Does anyone know who this Igor is? Is Kov just going to smash him?

He will probably get put out just like Shabransky did.

 

[City_Lights]

He will probably get put out just like Shabransky did.

That's what i assumed. Was hoping for a step up for Kov but he will probably fight the winner of the other fight.

 

[PHATV]

And we are live!!!

 

[ArtemV]

Bivol is looking good right now, 2-1 Bivol.

 

[Mr2urbo]

Barrera is the most vulnerable fighter for the first 4 rounds, its round 5 and this is where we see who Bivol really is

 

[1122]

bivol tiring it seems, punches not as sharp her in rd 5

 

[Cheese]

Berrera getting worked. He need to get on tge backfoot amd make Biv come to him

 

[ArtemV]

Bivol 4-1 so far. Looking good, but Barrera is making him work. Not landing much clean shots, though. Bivol is landing all the jabs.

 

[ArtemV]

Bivol 5-1

 

[ArtemV]

Bivol 6-1. I wish Bivol would use more body work. Would open up more openings for clean right hands.

 

[Mr2urbo]

5 to 2 Bivol, if Bivol’s got good conditioning he’s got this, now on to Wilder vs Ortiz...

 

[ArtemV]

Bivol 7-1. Barrera can't handle the speed.

 

[ArtemV]

Close round, but probably Bivol 8-1.

 

[ArtemV]

Bivol 9-1. Bivol is looking great, despite having slowed a little bit.

 

[ArtemV]

Bivol 10-1. Barrera has very little for him in these later rounds.
