I read the HBO mob were critical he didn't get Barrera out quicker, no wonder fans get so confused buying the hype they peddle.
I didn't hear them be critical of bivol for not koing him sooner, they seemed to like him a lot, maybe I'm wrong though...

On the form of both of them on Saturday I would give bivol the edge just now, but maybe kovalev wasn't at full power v a southpaw and someone he knows he. An beat easy.... Who will win, there's only one way to find out

Fiiiiiiiiiight
I don’t remember the HBO crew saying anything about Bivol needing to KO him earlier either. They were pretty high on Bivol.
