116-112 is a joke

Yep, he should never judge a fight again, no way that score.

Great fight and so close. I had Beterbiev by 1. There was a point where he seemed to land 4- 5 right hands to open a round - no mention - combo by Bivol, immediately lauded. Rematch, I hope. 116-112 embarrassing.

They keep mentioning his age, even the pundits are amazed.

He's 39 has just comeback from a major meniscus operation.
He has had some serious injuries, yet he's coming forward like a 26 year old.
PED's

I mean, if we're going down that route, who isn't on PEDs?

Most fights I watch that go to the judges are controversial/wrong decisions.

The Catterall one was beyond words bad.

Unbelievable fight, and I agree, - I too thought Beterbiev edged it. But could understand had it gone to Bivol.

Could watch these two lads fight all day. Probably doesn't get much better than that.

How refreshing to see those interviews post it. Already looking forward to the rematch.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

I wanted Beterbiev to win but he lost that fight no doubt about it, we all know corruption is rife in boxing.

 

[Robanompivenov]

I had it close and Beterbiev clearly stepped on the gas and won the championship rounds. It was never a 116-112 though. Mad scorecard.

City need to sort out corruption in all sports.

Absolute bollocks that bearded **** won by 4 rounds, in fact crass bollocks
