    30-17, but that round was closer as Beterbiev walked forward with more intent.

    As expected, Bivol's speed is causing Beterbiev problems early doors.

    Gonna come down to how long Bivol can keep this up.

    39-37 Bivol, Beterbiev took that round with effective aggression.

    Beterbiev very effective in the fifth. Bivol couldn't get set and shipped some hefty looking shots.

    Bivol still landing some quick counters, though. If I was to guess, he’s probably up on the cards at this point.

    49-46 Bivol....close Round but Bivol landed more overall, slightly more effective despite a lot of pressure from Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev took that one clearly, imo.

    Beterbiev targeting the body in the sixth. Trying to slow Bivol down. It's close at halfway, this.

    58-56 Bivol, really close rounds and hard to score, like Beterbiev's aggression and Bivol was catching glove.

    Bivol took a pretty clean right hand at the end of round one and it had no effect. Made me sit up and take notice. His counter game is winning the fight. Beterbiev needs to push a pace and his corner is telling him to do it but I don't see the urgency he needs.

    Beterbiev might have hurt Bivol there but Bivol hurt him first.

    Round 7 is the best of the fight. Bivol hurt Beter but then shipped a big shot and basically ran for the rest of the round.

    I think Beter stole that.

    67-66 Bivol.

    I have it even through eight but you're right, it's not easy to score. It depends on what you like - Beterbiev's aggression or Bivol's flashier combos.

    Now Bivol stole the round. Champagne boxing from Bivol really, but Beterbiev looks so dangerous.

    77-75 Bivol.

    Coin flip on a few rounds. I'm conscious that the crowd is cheering Beterbiev a lot more so trying to watch closely. Bivol is much more accurate, and he made Beterbiev stumble where the opposite has not happened.

    Bivol's defense is excellent, as is his punching off the back foot. Won him the ninth for me.

    Bivol bamboozling bumbling Beterbiev in Rd 9.

    87-84 Bivol

    Beterbiev needs a KD on my card.

    Beterbiev just can't get through Bivol's defences. Bivol is only really landing three or four shots per round but Beterbiev isn't really landing any. I have it 6-4 Bivol.

    Hard round to score. Bivol was more accurate but Beterbiev is still there in his face showing some shots too.

    I have that round to Bivol, Beterbiev tried to steal it but keeps hitting glove. He needs to knock Bivol out.

    97-93
