Don’t know anything about the guy Kovalev is fighting. It’s interesting that Barrera turned down the Kovalev fight but is fighting Bivol instead.

Maybe barrera thinks he has a better chance and is getting more money.

He probably does think that, but I wouldn't be so sure. It's almost a case of "choose your poison!". I'm mega impressed with Bivol, but he hasn't had many fights . Barrera is a top fighter with loads of experience. The division pecking order will take shape after these fights.
You won't get many better doubleheaders than this.

I feel the same way. Barrera I think loses to both. Kovalev has proven to be a legit top fighter but Bivol is heading that way. So Barrera is probably hoping that Bivol is more hype.

Main event looks a bit of a mismatch on paper. Dont know much about Mikhalkin but lost to a really poor fighter (Clerverly flattened him) and took 3 goes to convincingly beat Ngumbu who isnt bad but nowhere near Kovalev standard. Easy night for Kov.

Think Bivol flattens Barrera too
