Basically they go down the list again and it falls on Barrera/Igor

Kovalev and Main events just lucked out and get to keep their IBF belt for another year.
His whole 2016 has just been mapped out too.

Pascal rematch, IBF mando then Ward.

Good for Kova. He shouldn't lose his title cuz Minor Events is **** promo.

Mikhalkin, who was a very good amateur at one time, is not one of the top East European light heavyweights right now. He is tough and so unlikely to be stopped, but his boxing skills are nothing special and he doesn't have world-class power like Kovalev and Beterbiev.

So Barrera has a good chance of winning this by decision.

And then we'll likely have Barrera vs. Kovalev, which will be easy to make since they both have the same promoter.

Main Events / Kovalev just got the luckiest break ever.

It helps that Barrera is also under Main Events, so they can put that fight together easily (assuming Barrera wins).

Then at the end of the year they get Ward.

I still think they're unbelievably lucky to get this break.

Usually I question some injuries like Lee's first one against Saunders and kell brook, but I think this one is real
