I really like Bivol, he's a classy, humble fight and a boxing fan himself too. Beterbiev was also humble in victory... classy guys, great fight, I wanna see more, REMATCH!!
Kinda confirmed for me his ex wife's allegations are false. I know it seems unconnected but he showed such an uncommon amount of dignity and respect in defeat. Also, experience has taught me that Russian women are often not to be trusted lol
This was a chess match between 2 elite undefeated world champions. In my opinion both of them did enough to win, but neither of them deserved to lose. This was a tactical DRAW between two warriors.
Draw would have been a fair score, but I don't think Beterbiev ever gave away any rounds, was always in the argument for winning every round. Bivol clearly lost several rounds, so can see why the decision went against him
@aidangriffiths5075 i agree that Bivo gave up the last 2 round but definitely a good fight and at least should have been a draw. Bivo definitely won in my opinion regarding cleaner and point shot. Nothing to take away from Arthur and congratulations on the win. Love them both.
If we had these judges when Mayweather was boxing. Mayweather would be a nobody. Bivol won this fight. Both were champions. No reason for Beterbiev to win.
@rbr4115 bivol did not win obviously, 50 percent who like boxers that run said he won and 50 percent of people who like agresive boxers who move forward said artur won. And for the record Mayweather lost to Castillo and they robbed Castillo

So much respect to Canelo as the smaller guy being able to hang and make a fight. Bivol and Artur are no joke and their fight could go either way. I don’t think Bivol lost any stock after this just shows how good really is.
@@misteryoww5026 I think he knew it was a hard fight, what he didn’t expect was Bivol’s IQ. Most fighters get frustrated and start opening up and getting aggressive. This is where Canelo is able to hurt them. Bivol knew this and was waiting for Canelo to engage. Bivol fought very smart.

Knock yourself out, Compubox Final Punch Stats Report. Total Punches (Body Landed) : Arthur 137 (31) / 682 thats 20.1% accuracy. Bivol 142 (31) / 423 thats 33.6% accuracy. Total Jabs (Body Landed) : Arthur 47 (8) / 376 thats 12.5% accuracy. Bivol 58 (12) / 255 thats 22.7% accuracy. Power Punches (Body Landed). Arthur 90 (23) / 306 thats 29.4% accuracy. Bivol 84 (19) / 168 thats 50% accuracy. Conclusion: Bivol only landed 5 more total punches than arthur. Bivol landed 11 more jabs than arthur, congrats, I'm sure arthur felt tickled or itchy like mosquito bites, thanx bivol. Arthur landed 6 more power punches than bivol, and his power punches are the heaviest in all 175. But remember arthur's jabs are = bivol's power punches. That explains bivol's face, and arthur's was almost clean and smooth, only minor bruises, he got worse after callum and yarde, while bivol's was the worst in his career. Arthur won fair and square, no robbery, no controversy, damages > scores aka points, arthur hurt bivol more than vice versa, coz its aint no ball games or chess play.

This was the best fight that could be made in 2024, just like Bud vs Spence was the best possible fight in 2023. People thought that Spence would do Bud like Beterbiev did Bivol. The difference is that Bivol, Bud, and Beterbiev live the life of a fighter. These gladiators don’t get stopped. Bivol’s eye was fk’d up, but he didn’t get beat up like Errol Spence got beat up.

They don’t need to act like a stereotype or be rude to sell a fight. That’s why they usually bash them for arrogance. I know Bivol thinks he did enough but he knows the battle is pointless.
