I had it 7-5 Beterbiev. 6-6 draw is ok too. I cannot see a Bivol win. If Beterbiev sweeps 10/11/12 that means to get to a Bivol win you would need to have it 7-2 after 9. That just did not happen.

didnt even win the 10th in my opinion 7-5 bivol but it was super close

No way Beterbiev won rd 10. Bivol hit him like 2x with like 3-4 piece combos cleanly. Beterbiev then maybe got a hit off of Bivol. Beteriev is just a freakin tank.

If the wrong man won it’s a robbery. If I break into your house and steal 5$ or 5000$ it’s still a robbery. Who landed more shots per round? Add up the rounds that’s who won. There weren’t any knockdowns and there wasn’t any rounds where they landed the same amount of shots.

[@thanevakarian9762]

@@kyw_88lol it’s not hard. There’s 12 rounds. You score each round. Who landed more shots per that round then add it up. If you count cleanly landed shots per round. Bivol won 7-8. That’s still pretty close but clearly the wrong guy won lol. When someone has something taken from them it’s called theft or robbery even if it’s only a couple rounds and tbf the judge who took 3-4 rounds from Bivol robbed him even worse. Hope Turk loads this on his channel like the other fights so you guys can go back and watch it a round at a time but then again you’ll probably score Arturs one shot over bivols combo counters cause “RING GENERALSHIP BROOOO” imagine thinking landing less punches per round is better 😂😂 “Bro but fight was close Artur move forward so he win! 🤤” You guys ruin boxing almost as much as the judges. Just change the rules if it’s not about landing more punches. Any other sport if someone scored more points than their opponent they win but somehow in boxing even though that’s the first criteria but gotcha …

7-5 Beterbiev for me. Bivol wasn’t doing himself any favours by fighting in short spurts in the second half of the fight.

I had it 7-5 Beterbiev last night live, watched it back 6-6. Very enjoyable main event. Ben W needs to get a proper training team, come back and rematch Cameron Wardley irons out a Wilder/Chisora that does great for profile - he mentioned jonny fisher but thats maybe to win british outright but then i’d like to see him in against a anderson/Ruiz - A named Yank as the U.S would love a fabio wardley. All very enjoyable

[@lacca_music214]

I feel like some rounds you would score differently depending on what angle you’re watching from ring side. It was really like that.

[@juliansihite1289]

That’s why compubox was created, so it will count fair and square, including which one hitting air / gloves. In fact, Bivol should have won it, according to compubox, Arthur hit gloves and air most of the times, that’s why Bivol had higher PCT rate with better accuracy and successful punch. The reason Bivol’s face was badly injured, because he blocked most of Arthur’s heavy punches with his gloves which pushed his hand backward to his face, and this is inevitable .

[@lacca_music214]

@@juliansihite1289 do you know what compubox is? It’s literally a guy in the stands who manually hits a button every punch. In spite of the name, it’s not some advanced computer program using sensors or high speed camera to accurately log punches, and it should NOT be used to score fights. And yea, beterbiev was marking up bivol through his guard. Those punches to the gloves/arms actually do damage, they also allow him to dictate the terms of the fight and when he was throwing those flurries a lot of shots were slipping through and hurting bivol. He hurt bivol a few times and had him in survival mode towards the end of the fight.

[@TanzilAnwer]

Watch rounds 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12 again in slow motion at 0.75 speed, and you'll understand how Beterbiev won the fight. In round 3 and several later rounds, Bivol becomes passive, while Beterbiev throws more than 60 punches per round. As a result, the decision will favor the fighter who keeps pushing and throwing punches. Clean shots don’t play a significant role if the fighter stays on the back foot for 2 straight minutes and takes punches, even if they land on the gloves and hands, as those punches are still considered.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

You should never watch sport in slow motion. Especially not at the highest level.

