This fight got a bit overshadowed last night.

This kids a beast no other way of putting it.




Thankfully the Cleverly fight didn't happen that would of gotten real ugly.

I predict many more will want no part of him.
Barrera's a solid, top 5 LHW imo with a lot of experience and momentum and was completely out of his depth. Clinical performance.

Totally forgot about this fight.

Ah sorry about ruining the result.
I'd definitely recommend still giving it a watch though.

He's everything Naoya Inoue is - but in Light Heavyweight frame.. Phenom.

Thing about Light Heavyweight division - It's top heavy. Barrera and Eleider are maybe only two really good gate-keepers, guys below them are far off their level - and guys above them: Kovalev, Badou, Stevenson(If he still has it), Gvozdyk, Betterbiev - are all PFP level fighters, true elite... So what do you do with Bivol now? Is there enough money to make Kovalev vs Bivol happen?
I heard that there's big card in plan for Day of Russian Boxing (July 22)... maybe some investors could put up money to stage that one? I'd love it.

Phenom is a great way of putting it.
Exactly how I see the division. I am a fan of both Kovalev and Bivol but feel that would be a passing of the torch fight especially after seeing last nights performances. (Mikalkhin better than expected but I thought Kovalev looked quite bad).

I'd love nothing more than wbss to pick it up and have a LHW tournament. These beasts need to fight each other.

Hard to gauge how good he was prior to this fight but sounds as if he did a real.number on barrera.

Its, okay i was going to watch it after work today. Still buzzing from the Wilder/ortiz fight.

I called it a while ago, Bivol is the next big thing at 175, the guy is a special talent. Kovalev is going to get krushed.

Andre Ward should fight him
