Barrera landed only 10 from 333! jabs against the russian champion Bivol.How could this be possible, 3% ?!? Do you remember something like that in other (supposed to be) big fight?
Bivol is a master of the block and parry. Barrera is usually regarded as having a good, accurate jab, too. As the HBO crew pointed out numerous times, correctly, Bivol simply humiliated Barrera's jab. Such a ridiculously dominant performance that isn't getting enough attention.
especially when you consider the fact Barrera has been in with some highly rated 175 fighters and even p4p number 1 ward and was never dominated like he was last night.
I want ward to come back now lol.. after last night I am convinced Bivol would dominate him and give him a 12 round beating
Bivol's jab was the story of the fight, it was faster and landing all night. His step back - block/parry - counter jab game is a thing of beauty