[@JonathanVegaa]

The problem I have with a lot of people saying Bivol won because the punches didn’t land clean but even Bivol said his eye got busted cause Beterbiev kept punching his hand into his face Beterbiev also had Bivol hurt and on the back foot multiple times the same people that hate on Shakur are praising Bivol for doing the same thing

[@joebriggs5253]

So we going to count every punch on the glove now? Nah

[@JonathanVegaa]

@@joebriggs5253 not every punch your acting like Beterbiev isn’t one of the most devastating punchers in boxing today just say your a casual Bivol himself admitted those punches hurt him

[@vajguy]

Shakur and Bivol are not the same.. dont even compare. Bivol was landing clean hard combos, then moving. If there's a definition of hit while not being hit, it's what Bivol did. If Shakur had fought someone on Beterbiev's level, he would have been mauled. You can't JUST run from Beterbiev, you have to fire something back so he's also cautious.

[@joebriggs5253]

@JonathanVegaa he said he hit hard but bivol is honest. Beterbiev got humbled thinking it'd be easy. His whole team got humbled. Why didn't he just walk through bivol if the punches didn't hurt?

These casuals don't deserve the knowledge your spitting bro😂​@@vajguy

[@lacca_music214]

It was really the same as almost every other beterbiev fight except he just couldn’t get the finish. Bivols conditioning, defensive discipline and fast counters were enough for him to weather the storm. It’s not clear if/how much beterbiev’s knee was a factor. I think he needed 10% more aggression, 20-30 seconds earlier in the rounds and he probably drops bivol at some point and maybe stops him. Easier said than done at 39 w/ a knee injury though. Also I just wanna say how refreshing it is to see a guy like beterbiev vs an elite mover like bivol. He actually knew how to cut off the ring and made bivol fight! It’s getting old seeing some of these fighters chase a guy around the ring for 12 then complain they ran. Teo vs Ortiz, Shakur vs DLS etc.

Beterbiev won. He was the one forcing the fight. All Bivol was doing high gurad and running for dear life. The odd 5-6 seconds burst of Bivol doesn't make you win a 3 minute round.

[@johnygoodwin3441]

And just walking forward without landing clean is not a very convincing win, even his team thought he needed a knockout and Artur himself said that he wasn't happy with his performance

[@DerrickBrown-tk9pr]

Bivol moved his feet to get away from punches. Boxing isn't necessarily about always standing still in front of your opponent. If moving you feet causes you to avoid punches you need to do what you have to do. Bivol landed good shots and landed his jab also.

[@rustyshackleford9452]

U expect Bivol to stand still and take punches all 12 rounds? Thats not how boxing works. Walking forward and hitting your opponents guard doesn’t score you points .

[@planetruth919v6]

CLEARLY BETERBIEV WON THAT FIGHT! He was the aggressor, his game plan was well-in-place while Bivol's didn't work well. Even basing on their looks after the fight, obviously Beterbiev sustained little damage or bruises while bivol's face was gravely devastated! Admittedly, Bivol was fan favourite. That's why it seems the result allegedly was controversial. It's just a matter of those losers could not accept losing money in betting Bivol. And professional boxers mostly, are jealous with the achievements of Beterbiev that no one else could achieve in their boxing carries.

[@eljumaidilbinahmad2464]

Only arrogant people like Eddie Hearn gave excuses. But no excuses, said Bivol. He even congratulated Beteviev and acknowledged his atomic bomb punches.

I was never as high on Whittaker as the UK media so color me surprised when i felt he dominated the first 2 rounds with his jab alone, I literally said to myself "Damn, hes better than i thought" but over the course of the fight his composure slowly withered. On the bright side I wont be as harsh on his performance as i foresee others being since i wasnt too invested compared to the UK fans i see online in the comments, im actually fairly impressed he didnt completely capitulate.

[@FC-kn3eb]

I CAN´T AGREE WITH YOU MORE on the Bivol-Beterbiev assessment! GREAT ANALYSIS!

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

💪

[@Thetache]

I think you have missed the point that most of Bivols work was very light touches so the word "effective" is important, Bivol was touching not punching with a lot of his work due to going backwards and he did no damage to Beterbiev who marks up very easily, was a close fight but I think the similarity of the 3 judges cards bar a few swing rounds gave the right aggregate result (None of them made Bivol the winner).....Rematch 100% but I think Bivol gets stopped next time as he really can't change things bar committing to more power which involves planting your feet, then he gets into a trade and he won't win that with Beterbiev. Whereas Beterbiev knows Bivols moves now so he already made the adjustments.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

Light touches? How many times did Bivol sit down and plant his punches throughout the fight? He was constantly doing it barring the last three rounds.

