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

[Kilburn]

I think both appreciated the quiet 7th round. Smith needs to get back to that left to the body, Buatsi struggles with it clearly.

[Ruthless-RKO]

What a way to open up this PPV!

[jameswilson]

Smith filling a lot of Buatsi’s gaps where he rests well.

Winning him a lot of rounds just from that.

[jameswilson]

What a way to open up this PPV!

Yup.

I know full well already that I ain’t gonna be regretting paying for this.

[Flump]

I have Smith 6-2, but I can still see late drama, Buatsi definitely in this, showing a hell of a chin.

[smiling assassin]

Smiths short left hook is straight out of a textbook. It’s near on perfect

[jameswilson]

Smiths short left hook is straight out of a textbook. It’s near on perfect

He’s one of the best tall fighters I’ve seen at being able to slug inside. Jamie McDonnell was another really tall guy who could mix it inside, it wasn’t a game changer if the opponent got inside on him.

[Kilburn]

These two might not be the best in the division, but you couldn’t ask for more grit.

[MightyWarrior]

Smith is a beast. Shows just how great Bert is to wallop him like that

[Deserter]

Good 9th for Smith - Hunter's advice for Buatsi in the corner is great IMO.

[gregregegg]

Surely smith is welll up here. Closer we get to the scorecards the more nervous I will get… not that I have a horse in the race just hate bad judging.

Yeah his whole inside game is very good more so as he’s a very tall and rangy fighter

[MightyWarrior]

This could be a bad knock out for Joshua he’s looking tired I hope not. I hope he goes the distance

[jameswilson]

Smith hurt.

2 rounds and 1 minute to go I think there’s late drama.

[MightyWarrior]

What a fight this is

There’s not gonna be a better fight tonight.

Or is there?

[Controversial]

Brutal. I can see Smith falling apart soon

[CaptainSpacerod]

Belting fight, Buatsi so tough but the better variety and classier work from Cal

7-3

[Deserter]

F**king hell lads. What an incredible effort.

[jameswilson]

Jesus wept this is why I love boxing.

Smith looked hurt most of the second half of the round and then lands absolutely huge roundhouses on Buatsi in the last 10 seconds.

Buatsi’s chin is unreal those are similar shots that absolutely pancaked highlight reel KOd some of Smiths other opponents.

[gregregegg]

Best fight I have watched in a long time.

[MightyWarrior]

Teo López looking like a dude

[MightyWarrior]

DAZN got it level

Mannix

I thought smith bossing it

[Kilburn]

Ultimately Buatsi has been too easy to hit, he has shipped a lot of hard shots here.

[MightyWarrior]

These two ….fukkin ell

[KiwiRider]

To take all that bodywork from Smith and come on strong this late is amazing
