Why Beterbiev vs. Bivol needs a rematch to determine light heavyweight supremacy
Briefly

"... If I have this chance [for a rematch], yes. This is my dream: to be undisputed." Bivol expressed his aspirations following a close fight and the need for perfection if an opportunity arises.
"Bivol caught many of Beterbiev's vaunted power shots on his high guard. But that accumulation of shots, even blocked, made their impact." This highlights the toll taken by Beterbiev's power despite Bivol's defensive skills.
"Beterbiev earned the majority decision -- 115-113, 116-112 and 114-114 -- but it was Bivol whom the public seemed to favor." This indicates the fight was close and opinions on its outcome varied.
