Sergey Alexandrovich Kovalev vs. Igor Gennadyevich Mikhalkin & Dmitry Bivol vs. Sullivan Barrera RBR

The casuals don't care about non national fighters.
The demogoofs don't care about Kovalev unless he's fighting one of their sperm providers.
The racist POS Wilder haters tune in to see him exposed.
The GENUINE FANS chose the Showtime card to watch Wilder finally step up.
Main Events did NOTHING TO PROMOTE THIS CARD.

Wilder simply promotes himself.

Your thread and HBO put the far better fighters on.

Showtime put the far less predictable fights on....

Though Dirrel has become something of a SMW/LHW version of Tor Hamer.

Imagine his rise and fall if only he'd gotten the nod in the Froch fight???

 

Krusher is back once again,it seems. Watch out Berbie!

 

Mikhalkin is deceptively a good fighter, tough, takes a shot, keeps coming and is fit, awkward and a southpaw, his left hand had power. It wasn't one of his best performances but Kovalev did what he had to do.

 

This. Some guys you just don't look great against, even when you dominate (which Kovalev did).

 

It looks like we will see Sergey Kovalev vs Joe Smith Jr in july.

 

Whoa, not a bad fight, a gift to Joe really, coming off a year lay off straight into a title shot?
I guess 175 WBSS is happening overall and they don't want to make Bivol-Kov just yet.

 

Hopefully it does.

 

I just watched Bivol vs Barrera and i was very impressed by Bivol, he boxed very well, showed good hand speed and power, and finished the show with a ko.