You had your answer in there though this fight we were lucky to have because of the Saudi money if it wasn't for that there wouldn't be enough hype to even make this fight that's why guys sell themselves like that. I feel you because I wish we could all just act like that I'm an introvert who doesn't like to act like I have a big ego myself but I understand where they're coming from trying to sell fights
I was Cheering for Beterbiev but i really like Bivol he's Humble Worrior and Respectful guy, it was hard to me seeing him losing i wish him the best in the future 💪 ❤❤
I think the difference in a close fight is that rhe judges go with the one who wanted it more. Beterbiev gambled more and was ready to take more risk, in order to win. Dimitri wasn't willing to rake more risk and gamble in order ro win. In a fight of this magnitude you must want it more and the body language showed who wanted more until the end. If Dimitri had taken more risk like Arthur did, he could have win easier but would have also be opened to take damage like Arthur did take. I don't like brawlers but i also don't like fighters who come to take some rounds off, and fight in purse looking beautiful with clean shots for half of a round then run to secure the round. I like that the judges in a close fight give it to the one who came to win, and did everything until the last round to win. People are misunderstanding what pure boxer is. Dimitri in a pure boxer but wasn't willing to rake more risk today than all his previous fights. Because he knew that if he had taken more risks the threat of getting knocked out was real. A pure boxer is not to fight hard half a round then move around or taking rounds off in order ro secure the victory.
I like how no one is taking about the fact that bivol lost to a 39 year old beterbiev coming off a 9 year lay off and knee injury. Had this been 4 years ago bivol would Be sent to the hospital
Good fight between them, but in a rematch I think that’s where you would finally see bivol get fully broken down and lose again. I hear what bivol was saying about he could’ve threw more punches, but I think there’s reasons why he didn’t throw more innit. If he would have threw more he would have wasted even more energy and would have left himself open more to getting hit. I truly don’t think he can move or defend much better than he did, even in a rematch. Only because moving more than that, will 100% have him losing again which is kinda what made him lose this fight. Sure he maybe stand and trade more in the rematch, but I think that’s what would get him knocked out. Especially since he even admitted the punches that Artur threw hurt, even though a ton hit his glove. I figured that’s why he moved so much, a lot of his fans who just learned about him in the canelo fight😂… thought Artur punches had 0 effect on bivol. But you can tell they did the way he moved so much. Whenever they traded for a bit and Artur landed decently, he immediately started moving again. Which is a big indicator, because if he didn’t feel anything. Bivol would have definitely stood there and traded with him in that case. Would definitely still watch the rematch if it happened, but I just don’t see how it goes any other way than an beterbiev win. Or possibly a more convincing win from beterbiev probably by stoppage, Since he probably would start a lot faster than he did.
Excellent take..Beterbiev is just a handful. Bivol boxed extremely well I dont see him doing better. If he had a One punch knockout power then I will give him the edge to win.
How can you not love Bivol, had to show so much humility after the judges said he didn’t win, no complaints even apologising for not winning😢his become my favourite fighter 🥹
Ive watched the fight twice. Once without the sound. Bivol did excellent but not enough. The vast majority of Bivols puches landed on the guard. Bivol future is very bright. 💪🏽
Bivol won more rounds than Beterbiev, 1-3,6,10,12 and then one more round i have to look back again, but they gifted Beterbiev this fight, it was at best a draw or in bivols favor
Beterbiev Won it narrowly!.... It was a tight fight, swaying between both fighters!.... All depends on what you like and looking for.... Yes, one judge scoring wasn't right but still Beterbiev won it and i can understand why fans are upset and calling it a Robbery for Bivol.... Robbery it was not. Listen to Bivol as he slowly calms down as emotions run high, he says he could have done more!... There is a slight indirect admission that there is a possibility Beterbiev could have Won/Nicked it!... He even says he wanted Beterbiev to pressure him more and doesn't realise this admission is what cost him!.... As we entered the last 2 rounds you could see he was sluggish. Power and heavy punches came from Beterbiev with rounds ending stronger for him, but technically Bivol was smooth, on the back foot, boxed superbly with some bumps on the way!.... Listen, whatever fans feel about the decision we get to see it again in the future so we all are winners! Both gentlemen are a credit to the sport.... Bivol admits for a man of almost 40 years, his endurance and stamina was very good and his punches were very powerful!.... That should tell you something about the final decision declaring the Winner whether you agree with it or not!
