Bivol won that more clearly than he "won" (he did!) the first fight.

7-5 last time 9-3 this time. Great stuff, let's see....

Edit. was actually 8-3-1 - 117-112

Do they? Bakole & Nelson just had a massive pay day & I’m sure Shalom & Bakole will have some sort of deal to get another fight with the Saudi’s.

I think most people are intelligent enough to know how important conditioning is especially after seeing Fury - N’Gannou.
Perception is reality. 99% of viewers know nothing about the background etc. They just saw Bakole get sparked in two rounds after waddling in looking like a lardarse.

It's not some 4D chess they've played here lol. Cash was grabbed, dice were rolled, it didn't work out.
Oh definitely. They’ve got the pay day they wanted. I just think they’ll have another fight lined up with the Saudi’s & it’ll soon be forgotten.

bert's only clear rounds for me were 4-6 and i dont think there were enough swings for him to draw or win the fight, he just couldnt muster enough against a mobile hitting and moving bivol

Another great match of skill, heart and courage.

Bivol should really have this but another close one.

Love both guys and was a joy to watch.

115-113 to Bivol for me but I thought rounds 2 & 3 were pretty close that I scored to Bivol.

Bivol was the better man tonight. Bert was not remotely impressive.

Have to say I had a smile on my face when I heard the scorecard and saw how much it meant to Bivol. Guys such a stud and deserves to be undisputed. I had him winning the first fight as well.

Please god can we make the trilogy.

You reckon? You are usually very good at scoring. Maybe I saw it a bit wrong - I am at 115-113 in favour of Bivol.

Yeah these fights were both close as hell. I'd like to see Bivol vs Benavidez first maybe, but I wouldn't be upset with a Trilogy fight either.

Nothing wrong with a rubber match - even if I think Bivol won both.
Still love Artur, but I think he's passed his peak.

I think anything from 114-114 to 116-112 Bivol is reasonable. It'd be hard to see Beterbiev winning 7 rounds I think.

Does anyone else have no interest in a trilogy? At 40 yrs old, Beeb should hang em up.

Did Bivol trick Berterbiev there?

Barely threw a right hand for 3 rounds between 4 & 6 which encouraged Berterbiev to pile on the pressure & empty the tank a bit?

He certainly had more in the locker in the later rounds this time round.

was 117-111 for me, a couple swing rounds so i can see it 115-113 if being very generous to bert, but just didnt see him put in the quantity or quality to draw or win

i had bert winning the first fight 115-114
