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

[gregregegg]

bivol very tight or draw.

I normaly dont score pressure as much, but it was effective pressure really.... if the fight went forever who would you rather be end of round 12.... bert for me on that. Still not enough for me to overturn the crisp work from bivol, just enough to make me think a draw isnt a bad result.

[Sendo Takeshi]

That fight was what I expected from Spence vs Bud.
Could actually go any direction, even a draw.

[MightyWarrior]

Bivol, wotta boy

[Grilling Machine]

Credit to Bert, who had more in his tank than I thought. I've Bivol close but clear.

[hbg]

I have it even 114-114. Beterbiev looked better than I expected.

[golden_labrador]

bloody hell Ramzan Kadyrov

[bradinho]

If boxing heart wins then its bivol

[qatarm]

Shocked by the result

[Kilburn]

I thought the judges would reward Berterbiev’s work more.

It’s fair for me.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Had a feeling there would be a bit of shaft involved..

[Coco]

Got Beter by 2, but there were so many close rounds, Beter threw more punches and was more aggressive

[TempleSlave]

I think Bivol seals it in the 12th. Conservative 7:5 Bivol for me but let’s see. Otherwise, terrific fight. Not the most crowd pleasing but level was sky high. Hardly any mistakes from either of them.

[forcefraser]

Poor bivol. One card was real bad

[vostok]

This fight deserves a draw. If not, Bivol.

Bullshit decision. I see they have that murdering Chechen bastard Kadyrov in the ring too. Bivol won that.

[ShadrachSimmo]

bloody hell Ramzan Kadyrov

I thought that was him.

Bullshit decision. I see they have that murdering Chechen bastard Kadyrov in the ring too. Bivol won that.

reality bites. oh man, I feel dirty now watching any of these Saudi events

[Boxerbeetle]

Can't really complain too much, those middle rounds were razor close. Great fight.

[Ruthless-RKO]

When they read 116–112 I really thought they would give it Bivol.

[Delta Jay]

No losers here.

[skanksta]

Bivol a bit robbed there !?

He was sensational - diffused the monster with workrate, movement.
Landed more, "ring-generalshipped" more and had a better defence. A couple of shaky moments of course, but he always came back with something and seemed to edge most rounds and the fight as a whole.

[funso banjo baby]

I'd much rather the boxer who comes forward wins.

Bivol runs all night

It's annoying

[NazNaci1]

Thought Bivol knicked it but it was close.

[Ruthless-RKO]

First 4 rounds didn’t have much in them.
