    If Barrera can get past his usual knockdown, then we got a fight. He seems to sharpen up considerably after that.

    Yeah always seems to wake him up and then he starts to get to work, it’s almost like before the early knock downs he can’t find his range, I’m concerned about the fact bivol has said he’s not going to get full throttle straight away when really that’s exactly what he should do.

    Pretty sure Bivol takes it, but don't think he finishes him off early (1 or 2) as Barrera seems to be the Cuban version of N'Dam. Bivol by mid to late stoppage is most likely.

    Barrera is quite crafty and recovers well.
    Contrary to popular belief Bivol is not a huge puncher, though he has a very good power.

    His accuracy and timing is what makes his punches deadly.
    Bivol TKO12.

    If Barrera can withstand the early assault it will turn into a boxing match that favors Barrera and I feel he will outbox Bivol to a win if that happens. Barrera did stand up to Joe Smith Jr's power who arguably is the hardest puncher in the division so he can take a punch and recover.

    Bivol will win, but concerning the difficulty Bivol will have knocking out Barrera, depends largely whether or not Barrera was drug tested, we all know the system is prejudiced against people that look like Golovkin.

    Will Bivol's glass stand up to Barrera's shots? Will Barrera stand up to Bivol's?

    This is what will be answered this weekend.

    His testosterone is INCREDIBLY low. Mark Steyn and Jordan Peterson should run and bring some sanity back to Canada!

    And his speed, he can really unleash rapid bursts of lefts and rights when he wants to.
