Comments Thread For: Barrera: Artur Beterbiev's Coach Knew To Avoid Me

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top light heavyweight contender Sullivan Barrera is still very upset that an IBF final eliminator bout against Artur Beterbiev has been derailed by his visa issues. Barrera, who is ranked #8 by the IBF (and also rated in the WBO and WBA's top 10,) said that he didn't hesitate when the fight was offered to him. [Click Here To Read More]

seems like barrera is getting short end of the stick here, could it be because he's with main events? who could barrera fight next?

Why would it matter that he's with Main Events? They just made a fight on the same card for Isaac Chilemba (ME) to fight Eleider Alvarez (GYM/Haymon).

either barrera just flat out has a big mouth or main events can't land him any significant fight

Barrera should thank god he didn't get this fight, because his career would be on life support.

[Calculating...]

Would be kind of harsh for Barrera but why not make Kovalev - Barrera? I know it'd be kind of too soon to feed Barrera to the sharks but, he'd have the opportunity to make some decent money and a chance at getting 3 belts.

Isn't Barrera Duva's fighter?

Yup duva fighter but he have this twisted imagination that beterbiev avoided him when fight was going to purse bid but he can't travel lol why would gym/haymon move him off that date and venue to satisfy Barrera?

[The Hammer]

Why not Barrera vs. Kovalev?

It's an easy fight to make, both are promoted by Duva.

Fix the visa issues

Which is true. Because Beterbiev would have dispatched him on the spot. But I assume that is of common knowledge, so Barrera must have found it out already.
