This is an excellent match up and a huge step up in competition for Dmitry Bivol. Let's see how he does with this test.

[Boxing Logic]

Kovalev-Jack and Bivol-Barrera would be a real nice HBO doubleheader for January or February of next year.

This is a very interesting fight.

Looking forward to this one.

I'm guessing Arum is shooting for Beterbiev vs Gvozdyk?

[Andre_parker1]

think barrera's experience may be the IT factor should they get it on after they win their respective bouts

[A.K]

This is a very interesting fight.

Looking forward to this one.

Oh? Causals look forward to this?

Surely a typo at the end? For the WBO? Normally I would caution against a fighter looking past an opponent, but Broadhurst's record is a shocker.
His last two fights he dropped back from 12 rounders to 8, and his last win came against Nader Hamden, a 43-year-old light punching former MW fringe contender.
Sorry Trent, but Bivol is going to punch your head clean off your shoulders and maybe Australian boxing will heed once again the danger of padding your record.

What's interesting is Badou Jack is still ranked no. 3 in the WBA, so where does he think he's going to pick up a belt?

Beterbiev is fighting Koelling for the IBF strap, whilst the WBO belt is vacant but Kovalev, Barrera, and Gvozdyk are the top three.

We all know Abominable Duckingson has a tight grip on the WBC with a mandatory postponed with Alvarez early next year.

So it really is shaping up as interesting to see who emerges from the dust.
