What did we make of the fight ?
My initial thoughts straight after the fight without scoring it round by round , thought that bivol may have done enough from banking early rounds even though bieterbiev finished the stronger, that or a draw,, but it was tight . But I need to watch it again.
A classic chess match with two classy fighters,
Great card as well

I thought Bivol but would have understood a draw
One judge was def on crack scored so wide
Elite high level boxing brilliant to watch as both guys could not afford to switch off at any second...Bivol especially due to the obvious power of Beterbiev, but he also couldn't as Bivol could bank points.
Have to run it back - with Saudi $ but in a better more deserving stadium with fitting atmosphere for such a generational match up -

As a boxing fan I’m against this fight , just don’t think a legend of the sport should be getting back in the ring and risking his health at 58 years old .
At the same time I hope mike knocks him the fuck out .🤣
But I fear if he doesn’t achieve that early he tires , Paul is nothing special but credit where it’s due he can actually bang a bit , that’s my concern a very tired mike gets knocked out .
The Taylor serrano fight is a real contest though , the first was the best female fight I’ve seen , should be good .

Mike looks every year of his 58. This isn't a boxing match.

I hope Mike comes alive and KOs Paul in the final round. He looks nothing like his sparring videos. Perhaps he's been told not to knock him out
Dude. He's 58, deep in to the final rounds. His sparring videos were cuts of a few seconds.

I want my money back.

While these two "fighters" want another 20 million each, so.... points decision, rematch.
Predictable script, with 20/20 hindsight. -
A snore fest , a shit boxer v an old man , no surprises

I know. But my childhood memories of him are immense

After the 1st round I hoped we might see a decent fight, then about halfway through the 2nd you could see where it was headed.
Good payday for both...
Saw a comment on SM that Paul had a clause if he wins, he gets Eastwood and Freeman next 😄

Same. And what I watched wasn't that.
