Barrera's chin is unlikely to hold up here. Even if it's only knockdowns, it's unlikely he'll win in my opinion. Just imagine that Bivol beat Valera in only his 7th bout, and didn't go down like Barrera did.
Like "I'm gay"? Eh, won't be all that shocking. It's 2018. Orlando Cruz and Yusaf Mack have blazed a trail. He'll still be a bad ass, and he's still going to ram his dick down Barrera's throat regardless of his orientation.
Well stop waffling and pick one! Bivol or Barrera?!?! (or, schlong or cooch?!?!, if that's what you meant)
I've already said many times, Bivol will remain undefeated until Ward comes back from retirement and beats him. I think he has too much for all the current guys including Kovalev.
He's ready. He's prime. If he loses (and it wasn't some weird flukey situation like a bogus DQ, robbery or chintzy physician's stoppage on an insignificant cut) then a lot of us were just very wrong.
Funny how sometimes you just dont see what others do.(aka i dont think Bivol is anything special) But Barrera is likely one step behind. Bivol via competitive UD.
Barrera-Bivol is a 50-50 fight between two top 5 light heavyweights. I don't know why people consistently underestimate Barrera, he's a very good fighter. This will not be an easy fight for Bivol.