[@Thetache]

@@PunchPerfectBoxing If that were the case and those shots landed then Beterbievs face would reflect that, Bivol was too quick to get on his bike as he was landing the shots not fully committed because he feared the return fire.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

@Thetache Of course he’s going to get on his bike and fear the return… IT’S BETERBIEV! He’s not going to box a stupid fight. He held his feet and let his hands go plenty through 9 rounds. Just didn’t do it enough in the championship rounds to keep Beterbiev at bay.

[@Thetache]

@@PunchPerfectBoxing There is a big difference in fully committing to shots and without doing that Bivol gave Beterbiev no reason to worry about going forward, Beterbiev marks up very easily and after 12 rounds he had a rub mark on his forehead, so either Bivol was just touching or Beterbiev was blocking them, choose your poison, thats why all 3 judges did not see Bivol doing enough to win the rounds, best he got was a draw, from 1 of them. The fact that the words "did enough" came from many on the Bivol side shows he did not in fact do enough and did not leave it all out there. A close fight yes but a Bivol win No chance.

[@MiguelAlexisArguello]

The only complaint I had about the event as a whole was that 116-112 scorecard. The fight was more of a draw or one round towards either guy. I was going for Beterbiev, but as a fan of the sport, that's my honest assessment. All that being said l, if any fight needs a rematch, it's this.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

Totally agree 🎯

[@thomasrobertson2225]

I like this video! The whole fight between Beterbiev and Bivol was held in a forceful manner. Both boxers were attentive to their opponent's punches, as they realized that missing one accentuated punch could lead to a knockout. Beterbiev after the first three rounds of the attempt to work on technique began to press, throwing out his powerful punches. However, he was unable to lock onto Bivol and knock him out as he had done with all of his previous opponents. Bivol was constantly shifting Biterbiev's aim, defending with his block and shifting from side to side, preventing him from landing a series of knockout punches. The center of the ring remained behind Biterbiev most of the time. In this fight we did not see the famous element of movement from the Soviet style of boxing - shuttle kick, performed by Dmitry Bivol. The use of the shuttle is suitable in amateur boxing, where 3 rounds, as well as in work with a boxer-player or slow-moving opponent. Bivol used the defense with a block and a trip takedown to the side. Countered Beterbiev with counter power work. We didn't see any spurts of concussive strikes from Beterbiev in this fight. We can discuss a lot about who won this fight. I will say that the fight was very competitive. Both opponents were strong both physically and technically. Nobody fell in the ring. We all saw this exciting fight. Beterbiev showed that he has the right to be the winner, and Bivol proved that he is unbeatable. Before the fight I gave 30% that Beterbiev would win by knockout and 70% that Bivol would win on points. The result of the fight surprised me - Beterbiev won a judges' decision for the first time in his professional career. I was also surprised by Bivol's hard power style of fighting, which started to take shape since his fight with Canelo Saul Alvarez. Bivol's feet became more stocky, minimal use of the shuttle. Dmitry Bivol proved himself in exchanging hard punches with Beterbiev. We saw the athletic power of the athletes. I think everyone will learn a lesson from this fight. Personally, I was once again convinced that cardio and physical endurance are an important component for a boxer. Recently I have added to my training the recommendations from the practical manual “400 Boxing Combinations” by Yuriy Ivantsiv. This manual contains training schemes, how to develop stamina, physical strength, to work out skills of close combat, middle and long distance fighting, to work out a knockout punch and a series of power punches in non-stop mode through practicing boxing combinations. Every time I finish practicing 10 rounds on the bag, I realize that these are the unforgettable sensations I was missing in the training process. As a result - my endurance has improved, during sparring I don't have a fleeting confusion about which series of punches to throw. I understand what blows my sparring partner is going to deliver, so I have time to defend and counterattack. After a month of training on the methodology “400 Boxing Combinations” I managed to diversify my combinatorial punching technique. Finally, I would like to recommend everyone to subscribe to this channel. It puts out useful content for all boxing fans! I wish you all success and good luck!

