Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol vs. Sullivan Barrera Showdown Already in Play

Excellent. Losing to Ward doesn't really say anything, but Bivol sure looks promising. Can't call it at all.

the way he lost was troubling. usually ward has to resort to illegal tactics to beat his best opponents since he cant box with them and he didnt have to do that too much against barrera.

This means Kovalev will fight either Alvarez, Beterbiev or a posible WBO mandatory if he walks through Slava. I cross fingers for a match between Beterbiev and Kovalev.

This is one hell of a fight! My only concern is that Barrera has been dropped by Ward and Smith so if he can handle Bivol's power, that would be impressive.

"Barrera still needs to do his part, and defeat Felix Valera " How many hurdles does Barrera have to scale to get a shot at a title.
...Shabaransky, Joe Smith et all....

lol this.

everyone was hyped af, including myself, for the barrera v beterbiev fight.

not getting my hopes up for this either.

I don't even want to see Barerra get a shot unless it is Kovalev. If he can't make that fight what makes you think they can do it with another promoter?

If he fought Beterbiev he would have already got his shot.

Did not pass up on a shot at Andre Ward but passed up a shot at Berbetiev.

Makes me wonder what the TRUE FACTs are in "passing" up a shot at Berbetiev.

Ward's a bigger name and hyped to the heavens by HBO. Beterbiev is not a name and a much harder puncher. Better to take a points loss to HBO's poster boy than a KO loss to a barely known guy.
