Lonnie B Thompson says Dmitry Bivoli’s victory considers “A false victory ” Through an indisputable champion in the lightweight category Arthur Beterbiev on Saturday night in Riyadh. Thompson believes that the judges gave a buffalo (24-1, 12 ko) to “set up to the finish” and believes that the judges gave him “from sympathy”.
Ageism against Beterbiev?
Also sees it as a Beterbieva (21-1 20 ko) loss due to age Because he’s 40 years old and buffalo are younger fighters. He has been left in sports for many years than Beterbiev.
Many fans thought Beterbiev needed to make a decision, which I was feeling. The judge’s results were as follows:
115-113
116-112
114-114
I scored it 115-113 in favor of Beterbeiv. He was the one who pushed the fight, chasing the buffalo, which he ran and held.
“I think it’s an extremely bull ***. It is as if they were awarding a decision to make a goal because he didn’t win the fight,” said Lonnie B to Fixresponding to the victory of Dmitry Bivol over Arthur Beterbiev on Saturday night to DAZN PPV.
“I gave him the first two rounds, but you will all sit here and act like three, four, five, six, seven, seven, eight, and none, he [Bivol] He did nothing in the middle of a fight. He clearly lost all those rounds. You can say that he did well in the tenth. He [Bivol] He did well in the eleventh and almost stopped in the twelfth.
“In my personal opinion, I think they had him for Arthur because he is 40 years old, and he is a buffalo younger guy and he has an American style that everyone loves. So, I feel like they say,” If you get to the finish line, we will give him a victory. But he did not win the fight. I feel they gave him a victory from sympathy. “
This could be seen as judges who want to balance things, given the previous victory of Beterbiev over Bivel last October. Promotor Eddie Hearn, and many fans thought that the buffalo was supposed to win that struggle. Hearn complained on the night and day on that loss. At least now, he can finally close his YAP.
Everyone knew that Turki Alalshikh wanted a trilogy, and some fans believe that it could have played a point in scoring. In some ways he beat a real guy, even if he’s not in the true sense.
“People want to see it [Beterbiev] and Benavidez, who would be a firecracker. I don’t think he should fight the buffalo anymore because this style is too difficult because he is fighting for survival, “said Lonnie B.” It’s hard to stop someone like that. He doesn’t fight to dominate. You see, when he hits, he arrives at his beard to the end here. So it’s hard to get a clean shot. Then he grabs and holds, then jumps back because he has good legs. Jump really far away. “
The fight between Beterbiev and David Benavidez would be a lot more exciting to watch than to fight him. The buffalo would fight the same way as tonight against Benavidez, and it would be bored. If Beterbiev and Benavidez fights, it will be a quarrel. This is what fans in the US love to watch. Lonnie B says fans prefer to look at Bull’s style over Beterbi, which is not true. Most fans love action, not running.
“So, I think this style is difficult for Arthur to look as good as the other opponents. So I don’t think you should fight the buffalo anymore. I think you should fight Benavidez and those guys. If they want to get a buffalo win , Cool, but he didn’t win that fight, “said Lonnie B.
