That’sWorld Championship BoxingSaturday, on HBO.
I got my eyes on Bivol
“Beat each other really really hard” lmao tell me that didn’t sound wrong 😂
They're going to beat each other very very hard, huh…
Co main event better than the main event. #BivolBarrera
Man I really need to get a firestick😂
Good sportsmanship.
I think if Bivol can get past Carrera, then the next fight to make is Bivol vs Kovalev
Kovalev winner
fucked up Kovalev ' afterWard fights
Great video. #Boxing
Team Bivol.
CANELO CHINGA TU MADRE , ………
I want to see both HBO and Showtime. Definitey a lot of boxing and UFC goijg this weekend.
HBO lacking showtime killing them
Russian guy is going to win
Mikhalkin is a feather fisted bum. 9 KO's in 28 fights.. Absolutely appalling that HBO took this fight, and made it the MAIN EVENT. It should have been a pre-lim fight.. u know, the one that starts at 6:00 PM, the fight thats not televised LOL .. Now Bivol vs Barrera, thats a different story!!
Why is kovalev fighting bums ?
