Round-by-Round: Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol | PPV - 12 October 2024

[golden_labrador]

Briedis made a good point on Twitter that usually when someone hurts themselves they hold the injured bit, Whittaker just lay there

that made me think he was paralysed

[Coco]

I'm sure 95% of us don't care that's it's women, we just want good fights..?

That was TV poison.
I've seen some great women's fights that I've really enjoyed, it's just that it's so bloody rare !
9/10 women's fights don't deliver.

Genuinely enjoyed Pat Butcher v the Aussie titster

[Heldenjaeger]

NextGen is such a daft nickname at his age.

He used that early on in his career, he's still announced as NextGen Eubank?

[handsofstone]

You've got to laugh at Eubank Jr, dressed like a Saudi, wasn't long ago he was wearing a Pride armband at the Smith weigh in after Liam made homophobic comments

Not everyone is virtue signalling and trying to make political statements with the way the dress. He just likes to polarize, I guess.

That replay...

I swear Quittaker ( ) looked backwards for a second to check where the ropes were.
He was planning it !

this is my view entirely, I admire anyone who fights - but that fight was dire. They devalue world titles with that dross.

[SeanBrennan]

Liam has done so well, shown the whole sport's PR drivel up for what it is.

[Kilburn]

Does anyone else think from watching those replays again that Whitaker actually pulled Cameron over the rope with him, like he wanted to create the weird injury situation?

exactly.

yes, Brummy PR boy quit. Hype train derailed.

[Kilburn]

Szeremeta got that serene AJ confidence.

That's exactly what my first impression was but the stream I was watching at the time wasn't very good. Finally found something high quality.

[JC]

Caught the last few rounds, awful viewing, hope Turki sees sense

turki is like a 5 year old just picking this one vs that one .

FFS eubank should not be on this card

I've always enjoyed watching Jnr fight, more entertaining than his bad, dunno why they haven't offered him a bigger fight, suppose he is with Shalom though.
Not sure why Shalom has been brought on board, maybe he wants the Clarke fight.
I expect Benn v Eubank in Saudi before long

I think they wanted him vs Sheeraz on the Wembley card but he wanted a tune up type fight.

[Heldenjaeger]

What was Banks thinking? What's that thing on is head?

no doubt turki will put CEJ vs Benn for a bit of hype.
Cant stand the pair of the kunts

[keithmoonhangover]

Presumably with Jonathan Banks, Eubank is going to take centre ring

[Heldenjaeger]

Say what you want about Eubank, more action and entertainment in the first minute of the first round than in 10 rounds of high level female boxing.

[Delta Jay]

Shades of Hopkins in the Smith Jr fight from Whittaker

For two blokes falling over the top rope, it appeared almost graceful. I agree with whoever predicted Whitaker will make a surprisingly quick recovery (once he is allowed to leave hospital of course…).

That’s me and you can quote me on it

The ropes seemed very slack. You see guys leaning all over each other on the ropes without that happening.

Certainly does. Don't see people fold over the ropes that easily and then his response to it looks suspicious too.

[veriton]

Here we go again with the Skye haters. She's been the most talented boxer on this card so far.

[Kilburn]

Eubank looking pretty good, but realistically over the next couple of years it’s surely only going downhill? Is he really going to be in the prime of his career at 37 or 38?

[Heldenjaeger]

Here we go again with the Skye haters. She's been the most talented boxer on this card so far.

Show me one hateful comment.

I liked it, but I get it. You’d say the same if two lads had the same fight. I can watch a stylist/slicks tee in a boring fight and love it, I loved a lot of Floyd’s later bouts.
