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

[dempseyfire]

Gosh your sold on him.
I've really wanted to see him against Parker because both are high volume guys and I bet it would be an all action affair.
I think DDD would have some success because Kab ain't super defensive.
Uysk would have his number.

Kabayal makes A LOT of mistakes but he is fast, fit, tough and very aggressive. He is a tough night for anybody. Will come unstuck, though, way too easy to hit.

Yeah he isn’t going to get away with walking into punching range over and over against the sharper guys out there. He hasn’t done a lot wrong so far but this can’t be his only game plan if he’s going to top the division.

Kayabel is a throw-back in that he doesn't look special just looking at him on film; his defense isn't great, he's not particularly fast or explosive, doesn't have one-punch power, not an impressive physique . . .but he's tough as nails and will get in your grill and wear you down unless you can stop him or outbox him. I don't think he could get past Fury or Usyk but Parker/Dubois/Joshua/Bakole are intriguing fights.

[Kilburn]

Sheeraz is probably a better matador than Adames is a bull, but he’s going to have to get stuck in at some point.

[gregregegg]

Alright Shiraz won that round.

Uk commentary are talking him up way way to much though for a guy that had landed Mabey 4 decent punches in 4 rounds…

[Riddick Bowie]

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

Congratulations, you win worst post of the night. Log off now and relax.

Prick and a c*nt, well done you.

You sound like a well educated man with a wide vocabulary.

4-1 Shiraz

Agreed, i'm finding it hard to score but those comms are going on like it's a shutout for Sheeraz

[gregregegg]

Incredibly negative from Shiraz (I mean if people have him winning that’s fair… but I have him down 4-1)

[Flump]

Close. Sheeraz needs to do more and hold his feet. It's there for him, but he needs to up the devil in his work.

There talking like utter wankers. Like Sheeraz is giving a masterclass

[MasterG]

Has josh Padley got any chance?

[Sammy Scaff]

Sheeraz sucking the life out of Adames.
Expect him to up the ante soon.

Middleweight division hasn't improved since the 1990s

[Kilburn]

It’s only Adames’ own effort than is taking anything out of him.

This might work for Sheeraz for 12 rounds but he’d better plan on improving as this won’t work with everyone.

57-57

Sheeraz had a good 4th round, Adames has done his best work of the fight in the 5th and 6th.

[MasterG]

Adames reminds me of Rod Douglas, and he isn't any better than Rod Douglas

[Jimmy2025]

Has josh Padley got any chance?

Punch from the gods or a freak injury can never be ruled out completely but other than that, absolutely not.

[Riddick Bowie]

Who is the worst WBC middleweight champion ever? Chavez Jr? Hacine Cherifi? This Adames guy?

[Flump]

I'm beginning to wonder if Sheeraz has frozen on the big stage, because this ain't good enough to take a title.

[gregregegg]

To me in a fight with not much landing sheraz has shown zero intent. And I have him way down.

[Sammy Scaff]

Sheeraz taking most of Adames punches on gloves and arms but not yet accurate enough with his punches when he gets an open goal

[Miguello]

Really hate the biased UK commentary.

Adames moving his head is making Sheerazh think.

[MightyWarrior]

this TNT interviewer is an irritating f4cker

he knows he has just a minute between rounds to get an opinion or two from a guest so why does he waffle on and on making his opening question last 30 seconds

He really is ..JD something…an insufferable bonehead

[golden_labrador]

Sheeraz hypnotising me with this clockwise circling
