Round-by-Round: Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol II | PPV - 22 February 2025

[MightyWarrior]

Got a five way bet starting off with Joshua to win on points - so that’ll not be happening now I’m guessing

It’s probably the most sensible pick on that one to be fair.

[skanksta]

It's guaranteed to either to be the best or worst fight on the card

I think our esteemed posters will be using words like "levels" to describe the fight afterwards.

a pet hate of mine.

Boxing is no more "about levels" than any other sport.
It's just more brutal the way the levels are demonstrated.

[smiling assassin]

Think Bivol wins this time. Think he will gain confidence from doing 12 with Beterbiev already

Who did you go with?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Think Bivol wins this time. Think he will gain confidence from doing 12 with Beterbiev already

Wasn’t it Beterbiev who gained momentum towards the end?

Can’t remember now

[deadpan]

I fear that Callum is there for the moolah alone.

[MightyWarrior]

Surreal, this should be a big fight in front of a roaring crowd ..and here we are in an empty room

[MightyWarrior]

Smith throwing a mean looking left hook

[MightyWarrior]

Joshua bit slow starting here, Smith means business

Yeah Beterbiev finished strong. I just think for Bivol, going 12 with the wrecking machine and knowing he can take the power will do wonders for his confidence

[Ruthless-RKO]

Surreal, this should be a big fight in front of a roaring crowd ..and here we are in an empty room

Would have sold out in London and Liverpool

[Kilburn]

Really good opener, Buatsi and Smith locking horns from the get go.

I thought this one would take some warming up but they both had other ideas.

[Kilburn]

Smith putting a lot into this early, too much maybe?

[coneye]

Bloody hell, I didn't realise that Joe Gallagher is still working given his diagnosis. What a man. Just him being there is really moving. All the best to him.

Yup.
Gets a lot of stick on here for somr reason ( ), but great stuff and good corner work just then
Mighty Mo seemed to really listen to him too.

What i like about Gallagher his fighters winning every rnd relativly easy . Where most trainers would be patting there back . Joe bollocks him and points out where he could be better

[Boxerbeetle]

Intriguing start, both having some success.

[skanksta]

Great stuff from both - high contact and could be 20-20

19-19 Smith hitting hard, Buatsi accurate.

[CaptainSpacerod]

Can't separate em says the comm

I can separate em pal, 2-0 to smith easy

[Flump]

2-0 Smith

Surreal, this should be a big fight in front of a roaring crowd ..and here we are in an empty room

Exactly the same as a Wembley Riyadh Season show.

[gregregegg]

This is great. Both throwing heat. Smiths body work is great.

This is a reminder how good boxing is at 154-175 with just normal sized dudes who are big enough to be big and strong but small enough to be Fit and fast.

[coneye]

Rmd 3 good even fight

Yep. 2-0
