This is bull****. Bivol fights #11 ranked guy for WBA title instead the #2 @sullivanbarrera. What are rankings for then? @MonteroOnBoxing https://t.co/jKTOYNPQZJ

That's the Beterbiev fight from March. I'm talking about the Bivol fight now. The WBA rankings have Bivol #1 and Barrera #2. Bivol is fighting the #11 ranked guy instead for the vacant WBA title.

Yeah i was referring to Barrera ducking beterbiev as you mentioned his upcoming fight...

[Satir]

Barrera lost his credibility after ducking Beterbiev

[sicko]

Damn HBO WTF! But it is a cheap fight for them!

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

Bivol/Broadhurst, Beterbiev/Koelling title fights? The belts have been vacant a few days and the sanctioning bodies have already f***** it up.

[Boxing Logic]

What a huge **** up. All the opportunity that Ward's retirement created, and boxing has already ****ed it up. Unbelievable. THIS IS WHY BOXING IS IN DECLINE!

[Madison Boxing]

who the **** is 'trent broadhurst'. been a great year for boxing but still, some of these 'world title fights' are laughable. Pluck some bum out of nowhere to challenge for them

[Feint First]

Kovalev-Shabranskyy, Beterbiev-Koelling, Bivol-Broadhurst. Wow, all the haters were right!!!

Without "boring" Andre Ward in the way at 175, we got all these incredible matchups now!

[garfios]

Its pretty pathetic stuff i agree.

But blame must be given to Barrera and Badou Jack for ducking, which is the reason we've got these terrible mismatches...but yea they surely could of found better guys than this. awful.

Barrera wanted to fight for the title and he is very outspoken about it. Check another thread where he talks about this. No ducking...
