This are really good news!! Erislandy Lara is a Great boxer so is Barthelemy

[Kball15]

Barthalemy is horrible. He isnt a very good boxer, is EXTREMELY raw, does a loooot of things wrong, and is unbelievably boring.

He is a 10 fight losing streak waiting to happen

lmfao.. Guillermo Rigondeaux.. still in cuba

I have to disagree quite strongly in your assessment of Barthelemey. He is extremely sound technically. He is a better technical fighter than most seasoned pros. His problem is that he has the punching power of a quadriplegic. You are right on the boring part as well. What a snoozer.

He escaped by speedboat to Mexico so he left illegally. Rigondeaux supposedly didn't leave because they are threatening to harm his family if he does.
