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

[Flump]

Great effort from Josh. Life changing week for him.

[Sendo Takeshi]

I love how they changed the pace of this event.
They’re not wasting much time anymore.

[handsofstone]

All the usual cliches are cringe and I'm the worst but the balls on Padley man, was never in the fight, Stevenson controlled everything without getting out of 1st gear, boring and played with his food but anytime he lit Padley up Padley came back firing, tough bastard he is, the body shots in the 9th finally broke him though, Stevenson landed a left to the right side of the body for first knockdown, rare type of body shot KD, it was a right hand to the body that he Padley down a second time, other hand but same spot, shot to the pit of the stomach for the last KD, towel rightly come in, Padley brave until the end, Stevenson flatters to decieve again, won everything but didn't exactly shine

[Grilling Machine]

Are Saudis allowed to look interested?

They took a lot of interest in Bernard Hopkins ringside when they found out he was known as The Executioner.

Did they give him a hand?

[skanksta]

Wonder what purse Josh got for that fight.

Yes so do I !
Anybody that finds out - post it on here, ta.

[MightyWarrior]

Big Marty looks 50 years old

[a force]

Did anyone else think that round 9 was very ‘dodgy’?

From the wink at the start of the round from Cunningham’s assistant to Stevenson suddenly stepping it up & then the towel coming in with a couple of seconds left?

[gregregegg]

Bakole had a wife and 3 kids going into kindergarten.

[Grilling Machine]

Parker-Dubois was the fight I was looking forward to most. Hope Bakole's up for this and it comes alive.

[Riddick Bowie]

Think Parker's form is a bit overrated. Zhang performance doesn't look impressive after tonight and Wilder was always hopeless. If Bakole has any remnants of fitness from his last camp he should bash the always average kiwi.

[Boxerbeetle]

Really looking forward to this one

[Sammy Scaff]

Michael Hunter definitely shouting for Bakole. How frustrating is it that he's never featured at top level?

Yea, anyone above British level should outbox those two, but it showed a good ability to stay conscious…

[Sweet Dick Willie]

What the hell was Michael Hunters last fight

Fought povetkin and usyk.

[Grilling Machine]

Bakole in his dad pants again, ready to deal another whuppin'.

[Sammy Scaff]

Buffer got just 2 fights to announce and sounds like he's half asleep.

Fought povetkin and usyk.

Not for top honours.

[jameswilson]

Look at the size of Bakole’s head.

[handsofstone]

Bastarding size of Bakole

Fought povetkin and usyk.

Not for top honours.

Fought Usyk for the cruiserweight world title.

[gregregegg]

Bakole looking very dry. I guess they couldn’t waste cardio on a warm up…

[gilgamesh]

Bakole looking completely flat. Slow and lethargic.

1-0 Parker

Bakole doesn't look like he's in shape to compete at this level.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Too bad Bakole isn't in shape.

[gb]

The elastic in Bakole's waistband is earning it's money tonight.
