FS1 Barthelemy vs Mendez RBR Discussion Thread

Some guys can only fight coming forward some only when you come to them , Mendez is the second one if you stay away have a longer reach that's what's going to happen.

Calm down Castro jr, It has nothing to do with one being Cuban since Mendez isn't ,the fight was boring, only picked up at the very end. 8 rounds of Both of these guys talking to each other, with one flicking out his jab more than the other. Barthelemy carried the fight he was running out of steam a bit by the end, but Mendez was just doing nothing the whole entire fight, and the fker acted surprise when they announced he lost too. Neither guy is anything great, but Argenis was just there for posing and surviving not boxing .

This guy is one of the biggest Cuban haters on here. Either that or he doesnt know wtf he's watching. Or most likely both. Mendez was the one not doing SH*T in there.

Pretty terrible fight all around - those point deductions were crappy - but overall, I'm not too enthused about seeing Bart on the tube anytime soon. ANd Mendez - wow - how fast things change after that KO of Salgado. I was so high on him thinking he could be the truth This guy is one of the biggest Cuban haters on here.

fell asleep on this fight. why did they start it so late? It was a weeknight ffs

Bryan Vasquez vs Barthelemy should be next

Man...I almost the same as you. Mendez has the talent and skills but does nothing with it. A lot of people that Mendez was scared and didn't want to pull the trigger. However, Mendez is known to fight like this. This fight was no different. He thought the name of the game was posing he landed one then posed for the rest of the round like. "Hey mami mira la trompa que le meti!"

I'll die happy if i never see mendez in the ring again wouldn't miss a thing. Barthelemy was the only one doing anything in there. Man...I almost feel the same as you.

Here's what I said about the rematch: I expect this rematch to go the distance. Barthelemy needs to stay on the outside, use his jab and let Mendez initiate the actions. Mendez is not comfortable when he has to come forward. a) For those who expected a quick knockout this time again, the first fight was an anomaly. Mendez was extremely weak because he cut too much weight before. b) Mendez is absolutely lost if you force him to come forward and don't give him counterpunching opportunities. Barthelemy had the height and reach to make him uncomfortable and did exactly what he needed to do, even if it wasn't spectacular. Now he's a world champion and will surely be involved in more exciting fights. Barthelemy vs. Farenas could be a good fight. Al Haymon has a new world champion lol

115-111 bart Sounds fair. Did Fox even show the scores? Must of missed it. The right man won. Pretty clear.

lame ass boring bart knew he could take him out, should have gone for it, now he is just another low reward boring Cuban boxer and not even high risk, back to espn, luckily who advises these fighters???????????????

Lol how could Mendez in his wildest dream think he was even close to winning? This is boxing not posing.

Was Mendez seriously raising his hand up? He didn't do ****, gave a soccer player esque performance at times, and was hoping for a robbery, what class.

This dude really thought he won... that face... was better than expected

And new! :boxing: 115-111 Barthelamy with 2 points deducted for low blows

Bart wins the 12th by a good margin. No scorecard. Point deductions, probably be a close one on one of the judges cards. 115-111 bart

I knew Mendez going down the last time was a fluke but f-ing Mendez deserves to loose! Too much damn posing! Who the hell do you think you are....Mayweather *****? Wow.....and I'm a big Mendez fan but that was bs!

Barthelamy IMO could've turned it up earlier like he did in the 12th. He just had no respect for Mendez and it was obvious. Interested to hear these cards
