    After upsetting Shabransky, imo this win merits a second shot for Barrera against Ward.

    Barrera stole 3-4 rounds against Ward and this win over Shabransky merits him a second shot.

    Thoughts?

    No, its pointless, the second would resemble the first, Slava was a defenseless punching bag in there tonight, Ward wouldn't be.

    He's got to earn his shot imo..Take out Beterbiev, and I'll jump on board.

    I want to see the Kovalev rematch first, then Stevenson/Beterbiev/Gvozdyk are next.

    Meanwhile Barrera can improve his skills, last night's performance notwithstanding he still needs quite a bit of improvement to have a chance against Ward or whoever else emerges victorious of the above.

    He's gotta whip Kovalev's ass again first just just to really **** off the cheese and whine crew. I agree with drenlou.

    I just want to see the Kovalev rematch. Barrera should fight Smith Jr if he wins, Alvarez, Gvozdyk, or Beterbiev

    Ward vs barrera was very close, in a neutral venue could go barrera's way, i'd like to see him take out beterbiev first who's basically an exact style replica of shabranskyy

    Barrera/Gvozdyk would be a fun fight. Nobody wants to see Beterbiev caveman plodder around the ring. As boring as Frankie Gavin.

    It could ... except Ward would negotiate for Ward vs Barrera II to happen in Oakland, otherwise not at all.

    So would Barrera vs Smith Jr, regardless of whether or not he beats the Alien Executioner tonight.

    Still bitching about Oakland. Where did Kovalev get his belts taken?
    Where did Froch have his belts taken?
