villaglint Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Felt very much like a CL semi final played at a very high level that ended in a 0-0 draw. With eye test I was leaning towards Bivol but feel I’m under qualified to score it accurately either way. 1
nick76 Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 I thought Beterbiev won. It was close but I had Beterbiev winning it. 1
foreveryoung Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 To be fair how good a watch Bivol was. He never looked like knocking Beterbiev out. Guys a absolute machine. 1

He threw more but hit the gloves often and missed with a lot too. Bivol did much the cleaner work. He actually boxed really well, used his lateral movement to great effect and countered excellently throughout. 1

Reminds me a lot of Miguel Cotto tbh. Slightly different style but fundamentally flawless. Does everything very well and puts his combinations together beautifully. Also fights on the backfoot very well. Many similarities between them. 1

sheepyvillian Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 I'm surprised Connor Benn didn't enter the ring to challenge the winner with a crate of eggs on his back.

It's seen in cases of Bells palsy whatever damage has been done around his eye socket has broken that, he looks in a bad way there. Just watching it again. I'm guessing the face droop may have been more down to a broken jaw. The divit in his head was just next to the ear, top of the jaw. Didn't look nice either way. 1
sheepyvillian Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 I was thinking after watching such a highly skilled fight as Bivol and Berterbiev was. I can full understand why Virgil Hill wants Buatsi to have no part with either one of the Russians. You really are talking levels with those two.
Avfc96 Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 Yarde is back at the weekend. New promoter and now on Sky. But still the same old sh*t in regards to his opponent. Fighting a super middle for his third warm up fight since he got beat. Just throw him in with Buatsi FFS.
Avfc96 Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 Azim looked very good against O'Hara Davies. Stopped him in the 8th. Yarde looked dreadful bar the knockdown in the first 10 seconds. 2
Avfc96 Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 Back to back defeats for Tszyu and this one was a proper beating. Arguably career ending.

Avfc96 Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 The press conference for Usyk vs Fury 2 starts at 5. There's a part of me that just cannot be arsed for this. Usyk won the first fight clearly, despite trying to rob him on the scorecards. The undercard is sh*te (apart from McCann vs McGrail).

It still has a certain amount of curiosity for myself. Would be a great story if fury could somehow get the win it would top an improbable story really thinking back. 1