[@TheOriginalGankstar]

The general lack of 10-10 round scoring is one of the biggest problems in judging. Being desperate to be decisive and contrive some definitive edge in very close rounds is pointless. If a boxer hasn't won the round don't force a round to them. Especially in rounds where the story is that each fighter landed about 1 punch and spent the rest of the round posturing... some additional jab or some vague impression of slightly superior ring generalship shouldn't be meaningful. In such rounds, neither fighter has done anything worthy of being judged to have "won" or earned a round.

The card giving Beterbiev round 3-7 is my problem.

I felt Bivol banked 10 but that and 12 is debatable.

Think more need to talk about Ben cracking under pressure also

[@gearoidmcalister3638]

Andy Lee said that Whittaker was the biggest prospect in boxing beforehand 😂😂 Goodness gracious

[@juliusmbidha3086]

The boxing media refusing to accept that Beterbiev beat Bivol on points. Comes from the pre-fight belief that Bivol is unbeatable over 12 rds.A healthy Beterbiev might even stop him in the rematch at 40 yrs.

[@newtonfinn164]

Was this fight a replay of Hagler/Leonard? That one went for finesse over aggression. This one went the other way. Signs of the times, in both cases, if you get my drift.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

Good shout.

[@anesu846]

I had it 7-5 bet and gave Biv a couple of the swings so I can definitely see 8-4. Harsh, not reflective of how competitive they are but you’ve got to give them to someone

NAKATANI VS CHITPATTANA Let’s go breakfast time tomorrow

[@frankharris8061]

Been looking forward to your thoughts on this. It was a belter of a fight. My initial reaction was that it was a draw, but I thought Bivol did the better work throughout and probably nicked it if the judges took notice of the crowd reaction. Same as you. Even with the expectation that Bivol would get it when I heard 116-112 despite it being a bit wide either way. I’ve seen people give a lot of stupid reasons as to why it was a comfortable win for Artur - such as “clean shots only matter if they cause knockdowns” and “Bivol was running all night and took more damage - look at his face”. Both of which are bollocks and both show that you have to try harder to make a case for Beterbiev winning than Bivol winning. Don’t get it twisted though, I know you can find 7 rounds for Beterbiev, and this is not a robbery. It was genuinely close. I just preferred Bivol’s work. My view is Bivol outboxed Beterbiev and had his way with him at mid and close range when it was in the middle of the ring rather than at the ropes. He proved to me that he IS the better boxer of the two, and I’d favour him extremely heavily in a rematch which I doubt will happen. Even if it doesn’t, Bivol will put the belts together again when they scatter.

[@frankrodrig9908]

No more hit but not get hit bs

[@kk-yz3vj]

Honestly for everyone. this is boxing fighting throwing punches is the name of the game with reasonable accuracy. The people that are saying bivol boxed off the back foot is complete rubbish. The only person that can fight off the back foot with great effect is mayweather. Bivol was running covering up getting busted up. Beterbiev is just a power house his one two glancing blows were putting too much pressure on bivol and it’s not bivols fault. Bivol was landing nothing close to nothing. The commentary was gassing up bivol. Beterbiev was throwing way more punches and beating bivol down. That wear and tear was real for bivol. Bivols punches had no impact. In my opinion you can’t throw that many punches and get the win in a unified championship fight.

[@joshthompson510]

115-113 beterbiev

[@surgej007]

This is not Robbery But Majority believe Bivol Won.

[@DeeLJay]

How about Wardley vs Wallin? Enough of a recognisable name in the U.K. as Wallin faced Fury and AJ.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

Yeah I like that shout. Franklin or Wallin both fit the bill.

[@AkshitSinghRana-v4t]

I honestly think beterbiev won atleats 8 rounds . Bivol has nothing left in the tank in championship rounds ​@@PunchPerfectBoxing

[@marccreation1052]

Quittaker or Sh1ttaker...maybe he should go the WWE route? That was a nice Wrestling takedown, he has talent and can fake it.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

Funnily enough, I said last night that he suits WWE more than boxing. Might go the Ogogo route.

