Lonnie B Thompson says he considers Dmitry Bivo’s victory as “False victory “ On a champion of undisputed heavyweights Artur Beterbiev on Saturday evening in Riyadh. Thompson thinks that the judges gave Bivo (24-1, 12 KB) to “go to the finish line” and believes that the judges gave him “sympathy”.
Cheerbiev’s aging?
He also sees it as from Betbiev (21-1 20 KB) losing because of ageism Because he has 40 years of OD and Bivol is the young fighters. He has been in sport more years than Beterbiev.
Many fans have estimated that BETERBIEV should have received a decision, which I feel. The judge’s scores were as follows:
115-113
116-112
114-114
I marked him 115-113 in favor of Beterbeiv. It was he who pushed the fight, pursuing Bivo, who ran and held.
“I think it’s extremely Bull S ***. It is as if they attributed the decision to go to the finish line because he did not win this fight, “said Lonnie B to CombinationReacting to the victory of Dmitry Bivo over Artur Beterbiev on Saturday evening on Dazn PPV.
“I gave him the first two laps, but you will all sit here and act like three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and none, he [Bivol] did nothing in the middle of the fight. He clearly lost all these laps. You can say that he did the tenth. He [Bivol] did good in the eleventh and almost stopped in the twelfth.
“In my personal opinion, I think they have it for Artur because he is 40 years old, and Bivol is the youngest and has the American style that everyone loves. So, I feel like I say: “If you arrive at the finish line, we will give him the victory. But he did not win the fight. I think they gave him the victory of sympathy. »»
This could be considered as judges who wish to balance things, given the previous victory of Beterbiev against Bivol last October. Promoter Eddie Hearn, and many fans estimated that Bivol should have won this fight. Hearn complained night and day of this loss. At least now, he can finally close his yap.
Everyone knew that Turki Alashikh wanted a trilogy match, and some fans think it could have played a factor in the score. In a way, the good guy won, even if he didn’t do it in the real direction.
“People want to see him [Beterbiev] And Benavidez, who would be a firecracker. I don’t think he should fight Bivol again because this style is too difficult because he fights to survive, “said Lonnie B.” It is difficult to stop someone like that. He does not fight to dominate. You see, when he strikes, he laid his chin all the way back here. It is therefore difficult to get a clean blow. Then he catches and holds, then jumps back because he has good legs. He jumps very far.
A fight between Beterbiev and David Benavidez would be much more exciting to watch that if Bivol was to fight him. Bivol would fight in the same way as tonight against Benavidez, and it would be boring. If Beterbiev and Benavidez fights, it will be a fight. This is what fans of the United States like to look. Lonnie B says that fans prefer to look at Bivo’s style on Betbiev, and that is not true. Most fans like the action, not being executed.
“So I think this style is difficult for Artur to be as beautiful as against other opponents. So, I don’t think he should fight Bivol again. I think he should fight Benavidez and these guys. If they want to give Bivo victory, cool, but he did not win this fight, “said Lonnie B.
