Arthur somehow manages to get through that and responds well with a shot to the body. He wants to get through to the bell here and that will be a real positive if he can do just that.

A minute to go in the final round.

Bivol did really well there to up the pace ever so slightly. I think Lyndon Arthur is starting to struggle here.

This is what you call a shutout. In other news, I need to leave for the airport in less than eight hours. Could do with some more KOs, chaps.

There's a glimmer of more aggression from Arthur at the start of round eight as he gets a good shot onto the body before following up with a blow to the head, but you can see why he's been so cautious because that just prompts Bivol to get a really good combination through.

Hang on, a shot to the body by Arthur midway through the round seems to do some damage to Bivol as he backs off a bit, before Arthur then lands a really good combination - his best of the fight so far.

Much better round from Arthur!

Arthur is not being hurt by anything from Bivol, I don't see any panic in him.

It's getting to the point now where he has to go for it. He's got to start throwing more punches.

Bivol is suffocating the space of Arthur all of the time. He's getting that front down first.

Arthur is losing rounds comfortably and is not willing to engage.

Bivol attacks with the left jab from the outset, wearing Arthur down before stepping it up and switching to more powerful shots to the body.

Arthur gets in one good shot to the body but once again it isn't enough to bother Bivol too much.

We've passed the halfway point and Arthur is still going, so he can draw encouragement from that, but he needs to start showing more aggression. Bivol continues to lead everything at the moment, with Arthur focused on containment.

It makes for a quieter round six but Bivol continues to land the better punches to keep picking up the points.

Lyndon Arthur is nowhere near busy enough. I'd like to see Bivol up the pace more now.

If Arthur is going to try to win, he is going to have to take risks.

Arthur isn't moving particularly well and that's making him a pretty easy static target for Bivol's fast jabs.

Every time Arthur attacks, Bivol responds fast and hard, a couple of strong one-twos getting through in this round.

Another comfortable one for Bivol.
