Thompson hits Bivol’s ‘false victory’ over betterbiev, call age and sympathy

Lonnie B Thompson says he considers the victory of Dmitry Biblical as an ‘False victory ” About undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Betterbiev Saturday night in Riyadh. Thompson feels that the judges gave Bivol (24-1, 12 COs) for “to the finish line” and feel that the judges gave it “out of sympathy” to him.

AGEISM AGAINST BETTERBIV?

He also sees it as better biev (21-1 20 coes) lost because of ageism Because he is OD for 40 years, and Bisvol is the younger fighters. He spent more years left in the sport than better.

Many fans felt that Betterbiev should have made a decision, and that’s how I feel. The scores of the judge were as follows:

115-113
116-112
114-114

I scored it 115-113 in favor of Betterbeiv. He was the one who pushed the fight and chased to Biblical, who was running and holding.

“I think it’s extremely bull. It is as if they give him the decision to take it to the finish line because he did not win the battle, ”Lonnie B said Fighting typeand respond to Dmitri Bivol’s victory over Artur Betterbiev Saturday night on Dazn PPV.

“I gave him the first two rounds, but you’re sitting here acting like three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and no one, he (Biblical) did nothing in the middle of the fight. He clearly lost all the rounds. You can say that he did well in the tenth. He (Biblical) did well 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 Biblical is the younger man and has the American style everyone loves. So I feel like they say, ‘When you get to the finish line, we give him the victory. But he didn’t win the battle. I feel that they have given him the victory out of sympathy. “

This can be seen as the judges who want to balance things, given the previous victory of Betterbiev in October last year. Promoter Eddie Hearn, and many fans felt that Bivolution should have won that battle. Hearn complained about the loss night and day. At least now, he can finally close his yap.

Everyone knew that Turki Alalshikh wanted a trilogy game, and some fans believe it could also have played a factor in the standings. In a way, the right man won, even if he did not have in the true sense.

“People want to see him (betterbiev) and benavidez, which would be a fire worker. I don’t think he should fight BISVOL again because the style is too difficult because he is fighting to survive, ‘says Lonnie B.’ It’s hard to stop someone like that. He does not fight to dominate. You see, when he hits, he pulls his chin completely here. So it’s hard to get a clean shot. Then he grabs and holds on, and then jumps back because he has good legs. He really jumps back. “

A battle between Betterbiev and David Banavidez would be much more exciting to look at if Biblical fights him. Biblical would fight in the same way he did against Benavidez tonight, and it would be boring. If betterbiev and benavidez fight, it will be a struggle. This is what fans in the US would like to watch. Lonnie B says fans prefer to watch Bivol’s style over Betterbiev, and that’s not true. Most fans love action, not running.

“I think the style for Artur is difficult to look as good as against other opponents. So, I don’t think he should fight bisely again. I think he should fight against benavidez and those guys. If they want to give Biblical victory, cool, but he didn’t win the battle, ”says Lonnie B.
