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

[Ruthless-RKO]

Getting spicy now

[Grilling Machine]

I got 3-0 Bivol.

If he doesn't get stopped I can only see him winning wide.

[TempleSlave]

Early days but Biv looking good. Really skilled and switched on. Beterbiev stalking but lacking in skills or speed departments.

[JxhDel.]

30 - 27 Bivol, always moving and hitting with fast one-one-twos, minimising the thuds of Beterbiev.

[Boxerbeetle]

3-1

[IrishGuy]

Really could do with some bodywork, both headhunting bar the odd spike by bivol

[Flump]

3-1 Bivol

[gregregegg]

close round.. i almost though bivol had the better punches but that pressure was relentless. hard for me to judge that one.

[Kilburn]

Hmm the 4th seemed like Bivol’s but Bert stepped it up at the end. Could be 3-1 or 2-2.

Bert seems focussed on wearing Bivol down, Bivol is just looking to win a round at a time.

Cracking little boxing match.

[Cholo_cws]

Lovely defensive work from Bivol thus far.

[TempleSlave]

Bivol rather passive in the 4th but still in full control
Bivol 4:0

[Kilburn]

Clear 5th round for Beterbiev.

[IrishGuy]

Felt like potential turning point

[IrishGuy]

Beterbiev been so patient, turned it on and it looked significant

[forcefraser]

Great round. He's softening Bivol up now

[Ruthless-RKO]

Nice body shot from Bert. Bivol felt that.. clear round

[handsofstone]

5th tough to score Bivol landed more but Beterbiev more damaging

[Boxerbeetle]

3-2, both hurt each other a little. Regardless of who wins, genuine elite level skills on show, great stuff.

[The Gratest]

The tide is turning. Biev's a relentless machine.

[TempleSlave]

Probably Beterbiev round but still close
Bivol 4:1

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bert going to the body more now.

Nice work

[Fearful_Freddie]

Not sure who's winning this but it's great.

[forcefraser]

Got it level now. Bert taking over

[Boxerbeetle]

Tough round to score, both had success.

[IrishGuy]

Should of gone body earlier, feels like bivol is feeling it more, using his legs a lot and less return fire
