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

[Controversial]

The Joe Joyce wins flattered Zhang, he’s very limited and just packs a big punch. He’s gonna get stopped

[Boxerbeetle]

Chopped him down

[golden_labrador]

wow. monster slayer..and he's not small anyway

[Boxerbeetle]

Wilder's resume just looks worse and worse, doesn't it

[Sendo Takeshi]

Damn, my boi Agit got balls

[Kilburn]

Zhang succumbs to the body shots. The signs were clear that he was facing his worst nightmare there.

Another scalp for Kobayel, boy does this fella love to get down to work.

[handsofstone]

Zhang couldn't handle the smoke, Kabayel doing what he does

[Miguello]

Kabayel might be the best body puncher at heavyweight

[Flump]

Another solid win for Kabayel, Zhang was knackered and basically quit.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The Joe Joyce wins flattered Zhang, he’s very limited and just packs a big punch. He’s gonna get stopped

I agree.

He’s a puncher!

[Fearful_Freddie]

Beatdown by Kabayel. Impressive.

[Glass Joe]

Johnny fisher would have beaten Zhang tonight. Age catches up with everyone

[Fearful_Freddie]

Think Big Bang swallowed that. Gave up.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Damn!

Kabayel on a great run!

Shame he wasted years after that Chisora win.

That was 2016!!!

Damn!!!

[handsofstone]

A rare heavyweight body KO, love it

[golden_labrador]

Zhang on oxygen on his stool

[Fearful_Freddie]

Usyk next?

How to fall back in love with boxing again in one easy move

Worth buying the card just for this fight alone - such guts from both fighters. Buatsi so bloody tough, but Smith just seemed to want it that much more. I thought he was ready to go in the 11th, but I think that big combination he landed about a minute into the 12th killed off Buatsi's momentum at the perfect time.

Buatsi really reminds me of Howard Eastman in the sense that he's got so much quality, but for whatever reason just doesen't appear able to go through the gears when it really matters.

Genuinely happy for Smith, not just in terms of returning from the wilderness to win, but the manner in which he did it. Gave everything and hope he gets one last massive payday off the back of this.

Yeah that’s a really good comparison to be fair. Eastman was really long and slim too had really skinny arms and torso, not that over the top muscle bound look. Buatsi isn’t quite as lazy as Eastman was but does switch off in rounds for too long which Smith took advantage of. Arthur Abraham used to fight in bursts too and Carl Froch exploited that by just steamrolling him.

I love the last round of Eastman v Joppy it just sums Howard Eastman up he was in no hurry at all despite being behind on the cards, got his leg tangled in the rope and cool as a cucumber unfurled it and then sticks Joppy on his arse with 5 seconds left. Still not quite enough unfortunately.

Good memory re. the Joppy fight! Eastman really was an enigma.

[smiling assassin]

Usyk next?

I’d prefer him against DDD. He don’t deserve Usyk yet

[TheLeprechaun]

Could this have really been the Kabayel era all along?

Who beats him?

[KiwiRider]

That was very poor from Zhang. He was knackered after 4 rounds.
Gutsy from Kab. To be in range all the time.

Top top call likening him to Eastman.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Usyk next?

If Parker loses, Agit is the only one that makes sense.

[gregregegg]

Usyk next?

I’d prefer him against DDD. He don’t deserve Usyk yet

Parker (if he wins) vs usyk.

Kab vs DDD

Bakole vs Zhang (if bakole loses)

That’s how I would role if I was the all powerful overlord Mr Turki…

Who beats him?

Uysk for sure, maybe DDD, and Parker would be a pickem.
