Sullivan barrera is so underrated. He is a top flight light heavy who doesn't get the credit he deserve for OBVIOUS reasons.
Bivol has the hand speed advantage but that's about it. Sullivan has more power, tougher, and will bring the dog fight to him for 12 rounds.
Hbo is banking on Bivol as the new white (really asian) hype. Sullivan barrera will put a dent into HBO's plan once again
more evidence that ward is a sh-it boxer. almost every round in barrera-ward was very close. bivol dominated every round. ward is simply a manufacutured fighter and thats becoming more and more clear. without his cheating where he is? if you go by boxing talent and what a guy can actually do in the ring bivol is miles ahead of him. he doenst need to headbutt, tackle, hold nonstop, low blow over and over to win. ward took advantage of a corrupt system and made a lot money congrats to him but he didnt have the skils
It won't shock the world, some are picking him to beat Bivol.
Also, people seem to forget Ward handled and dropped Barrera in his debut fight at 175. They don't even give him credit for that lol.

Barrera had a chance to be the next big thing, but he lost he's unbeaten record. Without the 0 you don't get the hype, you don't have the mystery. Barrera is nothing special, he gets exactly the credit he deserves. He's top ten and that's it. He'll show that once again when he loses to Bivol.
I have seen them both fight and I think Bivol will win all the rounds and win by KO. We shall see in a few hours. When a boxer is very good and people say he is very good that isn't hype. That's just the truth.
Barrera couldn't even manage to make one round competitive against Andre Ward. Yes, Ward is great and we all expected him to lose that one, but for a guy to not even manage to make one round close against a guy coming off injuries and layoffs is concerning. Sure he's improved and has since picked up some nice wins but I don't think he'll have enough against Bivol who looks to be the goods.
"Sullivan Barrera is going to mildly surprise some of you on the forum" might be a more accurate thread title but it's not as catchy
I really see this as easy win for Bivol I think he is the goods.Now Barrera is a very good fighter and has some good wins and should not be dropped out of ratings or anything.But I just cant see any other outcome for this fight then a Bivol win and almost for sure by KO.Barrera chin is the prob and Bivol is I believe the REAL thing.We will find out soon.I just hope Barrera gets another good payday because 1 loss to another contender should not put him back at all.But it will everyone will be on here saying he cant fight for sh ite.And they wonder why some guys are afraid to take tough fights.
