    Easy for Parker as expected when his opponent had no time to prepare.

    I can’t blame Bakole for taking it as I’m sure it was life changing money but it’s a shame we didn’t get a decent version of him

    Bakole has made a mockery of his own ability there. Top quality fighter, arguably world class, and then puts a show on like that due to tiredness and lack of preparation due to money. Haven’t seen a fat mess like it.

    Very fair point but despite his performance against Joshua, he was never a world class fighter with as much respect to be lost. Bakole is unreal regularly on his day but money and his management have let him down tonight, shame really. I would have fought for a tenth of the price and lasted just as long.

    This is some performance from Beterbiev, even though the mad scorecard had Bivol ahead after 4

    Outstanding response from Bivol. He wins it for me by 2 rounds. What a fight.

    I agree with you, but wouldn't be surprised to see a draw.

    Superb by Bivol. Two outstanding fighters and the expectation of Beterbiev is fair but that was top drawer. I was dropping off to sleep when it looked like it might have been going one way but fair play. Got a trilogy written all over it.

    Another outstanding 12 rounds. I felt it was close, again, but had Bivol by a couple.
