39 years old this man is remarkable most boxers are finished way before that age.. relentless pressure from beterbiev won him the fight

[Ambition_HQ]

Not all judges appreciate fighters who adopt a strategy of running, landing punches, and then retreating. The aggressor was awarded the victory, which is understandable, particularly considering the performance in the latter half of the match.

[mizanakhtarkhan]

Although it was a close fight, the aggression of Beterbiev paid off. Bivol loosened up in the last couple of rounds. Beterbiev is the correct winner and I won't call it a robbery. Congratulations to both men!

[bagusgerardodon]

His facial expressions and voice are similar to Khabib's👍👍👍

[skyniazi]

No disrespect to Bivol, but he was moving around the ring, which is understandable since standing toe-to-toe with Artur likely means getting knocked out. Artur is a true, humble champion and a remarkable person.

[TitansBlue]

What a fight!! Could’ve gone either way honestly. Congratulations to both men, they’re warriors 🔥🔥

[chicano]

Very close fight. Bivol did more moving around the ring than usual and hugging instead of fighting like a warrior. Despite Beterbiev knee injury & age he won. Rematch worthy.

[ibragang]

Imagine a 38yr going to distance with bivol and winning he is good

[SyedAhmed-og]

Love the reply:

Reporter: Your corner said knock him out!

Artur: They always say that 😂

[larvancioramos]

40, coming from a KNEE SURGERY!!!
Winning the last TWO ROUNDS 💪🏾
BETERBIEV is the BEST 😎

[TheKen]

I Loved the fight, but Beterbiev just nicked it for me for being the aggressor, would Love a rematch and well done to Bivol because he aint no loser to me

[Lionofyemen]

Artur won due to his superior activity. This wasn’t a robbery; in boxing, scoring considers not just cleaner punches but also factors like activity, aggression, and ring control. Artur clearly dominated in these areas, while Bivol struggled to make an impact.

[alcottdevalte]

Beterviev is brilliant, good man. Want to see a rematch next.

[ariffnordin]

Make it a trilogy I will watch all the fights

[alexb]

Personally I had it either a draw or 115-113 beterbiev. I think a draw seems the fairest. 116-112 is a very bad scorecard but overall I’m not going to call the result a robbery. Highly technical fight. Beterbiev put the pressure on late

[rayhanatalferdaws]

He is a very humble champion. Congratulations to him. He deserves to be the undefeated champion and he is the king now.

[SomeFreeTimeActivities]

Bivol was fighting in spurts and just took too much time off. He needed to throw more but Artur's power was what kept him at bay.

[frankelforever]

So refreshing to see a fight like this live up to the hype. No spoiling tactics and no constant hugging, the ref barely had to separate them. The technician against the brawler and the brawler got the nod this time. Hopefully it won't be as long a wait for them to fight again as it was the first time. Two legends of the game 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[emmettoliver]

I had it 115-113 to Beterbiev.. great fight 👏🏻

[anasshahid]

What a great match up!! Congratulations Artur Beterbiev, he truly deserves to win. Respect to Dmitry Bivol for being humble and classy in defeat and making no excuses, both are two of the classiest boxers in the sport. 👏👏👏
