Hey Barrera maybe you shouldnt have turned the Kovalev fight down then huh ?

There is no other available better opponent for Kovalev to fight (without going out of his way to make a deal for a fight)

I'm so confused right now. Main Events offered Barrera a rematch clause with Kovalev, even though Kovalev is the champ? Wtf? Why? And Barrera thinks they are so scared of Kovalev facing good opposition that they... were willing to let Kovalev fight him TWICE? So either Barrera doesn't think he qualifies as good opposition, or he makes no sense.

this is a strategic move by barrera's team..they want to go for the less experienced and on paper easier target than the rest of the other beltholders..with barrera's shaky chin..it could very much backfire..and he should stop being a hypocrite as he was offered the kovalev fight but turned it down for whatever real reason

Barrera shouldn't have turned down a fight with Kovalev then.

this guy might be bigger joke then Rigo ROFL. cant wait till Eastern European Bivol takes his head
off

[steeve steel]

If Barrera loses to Bivol, which I think he will, he will cry his eyes out!

True or not that last line by Barrera was gold.
