Man, I don't know about that one. I guess it could've gone either way.

Definitely not even close to being the worst decision in a boxing match in Saudi Arabia.

On the plus side, at least this sets it up for a spectacular trilogy!

It was a damn good card. I guess that's what that Saudi money can do. Boxing scoring is just so flimsy that I hate when there's big matches in Saudi. It's so ripe for corruption. I know that doesn't just happen in Saudi, but it seems to be much more ripe there.

116-112 is wild. But you really could go either way with that one.

That was. The judge that had it as a draw got the worst reaction from the fans but that was probably the most accurate card, compared to the others.

I had it 116-114. 2even rounds. If Dubois didn't get the flu this card would have been legendary. Agit Kabayel made himself a ton of money by banging out Zhang

I had Bivol only 1 point win.....maybe, mostly from running most the fight but you see why the one good shot he got caught with split his eye open. The judges wanted a third fight that's all this was about all Bivol had to do was keep it competitive and not get knocked out.

What a fantastic card.

Buatsi/Smith fight was FOY candidate.

Virgil is going to be a problem at 154-160 as he continues to grow into his man body. His offense is otherworldly and his defense is top 5 in the world. He has damn near unpenetrable defense without running from his opponent.

Agit is a legitimate HW championship contender. He just continues to destroy whoever they put in front of him.

Shakur's body isn't going to let him reach his potential. Sure, he knocked the guy out but he's not going to be able to beat everyone he faces with one hand. His left hand is brittle as glass. He thinks he wants Tank, but he really don't want Tank. The first fighter he faces with good offense and punching power will expose him.

Joseph Parker's reconstruction is nothing short of amazing. Andy Lee has made him a different fighter. He's earned a shot at Usyk. He'll beat Duquitter half to death.

What can I say about Artur and Dimitri. Both are top 10 P4P fighters. They can fight 10 times and it'll only be decided by a handful of rounds. When Dimitry keeps his punch output up throwing 3 and 4 punch combinations he's unbeatable because he defense is damn near as good as Virgil's.

Love betting had Bivol -900 at the end of the 11th.

Beterbiev came out of the gate storming putting on the pressure. He was -600 at end of 4th. At the end of the 5th, when sitting in his corner I saw that he was a bit gassed ( heaving breathing with mouth, head lean khác back). Bivol later confirmed this in the post fight interview. Bivol took over in the mid to late rounds with Beterbiev winning the last one finishing strong cutting Bivol below the left eye.