Rooted for Biv and had him doing 7-5. However he opened himself up for judges bullsht by disengaging in the 10th round and letting Bet finish strong with the championship rounds. Every boxing fan knows the final rounds are the most important rounds. Biv was naive and had too much trust in the judges to score on a round by round basis
I don't understand why people called it a robbery. I scored it for Bivol, but calling anything a "robbery" shows the person knows nothing about how boxing is scored. Tennis, Football, Cricket, Chess, Darts, don't have subjective scoring. Boxing does. I really hate the moaning after EVERY fight. Someone has to win, and someone has to lose!
Bivol went into the fight to survive, he didnt go in to conquer and dominate Beterbiev, everyone was expectiong a war, but Bivol was on the 🏍🏍most of the time, very disappointing.
Can`t believe Bivol next day he is like perfectly fine, like he was out jogging the day before and not in a 12 round fight with the hardest puncher in that division, amazing.
Survive? I'd argue he dominated the fight. People know nothing of boxing. Always so impressed by power punchers. Bivol put on a master class. You, clearly, have never fought a day in your life.
@@kiaadams104 Your comment shows that you have no idea what you're talking about! None of them dominated! It was a very very close fight. Bivol himself says in this video that he needed to bring more aggression and moves. Artur was definitely more aggressive and landed many decisive punches. So at least he won fair and square.
In a 15 round surely Arthur would dominate bivol. But bivol did really well, tbh. I had him untill the 10 round. But then he was running, hugging and countering with combos. Artur initiated the exchanges. All these reasons are why judges gave Artur the win. In the rematch again the same thing might happen, bivol is the favourite to win however. Artur needs to be more fast and accurate, level up in rematch Bivol will be on top if he throws more volume. But again be careful getting hit by Artur is bad.
Gracious in victory and defeat, proper class and pure display of 2 of the greatest light heavyweights in the modern era. I had Bivol up by 2-3 rounds but it is what it is. Bivol rest up and we go again

This is how boxers should act, it was a great fight between two classy sportsmen
Bravo
True warrior!
Both respect each other enough to set a quick rematch. They both said they were unsatisfied with their own performance.
Unfinished business that worth another shot for sure.
Immense talent from both. Very humble and honest
Love and respect to both amazing fighters, they are the true face of boxing 🥊🥊
Just respect for this guy nothing else... What a boxer and respectfull man! Cheers!
I love humble men ,bivol and Artur two of them
Bivol is the greatest boxer of all time! Bivol deserved to win this fight.
This was the best fight that could be made in 2024, just like Bud vs Spence was the best possible fight in 2023. People thought that Spence would do Bud like Beterbiev did Bivol. The difference is that Bivol, Bud, and Beterbiev live the life of a fighter. These gladiators don’t get stopped. Bivol’s eye was fk’d up, but he didn’t get beat up like Errol Spence got beat up. And Bivol didn’t get stopped, unlike Spence. 💯
well said sir !
Spot on .
Spence was also never on the level of these guys
He is a B+ level fighter at his very best
Beterbiev and Bivol S tier boxers, true masters of the art
Spence was.. not now.@@flashback4588
@@flashback4588 B+?! Be real brother he was unified champion… and beat ugas,Danny Garcia, Mikey,Shawn Porter,kell brook, all those guys were world champs..
What an honest and humble dude, incredible.
Funny enough, he is actually the Champ, the one who really won.
There were no losers here, boxing was the winner, Bivol will be back, two great fighters, respect
Bivol thinking what I was thinking. HAGLER Vs Sugar Ray Leonard....glad he has the same mind set as Sugar Ray
And Haggler won that fight
@@deweyburns7409haggler didnt win that fight. Ive watched that fight several times my dad has it on tape. Cant swing at air and hope to win pressure doesnt mean anything if you cant hit.
