Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol: Why a rematch is the only way to go for both men after an unsatisfying end

Saturday's fight left many wanting more, including some better scoring from the judges
The first four-belt, undisputed championship bout in light heavyweight history on Saturday gave us 12 technical rounds between two pound-for-pound greats, with occasional pockets of two-way pressure and a thrilling amount of tension inside Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It also left us wanting more -- a lot more, in fact -- following a noticeable lack of closure on the scorecards.
In the end, Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) went the distance for the first time in his pro career by edging Dmitry Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) via majority decision in a hotly contested and disputed outcome as the judges scored it 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112.
