This is a really good match up on a stacked card. Excited for Saturday

Two guys in the lower top 50 of their weight class aren't world championship material. Tyson Fury was mocked, including by Jake Donovan, for fighting a guy with a similar ranking but Barrios gets a nice fluff piece from HaymonScene.

Barrios is an up and comer getting his first crack at a secondary title.

That's much different from Fury fighting bums while being at the top of his division.

I never mocked Fury-Wallin matchup, just the unbearable overkill in hailing Fury as the "lineal" champion.

Fury was fighting in a non-title fight. There's nothing wrong with tuneups. I also don't have a problem with up and comers getting exposure and being built up, but don't just hand them a title on a silver platter. They're putting the cart before the horse. Talent doesn't even matter anymore, it's all about having the right connections.

Very Tough test for him vs Akhmedov, I wouldn't consider it a upset if Akhmedov pulls it off . His movement, particularly his ability to side step and change angles will give Barrios some serious problems

Barrios gameplan better to go to the body relentlessly