Glad the correct man won this time
@@jeffreyscottsgames9308 mmm nah man watch it slower, he was hitting very clean and some of the rounds sugar ray leonard was actually hitting very lightly with meaningless flurries at the end of rounds to steal them
@@BahpuAgain I thought Hagler was a better fighter, but Hagler gave away the 1st round didn't fight with same intensity as the rest of the rounds...both fighters were legends and Champs
A REAL MAN!!
No any complaints, no dirty talks after defeated, you are a real Man, real Fighter, BIVOL❤
I like how stoic and calm he is, still after knowing that he got robbed and would’ve deserved the win. I hope he gets motivated by this and gets his titles back. Now he can set up a new record and never lose again. Keep going Bivol. I love you 🙏🏼🐐
How did he get robbed? It was definitely a close fight but Bivol was getting walked down towards the end.
@@clutch1200Beterbievs own corner had him losing the fight as they were pushing him to go for a knock out. In other words they know he was behind and didn't do enough to close the gap.
@@mrgrimm53you waffling a lot lil bro lmao you can tell your fighter you need to knock him out to motivate him after all he had 20 fights 20 ko but yea speculate more
@@mrgrimm53he was behind a point and won the Championship rounds 🤦🏽♂️
@@mrgrimm53 Yes not meaning he was losing to make it more decisive as it was a close fight.Go watch Teddy Atlas and Amir Khan reactions,CRY BABY

Awesome man
How can you not love these Eastern European and Central Asian athletes from the former Soviet Union states? Always humble, always stoic. Americans could learn a lot. They don’t need to act like a stereotype or be rude to sell a fight. That’s why they usually bash them for arrogance. I know Bivol thinks he did enough but he knows the battle is pointless.
British boxers are way more arrogant than American boxers. But yes agree
Words of wisdom.
Cultural difference. These on the fence style answers would be seen as a lack of confidence in the Far West
It's all neo western globohomo mentality here now, all bark no bite, solid people the former soviets
You had your answer in there though this fight we were lucky to have because of the Saudi money if it wasn't for that there wouldn't be enough hype to even make this fight that's why guys sell themselves like that. I feel you because I wish we could all just act like that I'm an introvert who doesn't like to act like I have a big ego myself but I understand where they're coming from trying to sell fights
You are the Champion Dimon!
I was Cheering for Beterbiev but i really like Bivol he's Humble Worrior and Respectful guy, it was hard to me seeing him losing i wish him the best in the future 💪 ❤❤
What a guy and boxer. Both fighters enhanced their reputations
thank you bivol for mentioning kyokushinkai
That was a very impressive callout by Bivol. Student of the martial arts.
I love your humble self. All the best in your future endeavours
This guy is a master of his trade.
What a super cool guy. Such dignity and intelligence.
Bivol says he punches so hard it caused me to punch myself in the face DAMN!!!
😂😂
What a legend! Agree with everything he said. What a great sportsman respect 🙏
Bivol cracks me up when he says Canela 😂
Would you believe me if I say his only trolling when he says that😂😂
EASY FIGHT ONLY TO BETERBIEV,BIVOL
NO ROUNDS PICK 😂😂😂 RUN RUN AWAY BIVOL😂😂😂🤦
Cracks me up that he thinks he won , and he looks Asiann.
A true warrior. No excuses and with so much class either in victory or defeat.
Bivol is a warrior fan of both these guys awesome fight
big respect on this guy , Pure Class.
I think the difference in a close fight is that rhe judges go with the one who wanted it more. Beterbiev gambled more and was ready to take more risk, in order to win. Dimitri wasn't willing to rake more risk and gamble in order ro win. In a fight of this magnitude you must want it more and the body language showed who wanted more until the end. If Dimitri had taken more risk like Arthur did, he could have win easier but would have also be opened to take damage like Arthur did take. I don't like brawlers but i also don't like fighters who come to take some rounds off, and fight in purse looking beautiful with clean shots for half of a round then run to secure the round. I like that the judges in a close fight give it to the one who came to win, and did everything until the last round to win.
