Arguably one of the biggest fights in boxing, Bivol slight favourite with the bookies.

Beterbiev the slight favourite in the RebelBhoy household.

Nobody is going to call anyone a clown for making any prediction in this fight as absolutely anything could happen.

In the Crawford Vs Spence fight I heavily favoured Crawford. I loved the idea of that fight but it went the way I thought it might.... this one.... no clue. It's just a guess to say Beterbiev. I might change my mind in a bit.

Who you got?

It's a tough call man. Beterbiev has been wobbled and down in the past but he's a wrecking ball, ko'd everyone he's faced and a phenomenal boxer himself. Bivol imo has one of the best jabs in boxing, used it brilliantly to throw Canelo off his game and his footwork is superb, these can't be over-looked. Bivol on points for me, just.

2/3 of people i speak to about this are of a similar view to you. I thought it would be closer in terms of how people viewed the fight. You make very good points.

Very good close fight but that 116-112 scorecard was a joke.

I thought Bivol won a close fight. High quality stuff

I don't know. All the close rounds get scored one way and it can happen.

Fwiw I had 114-114.

Brilliant ffight.2 brilliant fighters.

It lived up to the hype.

 

[Up Cork!]

Good decision as far as I’m concerned.
Wouldn’t have been disgusted with a slender Bivol win but didn’t get the Sky scoring. Opening rounds by no way that clearcut and Rd 11 was one way traffic enough to possibly be 10-8 Beterbiev.

Hope they run it back, 2 amazing fighters. One of the judges only giving Bivol 4 rounds is very harsh imo but he took it on the chin pardon the pun in the post fight interview. Credit to the Saudi's for putting on these massive fights but fuck me, the atmosphere is brutal.

The big Turki has said he wants the rematch.... I guess that means it will happen.
