Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol 2

It absolutely had potential. That potential was ultimately not realised. I suspect this was known in advance by certain parties, to an extent at least.

Regarding the question that was popped in the other thread about how one feels about Saudi control, it has to be said that it's a lot more style than substance right now.

 

HW division a mess btw

 

Yeah, this showcased 4 of the best fighters in the division yet both bouts were pathetic. More like tough man contests than elite boxing

 

Quality fight between Bivol and Beterbiev. Non-stop action throughout. Better fight than the first. Bivol deservedly the winner. Beterbiev is relentless and had a good first half, but Bivol weathered the storm, got his second wind and showcased his combination, countering and ring IQ skills. Lovely stuff.
