Chilemba decision. Proved his class against several top names. Ward completely schooled Barrera, and prior to that Barrera had fought no one. Shot Lacy and Murat? No reason to favor Barrera here.
I'd pick Chilemba and easily, Sullivan looked so bad against Ward I'm not even sure he's like top 10 fighter. He just looked plain crude. Maybe he was shook.
Chilemba decision, because he's both more proven at the top level and looks better. Still a decent fight tbh.
Chilemba but he doesnt school Barrera in any way, and I wouldnt be surprised at all if Barrera eeked out a decision. It would definitely be competitive. Chilemba fights to the level of his opposition.
I see Barrera winning more comfortably than Kovalev did. He's very underrated since Ward loss, but he is still somewhere around top 5.
What? Still? ... cool, except he never was top 5 in the first place. Barrera was a promising prospect, no more, no less. Based on the Murat stoppage you might - might - have just been able to squeeze him into a LHW top 10, but only if you were feeling particularly generous.
