Comments Thread For: Bivol Believes Barrera's Reason for Picking Him Over Kovalev

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Dmitry Bivol initially considered Sullivan Barrera's choice between opponents as a slight against him. When the unbeaten WBA light heavyweight champion first learned Barrera opted to fight him instead of Sergey Kovalev on March 3, Bivol believed Barrera determined he would be easier to beat than Kovalev. Now that Kyrgyzstan's Bivol has heard Barrera's explanation from the challenger himself, the defending champion has a better understanding of Barrera's decision.

Duva ain’t Arum nor does she have the luxury pool of in-house fighters to mix it up. Why devalue one of her fighters first when her own can fight Bivol instead. Win win situation for Duva, and her boys are encouraged to say so

Let's see if we follow the bouncing ball of Barrera logic:

Turned down a second chance to fight Kovalev, which was less than the last time, even though Kovalev has a title this time, to fight for even LESS money against a dangerous opponent to get a title in the hopes of winning a title to get more money in a title unification NEXT time even though if he loses this time he will get less money losing out on a title in a weight class he could have got more money to lose a title bout by agreeing to fight Kovalev....

My brain kind of hurts.
