rounds but also seized control in the later stages of the fight, ultimately leading to a commanding performance. This fight highlighted Bivol's skills as a tactician and his capacity to manage the dynamics of a high-stakes boxing match.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Dmitry Bivol tactically fought the same fight 'Which he does always, he just executed it to a very high level. Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman, literally fought in a manner which no boxing analyst, hardcore boxing fan or current professional fighter at the time could conceptualize'.

There are no fight predications that exist which suggest Muhammad Ali should move towards the ropes vs George Foreman, and attempt to fight him from that position. But in comparison there are many fight predictions, ether suggesting or anticipating Dmitry Bivol to use the tactics which he used vs Artur Beterbiev I & II'.

Note: So I would agree with about 50% of what Timothy Bradley is saying 'Of course the fight which Bivol fought vs Beterbiev II, was an extremely impressive and super executed fight. But it was no surprise that he fought that way, or inconceivable that he could achieve such a win in that manner. People also need to acknowledge that it was still a very close fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Betervbiev II. Whereas Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman in retrospect was not really a close fight, to the same level'.

Ringside during the fight action back in October 30th 1974 'Ken Norton who was watching and commentating on the fight. Stated after a few rounds, that he believed Muhammad Ali was going to beat up and force a stoppage vs George Foreman. Norton could see that effectively Ali was systematically beating up Foreman off the ropes. Which demanded a tremendous amount of skill and composure, while so close at all times to one of the most brutal Heavyweight fighters of all times George Foreman. Muhammad Ali was simultaneously switching between defensive and offensive attacks, with a very high level of accuracy and tactical awareness'.

To conclude: Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev II although it was a great win 'It is still nowhere near the level of Muhammad Ali's victory vs George Foreman. Bivol was not as dominant vs Beterbiev, and in reality? He fought his usual fight, which is a classical boxing fight from mid to long range skill for skill. In this modern day boxing era, I would rate Oleksandr Uysk's four wins over both Tyson Fury I & II and Anthony Joshua I & II as skill for skill more impressive wins pound for pound, both from a share physiological and technical skill perspective they are greater wins than Dmitry Bivol's win over Artur Beterbiev II' etc.

Fight 3 will be the real Last Crescendo

anticipating the adjustments each will make

Artur has yet to show the ability to KEEP Bivol on the inside

Bivol 9-3 Artur in a fight with many competitive rounds

[elfag]

both fights were very close

honestly i didnt score round by round for either. i wanted to see beterbiev win so im biased from that perspective anyways but i like both guys


big difference was second fight i seen beterbiev get tired down the stretch and his punches didnt have the same effect late on bivol either. that is not a good sign for fight 3 when he will be even older.

i would be fine with them skipping fight 3. bivol pulled it off but i wonder if this will shorten his career, assuming next fight goes 12, thats 36 rounds with beterbiev.... now hes close to mid 30s himself. look at fury even though he won his trilogy with wilder you can argue it took a lot out of him

Bivol better defensively than Fury and stays focused between fights

Fury was put on his ass twice in fight 1 then twice more in fight 3

Tyson decline is a combo of wear and tear + not giving a uck
