An absolute pleasure to watch this. I'm glad neither has gone down at any point. Superb stuff. Absolute elite. I have Beterbiev winning by 3, maybe 4 rounds.

future
The discussion kicks off with Joshua's shocking defeat to Dubois, where many fans express disbelief over his performance. Critics highlight Joshua's form since his losses to Usyk, suggesting that he appeared gun-shy, lacking the aggression needed in the ring. There is a palpable sense of anxiety among the commentators about Joshua's future in the sport, especially considering the multitude of knockdowns he suffered during the fight.12
As the conversation unfolds, opinions diverge on the implications of Joshua's performance. Some argue that this may signal the end of his career, emphasizing the need for him to reassess his approach or contemplate retirement. Others criticize the lack of urgency in his corner, feeling that they should have pulled him from such a one-sided contest earlier.34
The sentiment shifts slightly as fans begin to discuss potential next steps for Joshua. While some believe he may not have the skill set to reclaim his status, others hold out hope for a comeback. Dubois, credited for his impressive performance, raises questions about how Joshua will deal with future matchups against formidable opponents.56
"Dubios destroyed him there. That was a brilliant performance."
"Thought he was going to stage a comeback them ooof."
Verdict
Overall, the thread reveals deep concerns regarding Joshua's boxing future. While Dubois is praised, Joshua's viability as a top contender remains in serious doubt. His next steps will likely determine his legacy and potential return to form.
Beterbiev gets the win on points. 115-113, 116-112, 114-114
Fair play Berbetiev, just edged it probably by being the aggressor.
Not a big fan of all these rematches, but will happily watch those two fight again
Bivol with better skills but Beterbiev looked as if he hurt him more.

What a fight! Beterbiev was the sole aggressor through the last half of the fight. I had Bivol winning, but I can't be surprised with the result, Beterbiev was the one going for it. I would definitely watch them fight again.
Great fight and an intriguing match up.
I thought Bivol edged it by a round or two but thought it could go either way with the judges. For it to go the other way by 4 on one judges card is insane.
I don't get the controversy that's visible on social media tbh. Bivol was clearly on the back foot most of the fight. 116-112 is complete rubbish but I do think the correct fighter won.
Really good fight, not sure the result would be any different in a rematch. Bivol didn't seem to hurt Beterbiev at all. Age might catch up with Beterbiev though.
Looking forward to the Jack Catterall v Regis Prograis fight.
