Comments Thread For: Kovalev vs. Barrera in Talks For Year-End Showdown

[eco1]

Not a bad comeback fight for Kovalev. Barrera is coming on strong and will reveal if Kovalev still has it or if Ward took his soul with that beating. Kovalev quit to Ward his last time out. Barrera will stringently test "Quitter" Kovalev.

What beating? One punch?

Kova was ahead in the 2nd fight just to get hit in the balls.

The first fight, Kova simply won.

It is a shame we have such biased posters here.

Why would Duva match 2 of her top fighters? They probably will do a double header vs different opponents.

Because HBO's not going into the pocket for a doubleheader with the two. Heck, they may barely be willing to go into the pocket for Kovalev-Barrera.

HBO is trash now lol

Its a good fight, but is Kov even gonna fight again? Dude seemed a lil shook with the loss regardless of the low blow KO situation. It certainly seemed like the result was a foregone conclusion with how things were trending & I believe Kov knew that as well.

Kovalev is a scrub that got exposed. The sooner he's gone, the happier I'll be.

I get the feeling Kovalev is done. He may fight on, but the Ward fights either took something from him or exposed something.

One of my greatest wishes in boxing is to see that cherry picking slacker Stevenson KO'd and give his belt to someone who deserves it. However, I do not see Adonis taking such a risk against a red hot Barrera.

Kov seems like he's doing good with his money judging, he's living good and he isn't spending it much. Kov's purpose of boxing was just in it for the money, and probably when he got that (he probably got 1.5-2million each in both ward fights) he thought it is time to hang up, dont focus it much.

Kovalev won the first fight and Ward had to resort to PEDs in the second fight because that was the only way he could beat Kovalev. Where'd Ward get that power from? Never had it before. But suddenly in the second fight he's punching harder than ever before. Cheating bum.

Waddup Eff, I think the main thing Kov will lack to find is motivation.

He hardly collected 3 belts and lost them.

Vs Ward he was at the short end of the stick in the first fight- frustrating, and got koed in the rematch-very frustrating.

Now Ward has the belts and he won't fight him a third time, Stevenson is on his "Sven Ottke" run in Canada,
so I dunno what is left for Kov expect to get a title shot at CW but again, all CW titilists are stacked in a tournament lol

Kovalev is fcked up.

[The Hammer]

This is a very difficult fight for Kovalev coming off his two controversial "losses" to Ward.

Barrera is a top 5 light heavyweight.

They should have Sergey fight a warm-up opponent first, then perhaps Barrera next year.
