Comments Thread For: Barthelemy Furious That Mendez May Vacate To Move Up

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Cuba's Rances Barthelemy (19-0, 12 KO) is furious with the rumors that Argenis Mendez (21-2-2, 11 KO) is planning to vacate his title and move up in weight to the lightweight division. Barthelemy scored a two round knockout of Mendez in January, but a protest had the decision changed to a no-contest when Minnesota Athletic Commission agreed that Barthlememy scored the knockout with two punches that came after the bell. A rematch was then ordered by the IBF.

Your right bc Bart didn't knock him down before that...c'mon man he had Mendez on the rope. It was a matter of time either the end of the second or in the third Mendez was done. None he is proving he isn't shyt for Bart and is running away. It's a bad look for him and tuff to like him in the future

Bart is right why all the protest to then vacate!! Total bytch move

Mendez looked hurt with every single punch. He would crumple in a rematch. The NC was a gift he didn't really deserve because he was getting KOd sooner rather than later.

If it's truly a weight issue then Mendez should still offer him the fight at 35 and consider a catchweight if rances wants one.