[@OhSoGoated]

Gutted, had 1k on wardley KO and Bivol outright, it was no more than a draw, if you give it either fighter (as I did) you give it bivol, this is why football will always be my first sport, boxing just has too much subjectivity, be interesting if there were 5 judges..

[@AlTarif]

I had it 115 - 113 Bivol. I watched it back and really struggle to see anything better for Beterbiev than a draw.

[@rickyr7790]

I mean look at the punch stats. It could’ve went either way, but Bivol fault for letting those last 3 rds go

[@mach1853]

Bivol plays perfect matador role then gets Royally Rogered in Riyadh….

[@danielmori501]

Beterbiev won that.

[@paddy4483]

I think wardleys another fight off hrgovic, but someone who’s lost in that 2nd tier is who to go to- makhmudov, Jared Anderson, Jermaine Franklin, Otto wallin maybe even an Andy Ruiz or a jarrell miller

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

All good shouts Paddy

[@jimmychin9666]

It is not a robbery if it could have gone either way.

[@willanderson1469]

7-5 Beterbiev for me. 6-6 was also fine. I don’t like others saying it was a robbery. I backed Artur this time but would probably favor Bivol to make adjustments and win the rematch.

[@sergiolopezgavina2939]

Gotta say most people wanted Bivol to win bc he survived as that's what it seemed throughout the fight he was in survival mode... Just my opinion he ran way too much and idk why people think that Bivol didn't get hit look at dudes face lol

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

I would have been okay with a Beterbiev win, Bivol win and a draw. This was a fantastic fight of skill. I think that a draw would have been most appropriate in terms of the fight. If ever a draw was justifiable, it was this fight. Still, I would have been okay with a win for either fighter.

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

I will say that the one outlier 116-112 scorecard was just perplexing.

[@boxingfanatic1546]

I had it 6-6 but could be a 7-5 either way I can't see a 8-4 for either fighter that judge was bugging

[@LeadLeftLeon]

This fight is where Biv’s prime starts and the end of Bet’s career prime. Bet will make Biv have a pro boxing mentality fight to win every minute of the fight. No more points then CHILL amateur boxing tactic

[@Alex-bd4ov]

You had it 5-1 for Bivol after 6? But you have a problem with 116-112?

[@superintendantchalmers2204]

Come on PPB we all know Whittaker looked for a way out and found it… seen multiple angles and replays his ankle was fine… he’s created a rod for his own back with his arrogance and now he’s afraid to learn the hard way in front of the crowd like every prospect must, he’s backed himself into a corner and now has to look spectacular every time.

[@PunchPerfectBoxing]

I didn’t say he didn’t look for a way out? If anything, I said he did.

[@superintendantchalmers2204]

Whole thing stinks to me , A.i judging is the way forward last time I checked points where scored by hitting head and body not gloves , we all know why they gave to to beterbiev and it has nothing to do with boxing

Wardley will be ready to beat Dubois in a year.

[@davidnaylor4709]

you seemed pretty adamant on twitter last night that the 8th was definitely Bivols round, even blaming my beer for my giving it to Beterbiev 😂😂 I'll let you off though 😘

You mentioned the beer, Dave!

[@davidnaylor4709]

​@@PunchPerfectBoxing yes and when I said I scored the 8th to Beterbiev you replied "must have been good beer" 😂 I'm only playing tho, I have no doubt you know what you're looking at more than I do, probably my go to Channel these days

I got it 114-114

[@jordancoolwell8347]

I reckon it was draw bivol did slow down at the end though

[@ethan-adam]

copying my own comment word for word from Gmans video: "Even though i had predicted Artur on points, I thought Bivol just edged it personally i had it scored 115-113, during the fight i felt he was losing the middle rounds but when he turnt it up again in the final 3, i realized he had just been conserving energy since he had won the 1st three rounds kinda similiar to what Loma and Usyk do, perhaps this is a sign that unless youre Usyk who can be convincingly dominant enough, its an easy startegy to not get the rub of the green but like the haney fight imma gonna go out on a limb and say it was too close to be called a robbery" also Bivol was definetly more accurate imo so i scored 2 of the swing rounds to him