People are misunderstanding what pure boxer is. Dimitri in a pure boxer but wasn't willing to rake more risk today than all his previous fights. Because he knew that if he had taken more risks the threat of getting knocked out was real. A pure boxer is not to fight hard half a round then move around or taking rounds off in order ro secure the victory.
Saludos desde Chicago maestro y ya puse mi like 👍
Love this guy, a credit to the sport.
Respect to bivol he’s a humble guy just as artur is, respect to both and love to see them both again
I like how no one is taking about the fact that bivol lost to a 39 year old beterbiev coming off a 9 year lay off and knee injury. Had this been 4 years ago bivol would Be sent to the hospital
9 year lay off?
@@oBlvd 9 month
9 year lay off is crazy 😂😂 but yeah Beterbiev is insane!! 40yrs old and a few months ago had operation for a major knee surgery
2 of the best fighters we are going to see in a long time!
Class
Fantastic chap
Good fight between them, but in a rematch I think that’s where you would finally see bivol get fully broken down and lose again. I hear what bivol was saying about he could’ve threw more punches, but I think there’s reasons why he didn’t throw more innit. If he would have threw more he would have wasted even more energy and would have left himself open more to getting hit.
I truly don’t think he can move or defend much better than he did, even in a rematch. Only because moving more than that, will 100% have him losing again which is kinda what made him lose this fight. Sure he maybe stand and trade more in the rematch, but I think that’s what would get him knocked out. Especially since he even admitted the punches that Artur threw hurt, even though a ton hit his glove. I figured that’s why he moved so much, a lot of his fans who just learned about him in the canelo fight😂… thought Artur punches had 0 effect on bivol. But you can tell they did the way he moved so much.
Whenever they traded for a bit and Artur landed decently, he immediately started moving again. Which is a big indicator, because if he didn’t feel anything. Bivol would have definitely stood there and traded with him in that case. Would definitely still watch the rematch if it happened, but I just don’t see how it goes any other way than an beterbiev win. Or possibly a more convincing win from beterbiev probably by stoppage, Since he probably would start a lot faster than he did.
💯💯
It all depend. If they fight tommorrow u are right, but they are not. Arthur is not a young boy, and his knee is hurt, time is a relentless enemy
Excellent take..Beterbiev is just a handful. Bivol boxed extremely well I dont see him doing better. If he had a One punch knockout power then I will give him the edge to win.
Absolute gentleman and great ambassador to this sport. Nice one Bivol. Nail him down next time.
How can you not love Bivol, had to show so much humility after the judges said he didn’t win, no complaints even apologising for not winning😢his become my favourite fighter 🥹
Bivol is a real Gentleman
Love em both. Cannot ask for a better attitude than what Bivol displays on a regular basis, and after his first loss ever.
bivol is the best lightheavyweit in the world believe that people ... keep going you the one of the best fighters in this generation
He’s the best LHW right behind Beterbiev :)
@@magictoaster806u we’re one of the judges
Respect to both supremely talented, graceful and humble fighters. A fight for the ages
Ive watched the fight twice. Once without the sound. Bivol did excellent but not enough. The vast majority of Bivols puches landed on the guard. Bivol future is very bright. 💪🏽
Bivol won more rounds than Beterbiev, 1-3,6,10,12 and then one more round i have to look back again, but they gifted Beterbiev this fight, it was at best a draw or in bivols favor
Nearly everyone scored beterbiev winning the 12th mate so u basically just said beterbiev won
Good interview.
