    This is going to be some last round.

    Probably very similar to rd 11 but Bivol doesn't look like he has enough left to dodge all those punches for 3 minutes straight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,112 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Did Bivol even throw a punch in R11 ?;



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,998 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    draw at the moment, commentary v biased towards bivol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,112 ✭✭✭Damien360


    TNT has Carl Frampton and he has Beterbiev ahead.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,446 ✭✭✭bugler


    This is an interesting one

    8-4 Bivol for me but some rounds very close



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,019 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    The last two rounds can't change the ones before it, I think Bivol was too far ahead.

    That said, I wouldn't be surprised with the draw.

    I'd be more surprised if Beterbiev gets it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,210 ✭✭✭squinn2912


    Now I’d accept a draw as a fair call. Think he won the last two clearly



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭Sandor Clegane


    After these last two rounds Id give it to Beterbiev.

    Relentless pressure snf Bivol was really under it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,446 ✭✭✭bugler


    Shocked at the suggestion that Beterbiev's corner thought he needed a KO.

    Beterbiev looks like he could fight another few rounds. Bivol looks shattered.

    This could be a draw but I thought Artur nicked it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,998 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    draw is fair

    **** me. War criminals at ringside.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,112 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Beterbiev wins. One judge had a draw.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,889 ✭✭✭Brock Turnpike


    I could see a draw, but Beterbiev didn't win that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,210 ✭✭✭squinn2912


    116-112 is a fairly wide one for me. Trying to think of 8 rounds to give to Artur



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,112 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Great fight. Enjoyed that

    All right. I think I'm done with the Saudi connection now. Watching Kadyrov parade around the ring is too much.

    Beterbiev was the aggressor in the majority of that fight. In a tight fight, that counts for a lot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,889 ✭✭✭Brock Turnpike


    Beterbiev basically admitting himself he didn't win the fight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,424 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Beterbiev defo won last two rds….I had him 5-4-1 down with two to go…delighted he won…

    Remember that Artur the forward aggressor majority the fight, and some very difficult to score rds. Artur more controlled the flow….this was key



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,788 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Is that that Kadyrov wanker in the ring?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,110 ✭✭✭selectamatic




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,998 ✭✭✭newhouse87


    aggression from arthur got it, not nice to see chechyna leader with arthur though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,711 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    No arguments with the result but feel that Dempsey and Woodhall were really over egging how dominant beterbiev was. You'd swear he was nailing him with every punch. They looked at pressure alone rather than impact. Bivol was landing plenty but pace caught up with him the final few rounds.

    The shape of beterbiev at 39 is insane. He's a terminator.

    True to say not a mark on Beterbiev while Bivol’s eye is a nasty enough sight! But I’m sure Bivol thought he had the work done by 10. That 11th cost him dearly. 12th a bit better but he was well drained. Be interesting to see punches landed. Impressive in defeat
