Sullivan Barrera vs. Seanie Monaghan - November 3, 2018

[Ruthless-RKO]

Former WBC International Light Heavyweight world champion Sullivan Barrera (21-2, 14 KOs) returns to the ring to regain his standing as one of the world's top light heavyweights. Barrera faces top five light heavyweight contender "Irish" Seanie Monaghan (29-1, 17 KOs) in the 10-round main event at The Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, NY on Saturday, November 3, 2018. The event is promoted by Main Events and will be streamed live via Facebook Watch as part of the Golden Boy Fight Night series.

Tickets are priced at $125 and $100 for VIP ringside seats and $50 for general admission. They are available to purchase now through Eventbrite or by calling Main Events at 973-200-7050 or emailing [email protected].

Barrera vs. Monaghan was originally scheduled to take place on August 18 but was postponed when Barrera suffered an eye injury. Barrera has since recovered, and Monaghan remained available to put the bout back on the Facebook Watch series, a collaboration between Golden Boy Promotions, Facebook and Main Events, offered to fans around the world via live online streaming.

Barrera, 36, a native of Cuba who defected to the United States after fighting for the Cuban National Team, now lives and trains in Miami, Florida. He makes his return to the ring after taking WBA Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol deep into the 12th round of their title fight in March before being stopped, by far the most difficult opponent of Bivol's professional career. The WBC ranks Barrera fourth in the competitive Light Heavyweight division.

Monaghan, also 36, is a Long Island, New York native with proud Irish roots. He began his professional boxing career at the late age of 28 but quickly made up for lost time. After his first and only loss as a professional in 30 fights to Marcus Browne in July 2017, Monaghan started his comeback quest with a win in November 2017 and intends to make up for lost time against Barrera.

About Barrera-Monaghan: This light heavyweight main event will headline the Saturday, November 3 card as part of the Golden Boy Fight Night series on Facebook, live from The Aviator.

Barrera inside 6.

[Ruthless-RKO]

They both 36!

[jamamb]

barrera will smash him, if barrera came out from the first bell and just let his hands go hed get a first round ko, way different levels, seanie was totally manufactured and found out big time when he stepped up vs browne

Yeh. Imagine Monaghan fought Adonis? browne already smashed him in a round was it?

[Oiky]

Barrera will beat him up

[Mexi-Box]

Barrera tries really hard, but he's just below elite level at this point in the division's history. In a weaker era, Barrera would be a champion for sure, though.

Yeh. Likely. If there was only one belt at LHW, instead of 4, he would never hold a belt.

Barrera by stoppage. Next, he should fight Marcus Browne, winner get a title shot

Free boxing on Facebook this weekend. Might be worth a watch. See ig Monaghan has improved.

[diddy]

Monaghan is awful. He will get smoked. Barrera is criminally underrated. Very good fighter.

Barrera is more of a boxer:

[jamamb]

he is but his power isnt bad and the difference in class i expected to be so great that hed just be able to get him out of there anyway

[Cent0089]

Monaghan is clearly B class boxer, but at least he deserved the money tonight. Surpried that Barrera did not stop him. Barrera vs Browne next please. Winner get a title shot

[KiwiRider]

One person voted Barrera decision
My hat goes off to that person

I sure didn't think it would go the distance.

Man, Barrera really has a talent for pushing out the sub-elite guys: Monaghan, Smith Jr., Valera, and Shabranksyy.
