What lands counts. If it lands hard enough it takes the decision away from the ref and judges. That wasn't tonight.

Well, clearly thats not the case. "Traditionally" scoring shots might not hurt, but they can win you the fight. I still don't understand how one gave Artur 8 rounds. 8. Eight rounds. Like what?

Right, that's enough of that tripe. There's been worse instances, but this one still stinks. Wonder what the media run with tomorrow.

Obvious that judge is cuckoo for punches to the forearm

Raining poo on poor Eddie at the minute

I can already hear his post fight comments that bivol won.
Hang onto connor benn eddie. He'll be all you've got left. Jonah

Compare that to the two clowns eubank and benn earlier.
Chalk and cheese.

That pair of bellends need the pretend drama to drum up any interest in the fight. Neither of them are relevant at the top end.

Bivol and Beterbiev sell out every night of the week without trying. Proper champions.

Hopefully the chance of a potential trilogy here. Or at least a rematch. Please in Europe, though. Kills me this Saudi atmosphere.

Though, Bivol took Beterbiev the distance. Thats an achievment in itself. Crazy to add in he legitimately has a case for the win.

They are making the fights we want to see happen though. Throw enough money at the fighters........

Do you know which one was which?

 

[Dylan]

Right, now I am off satisfied to have watched an awesome fight, but also confused at the width of the result.

 

[Dylan]

I am not sure what you are asking. Myself, draw slightly leaning to a Bivol win.

I wanted Beterbiev to win pre-fight.

Neither at top end as you say, but would be boss though if it happened. Doubt Ubank truly wants it though.

 

[Dylan]

Maybe due to the fact Beterbiev didn't let Bivol fight his fight? And the final round Bivol was trying to tie up and eat up the time...

I can live with that. I had no obvious favourite so tried to call it as fair as I could. I saw it to Bivol by a round minimum or two rounds tops. I could see the draw and called it during the 12th.

The majority for Beterbiev was a no-no. Two to Beterbiev was just plain wrong, but four was fruit-loops. I also called the opening four closer than others did with a round or at least a share going to Beterbiev.

Agree. However, if Saudi didn't exist as an opportunity, are we saying these fights wouldn't happen? Not sure.
