    2-0 Bivol.

    Bivol cut, but on the side of the eye. Headbutt caused the cut.

    2-0 Bivol. He's significantly quicker than Barrera. He looks like he should be fighting at 168 though. He looks small on there.

    Round 2

    Bivol is catching Barrera's jab-2-hook combos on his crossed arms, countering nicely with power-jabs and 1-2s. A few of Barrera's hooks despite the blocking are skimming off Bivol's own forearm to scrape on the lacing side against his right eye, drawing blood (edit: RJJ theorizes it was a headbutt that a slow motion replay does reveal occurred - both might have been contributing factors). Bivol not bothered yet by it, even though a steady trickle is developing into his line of sight and streaking down his jaw. Bivol staying in control with fluid movement, a step ahead of Barrera, popping a masterful jab and keeping Barrera shy outside a few short-burst combos.

    10-9 Bivol

    20-18 Bivol

    Bivol reminds me of Golovkin so much, his stance, his face, the same look in his eye. But Bivol is far more light on his feet and bouncy

    Yep, might make Golovkin retiring more survivable.

    3-0 Bivol. Barrera looking slightly unsteady. He's not as sharp as he was earlier.
