Comments Thread For: Sullivan Barrera Accepts Offer To Face Artur Beterbiev

[TheCell8]

"With the way Beterbiev has looked"....One fight? Sub Par gets a KO in 4 rounds. Wow he sucks. So does Loma suck too because of the Linares fight? I bet Usyk sucks as well with the Bellew fight Please. How long have you been a boxing fan?

It's the inactivity as well.

He's been fighting only once a year and getting older. Sometimes having that one performance late in your career can make all the difference.

He was nearly KOed. It wasn't a flash knock down either. He was badly hurt.

Barrera fights anybody, I love that. Yeah, he lost some, but his resume reads who's who of LHW

Beterbiev is getting on could be a good time for Sullivan to get this fight even though he is older than Artur. Artur's whole career was plagued by promotional disputes it's a real shame the small amount of fights he has been able to have.

I smell a possible upset brewing. Barrera can take a lot of punishment, and is usually only beaten by attrition. Bertibiev is kind of a KO artist with a suspect chin. Not sure if he’ll be able to provide the necessary attrition, while withstanding Barrera’s assult

Ward floored Barrera, I think Beterviev KOs him inside 6.

lmao Haymon ain't putting Brown in with Gvozdyk or Bivol. He ain't shipping off his only decent fighter at 175 to fight on ESPN LMAAOOOO. If he is smart he will join TR like Beterbiev and Alvarez and he can fight three or four of them. ESPN gots 175 all sewed up son.

Gvozdyk will have his voluntary, and the next day his 30-day negotiating period will start. If Top Rank comes with a junk offer, the fight will go to bids (Browne isn't Stevenson or anything, but Browne has been building and Gvozdyk-Browne is easily big enough to chief support a major fight card, possibly headline it's own show, and who knows what Arum is willing to put up for Gvozdyk).

Browne wins the fight and he can dictate his own legacy.

more of your speculation. Browne is announcing his late summer fight any day now which kills any chance of getting Gvozdyk next. Gvozdyk will get at least two voluntaries that way.

Haymon won’t have him go the wbc route. Even if Browne won that belt pbc has zero to offer him.

Beterbiev already had a belt and dumped Haymon and pbc. Alvarez had a belt and dumped pbc.

Browne should do the same thing. The cupboard is empty at 175 at pbc.

Top rank has a strangle hold on 175. If Browne wants to get paid and build a legacy he needs to make the move. Just like Jermall needs to go to DAZN.

Damn this is a good fight. Good job Bob man.

Possible co main for Kovalev/Alvarez?

What I was thinking. The man deserves some respect. Not only has he fought nearly everyone, he has not been an easy out. He has not always performed great, but he is a true fighter. If 60% of boxers were like him, boxing would be HUGE.

Barrera gonna wreck this fake hypejob. Thank god joke promoter Kathy Duva is out of the picture, she couldn't do jack chit for Barrera's career and was only good for being an hbo scheduling agent.

You said the same thing when Barrera fought Bivol bro...then he got outboxed for 12 rounds and knocked the **** out. Barrera doesn't have a great chin, if Beterbiev connects flush Barrera will go down.

[Rip Chudd]

Let's go Barrera!!! Dude will fight anybody
