Bivol lost the 11th and 12th imo

Otherwise he won every round I saw.

Bivol seems a bit too passive. Chilemba appears to be pretty awkward but there was nothing I saw that made me think that Bivol could be affected by him.

I misunderstood. Had a few beers!

It's surprising they gave Chilemba any rounds in the first 8 or 9 though.

My prediction is 119-109 to Bivol. ( this is not what I saw, just what I’m predicting the judges will give).

Well 120, 120, 116 averages 119 so I will claim victory.

I think he beats Kovalev, probably in a cautious 12 rounder.

Max Kellerman annoys me. Blows every undefeated fighter than ****s on them once they lose.

As for Bivol, he seems to lack confidence in his chin given how passively he fights. Wonder if he's afraid of a lucky shot exposing him before he gets the big fight.

Sergey went off and hurt him.

Afraid he's gonna gas out like in the past.

Even after 4 imo

Bivol vs Alvarez then. Bivol will easily win , he won’t be as careless.

What happened to Sergey? Alvarez not supposed to be a hard-hitter and still dropped him.

Sergey always has gas tank problems that has always dogged him.

Alvarez seems very likable. Always thought Sergey was a bit of a dick.

Kovalev was completely open, this was more of him being careless imo.

Max Kellerman's lack of eye contact with the person he's interviewing always baffles me

Kovalev days in the big time are over or no ? He got badly beaten and is already 35.

I suspect he thought that Alvarez couldn't hurt him and just said **** defense. Also possible that his gas tank was running out and he needed to go all out while he could

People might still pay to watch Kovalev though. He's still gonna be entertaining.

RJJ saying "Kovalev is done at 35" is pretty rich.

I'd go out of my way to see a rematch of Kovalev/Alvarez.

Yes I’m actually interested in a rematch too if Kovalev doesn’t retire. It was a very entertaining tactical fight imo. I think this might be a career ending knockout though in terms of it ending anything that was left of his punch resistance. Alvarez looked pretty good but not a world beater or anything he was def losing the fignt pretty clearly until the knockout and nothing really seems to indicate he has power like that but it would be good for the sport if he fights and could beat Stevenson. I always loved watching Kovalev and paid a lot of money to go to his first fight with Ward he deserved better there but by all accounts he is a legitimately bad human like Duran was. Killed a man in the ring and seriously never showed any remorse at all lol. Combined with all the racist **** and you don’t get too flattering of a picture. Alvarez seems like a good dude happy for him

Kov always keeps his lead hand a little low but usually makes up for it with decent reaction time and movement. Rewatching that 7th, he really left his head out there on a few exchanges and I think he got caught after the 2nd or 3rd time.

I'd watch a rematch.

kov appears to be world class at blocking incoming punches with his nose and general face area
