Coach Stephen Edwards felt that Arturbiev and Dmitri Bivoled a draw or a narrow 115-113 for one of the two olds last Saturday between the undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Betterur and Dmitri Biblical. Edwards did not understand how one judge achieved it 8-4 (116-112) in Biblical favor.

The scorecard debate
The judges achieved a 12-round majority decision in Biblical favor with the scores of 115-113, 116-112 and 114-114.
Edwards thinks the judges did not give betterbiev (21-1, 20 food) for the first round, which he saw him win. Indeed, the judges carried all the early rounds in Biful’s favor, which did not match the actual struggle. It’s not just the first round. In addition, the judging staff gave Bisvol many rounds that he looked.
If you have conspiracy theories to explain why Bivol achieved a win in a fight that was an 114-114 draw, you could come up with something.
Some fans on social media believe that there was an agenda for Biblical to get the win, because there is possibly more money to own the four belts. These are the reasons:
- Canelo Alvarez Rematch
- Promoted by Eddie Hearn
- David benavidez: The Mexican monster said he prefers to fight Biblical as betterbiev
- Dazn: BIVOL FIGHTS ON DAZN
One thing that bothered Edwards was the comments of the Dazn announcement that the Betterbiev worked against Biblical 2 match last Saturday. He felt that they had chosen biblically, even with the repetitions of the rounds. This is something I also noticed.
I had to turn off the sound Because what they said does not match the actual struggle. They all sounded like a portion of cheerleaders rooting for Biblical. It was strange. You can see who they preferred, and not just during the fight. Even before the game started, they sounded preference to Biblical. It is difficult for commentators to hide their prejudice, but the crew that worked the fight did a bad job to do so.
Comment problems
“I don’t like the way the (dazn) broadcasters prefer everything Biblical does. In the first part of the fight, better Biev had a good round, and they showed highlights of Biblical. The same happened in the first fight, ”Stephen Edwards said Millcity BoxingTalk about the favors that Dazn commentators for Dmitri Biblical showed in his fight against Artur Betterbiev last Saturday night.
“I said to myself, ‘When it’s near, they’re going to give it to Biblical. “For me, there was no separation between the two. The fight looked like a draw. On the stretch, I thought Betterbiev won the tithe, Biblical won the eleventh, and Betterbiev won the twelfth.
“The fight was in the balance that went down the stretch. I have no problems with 6-6, which is 114-114. I have no problems with 115-113 anyway. I felt that Betterbiev took over the middle rounds, and Biblical arrived. It was a back-and-forth thing. I think Betterbiev didn’t get credit for the earlier rounds, ”says Edwards.
It was a dead even fought. Therefore, it is disappointing to see that two judges do it so wrong and give Biblical an undeserved victory. The commentator of the team that works the fight on the Dazn broadcast made it sound like total dominance for Biblical.
“In the first round, I thought Betterbiev won, but someone said Biblical was rising by 30-27,” Edwards said. “I felt that Betterbiev would have won the first round. Many did not happen. It was probably another draw, but I thought better Biev used it a little. When he (Betterbiev) cut him in the final round, I thought it was going to be 6-6 or 7-5.
“I was actually shocked to hear 116-112. None of the guys won eight rounds, ”Edwards said of the judge, Mike Fitzgerald, who achieved the fight 8-4 in Bivol’s favor.
‘The (dazn) commentators must be completely objective. I feel many times they are biased. I feel like they have an agenda. For two battles in a row, they benefit bi -it -consistently, even with the repetitions.
