For the purist, there's no better boxer to watch imo. Absolutely love the bloke. Gave me one of my best nights ever watching boxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted Saturday at 23:14 Share Posted Saturday at 23:14 Felt very much like a CL semi final played at a very high level that ended in a 0-0 draw. With eye test I was leaning towards Bivol but feel I’m under qualified to score it accurately either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted Saturday at 23:16 Share Posted Saturday at 23:16 I thought Beterbiev won. It was close but I had Beterbiev winning it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted Saturday at 23:18 Share Posted Saturday at 23:18 To be fair how good a watch Bivol was. He never looked like knocking Beterbiev out. Guys a absolute machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He threw more but hit the gloves often and missed with a lot too. Bivol did much the cleaner work. He actually boxed really well, used his lateral movement to great effect and countered excellently throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a lot of Miguel Cotto tbh. Slightly different style but fundamentally flawless. Does everything very well and puts his combinations together beautifully. Also fights on the backfoot very well. Many similarities between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted Saturday at 23:25 Share Posted Saturday at 23:25 I'm surprised Connor Benn didn't enter the ring to challenge the winner with a crate of eggs on his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seen in cases of Bells palsy whatever damage has been done around his eye socket has broken that, he looks in a bad way there. Just watching it again. I'm guessing the face droop may have been more down to a broken jaw. The divit in his head was just next to the ear, top of the jaw. Didn't look nice either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted Wednesday at 09:36 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:36 I was thinking after watching such a highly skilled fight as Bivol and Berterbiev was. I can full understand why Virgil Hill wants Buatsi to have no part with either one of the Russians. You really are talking levels with those two.

Avfc96 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Yarde is back at the weekend. New promoter and now on Sky. But still the same old sh*t in regards to his opponent. Fighting a super middle for his third warm up fight since he got beat. Just throw him in with Buatsi FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
