Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev Scorecards & Punch Stats

The punch statistics and scorecards have been posted for the high-stakes rematch between light heavyweight bangers Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

The 175-pound fighters collided on Saturday, the 22nd of February as part of Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia, atop a boxing card that featured other prominent battles, including Joseph Parker’s thumping knockout win over late replacement opponent Martin Bakole.

While the first fight between Beterbiev and Bivol was close, with the former annexing the latter’s world title to become the undisputed champion at the weight, Bivol developed further and adapted for the second fight, and had — per the punch stats — done more than enough to warrant a decision on the judges’ scorecard.

“Both fighters came out more aggressively at the beginning of their rematch than they did in their first encounter,” Compubox said.

“From the sixth round on, Bivol found another gear while Beterbiev slowed down. Bivol landed 170 punches – the most by a Beterbiev opponent.

“After averaging 35 punches thrown and 12 punches landed per round in their first encounter, Bivol averaged 46 and 14 respectively.

“Beterbiev reached double digits in five of the twelve rounds, while Bivol landed at least ten punches in eleven of the twelve rounds. One judge scored the fight a draw. The other two judges scored the fight 116-112 and 115-113, both for Bivol.”

Here are the official scorecards:

Speaking after his win, Bivol said: “I’m just so happy. I went through a lot during the last years.”

“To be honest, I lost, and I felt a little easier, maybe. I didn’t have too much pressure like the time before. And I just wanted to work from the first round till the end of the 12th round.”

“The difference was me. I was better. I was pushing myself more. I was more confident and lighter. And I just wanted to win so much today.”

Said Beterbiev: “I don’t want to talk about the decision. It’s tough. I congratulate Bivol and his team. I don’t know [what was different]. I think this fight was better than the first time.”

“Actually, I didn’t even want the second fight. It wasn’t my choice. But, no problem. We can do the third fight.”
