Everyone happy with the result? Over the two fights I think 1-1 is right but I think each fight was officially won by the wrong guy. But it all balances out. Will have to watch both again though!

Bugger, I fell asleep after the Parker vs Mr T (bone) fight.

I blame the England Scotland match. Too much excitement.

Will watch B vs B later.

Does anyone know with regard a rematch clause in the contract(s). IE is the trilogy nailed on or not?
 
Was an amazing night of fighting,

Great win by Kabayel, really sends an interesting message to the division, to be knocked down by Zhang, only to get up - and put out so much dps to the body, that Zhang quits out of pain.

It felt a fair result. Beterbiev really tried to put it on him from the start and I thought he looked more powerful and quite menacing. However, Bivol has taken all his best shots and his movement, distance judgement and general defensive skills meant that a lot of Beterbiev's punches land on the gloves or forearms. I don't think he landed too many clean shots, even to the body. Bivol weathered the storm and then outboxed him. I thought it was a brilliant performance under severe pressure.

Beterbiev at 40 is a phenom. To fight at that pace and intensity is incredible but I'm not sure he wants a third fight. I don't know what he could do different. He's not seemingly got the power or timing to knock Bivol out and another camp, 8 months will not be easy at 40+. The money men will want a 3rd fight but I'd happily live with the memory of the last two.

Contracted or not - there will be a 3rd fight.

Public want it, both fighters will be paid handsomely for it - it will happen.
 
Compubox has Bivol comfortably winning in terms of landed punches and accuracy:


I can't argue with that, so I take it back, Bivol won. The reason why I wasn't sure if Bivol won is because I thought he eased off for two rounds. Think it was the 3rd and 4th?

I also read a lot of people saying that quite a few of Beterbiev's punches landed on the gloves, as per the first fight. I can believe that, Beterbiev's face was way worse than Bivols.

Really glad Bivol won. I thought he won the first but I put it down to fanboy-bias lol

I’m not giving this fight any time of day. Saw the presser on my YouTube homepage and avoided it

Edit: instantly wanting to see it after your comment. I’ll hold firm though. I like Eubank Jr, he knows how to get under peoples skin even if he leaves you wanting more in the ring (!!)
