Argenis Mendes looking to jump to 135 after protesting?

[DannYankee]

According to Barthelemy, who got stripped off his title after his win turned into no contest, he says Mendes is now willing to move 5 pounds north and not giving Barthelemy a well deserved rematch. That rumor has Rances angry and calls Mendes a coward, which to myself its clearly the right word to describe that move by the dominican.

I had a feeling this would happen. Hope it's not true though. Barthelemy deserves a rematch.

If Mendez has trouble making 130 and wants to move up then so what? Then try fighting him there or fight for the belt at 130. Doesnt matter

Russian campaigned like he was Mendez's manager for the no contest. Now that Argenis might move up and effectively deny Rances the rematch it's "so what?" Oh, the hypocrisy. lol

I campaigned for a fair outcome within the rules, and Mendez got it. Yet still people are pretending like Barth got rob when he was the one that caused it.

If Mendez feels like he cant make weight and wants to move up then fight him at 135, or stay at 130 and fight for the belt. There were rumors before the fight that mendez had a lot of trouble making weight and frankly it showed. Im down for a rematch, but if Mendez feels he cant make 130 healthy then fight him at 135. Cant have your cake and eat it too

They said he had a lot of trouble making weight beforehand and afterwards and it showed in the fight with him being sluggish as never before.

Like i said im down for the fight and it should happen, but if Mendez doesnt believe he can make 130 healthy, then fight him at 135. Expecting a guy to fight at a weight he doesnt expect to make is just wanting him to lose, everyone is so emotional.

I'm still trying to understand this. He weighed in at 128 didn't he?

I think so. Regardless, what is important is getting lost in all of this which is Barthelemy still getting a shot at a title.


Barthelemy just needs another shot at a title whether it be through Mendez or for a vacant title. And that is happening so there is really no reason for anyone to complain.