Beterbiev Won it narrowly!.... It was a tight fight, swaying between both fighters!.... All depends on what you like and looking for.... Yes, one judge scoring wasn't right but still Beterbiev won it and i can understand why fans are upset and calling it a Robbery for Bivol.... Robbery it was not. Listen to Bivol as he slowly calms down as emotions run high, he says he could have done more!... There is a slight indirect admission that there is a possibility Beterbiev could have Won/Nicked it!... He even says he wanted Beterbiev to pressure him more and doesn't realise this admission is what cost him!.... As we entered the last 2 rounds you could see he was sluggish. Power and heavy punches came from Beterbiev with rounds ending stronger for him, but technically Bivol was smooth, on the back foot, boxed superbly with some bumps on the way!.... Listen, whatever fans feel about the decision we get to see it again in the future so we all are winners! Both gentlemen are a credit to the sport.... Bivol admits for a man of almost 40 years, his endurance and stamina was very good and his punches were very powerful!.... That should tell you something about the final decision declaring the Winner whether you agree with it or not!
Rooted for Biv and had him doing 7-5. However he opened himself up for judges bullsht by disengaging in the 10th round and letting Bet finish strong with the championship rounds. Every boxing fan knows the final rounds are the most important rounds. Biv was naive and had too much trust in the judges to score on a round by round basis
A humble and intelligent boxer will surely want to do more better. The fact that he says he didn't perform at his best doesn't mean Beterbieu won...
I don't understand why people called it a robbery. I scored it for Bivol, but calling anything a "robbery" shows the person knows nothing about how boxing is scored. Tennis, Football, Cricket, Chess, Darts, don't have subjective scoring. Boxing does. I really hate the moaning after EVERY fight. Someone has to win, and someone has to lose!
Bivol went into the fight to survive, he didnt go in to conquer and dominate Beterbiev, everyone was expectiong a war, but Bivol was on the 🏍🏍most of the time, very disappointing.
@@josephphotography4127 Totally untrue. A fighter in survival mode don't stick and move. They cover up and hope and pray. That he did not do.
So honest, such a breath of fresh air. Im a Artur fan, but Bivol is one of my faves.
There is Dmitry Bivol and then there is Ben Whittaker, and then there is a whole spectrum in between ;-)
Ah stop ben has so much to do until he gets even close to that level . Still he's young
Ben who? The dancer? 😂
@@PaulPyferI think you missed what he was saying.
Can`t believe Bivol next day he is like perfectly fine, like he was out jogging the day before and not in a 12 round fight with the hardest puncher in that division, amazing.
Respect to Bivol!
Class act
2 classy guys. Gentlemen. Trash talk has no place in this sport
Trash talk does sell a fight too
Such an honest guy. Masterclass athlete I had Bivol up 2 rounds
Very classy Bivol
Finally, a boxer talking about boxing instead of bs !
RESPECT TO BIV0L FOR SURVIVING 12 R.
Supreme Arthur is on next LEVEL. ❤
REMATCH 15 ROUNDS
Survive? I'd argue he dominated the fight. People know nothing of boxing. Always so impressed by power punchers. Bivol put on a master class. You, clearly, have never fought a day in your life.
surviving is not the word
@@kiaadams104
Your comment shows that you have no idea what you're talking about! None of them dominated! It was a very very close fight. Bivol himself says in this video that he needed to bring more aggression and moves. Artur was definitely more aggressive and landed many decisive punches. So at least he won fair and square.
In a 15 round surely Arthur would dominate bivol.
But bivol did really well, tbh. I had him untill the 10 round.
But then he was running, hugging and countering with combos. Artur initiated the exchanges. All these reasons are why judges gave Artur the win.
In the rematch again the same thing might happen, bivol is the favourite to win however. Artur needs to be more fast and accurate, level up in rematch
Bivol will be on top if he throws more volume. But again be careful getting hit by Artur is bad.
Survive??? Youre delusional 😂
Gracious in victory and defeat, proper class and pure display of 2 of the greatest light heavyweights in the modern era. I had Bivol up by 2-3 rounds but it is what it is. Bivol rest up and we go again
I understand how he compares their fight with the Leonard hagler fight .
What a humble legend hope he nails it next time.
