Comments Thread For: Rances Barthelemy Has No Problem Facing Adrien Broner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Rances Barthelemy (23-0, 13KOs), who recently moved up by two weight divisions, is looking for big opportunities. Two weeks ago he dominated former lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco over ten rounds at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. DeMarco retired after the contest.

Although he moved up to 140-pounds, Barthelemy could now be in position to get a world title shot. Mickey Bey vacated his IBF lightweight crown. The sanctioning body ordered a fight between Barthelemy and Denis Shafikov for the vacant.

I'd like to see it, but Broner is probably fighting a double amputee in his next fight. And then back to a steady diet of midgets after that one. Rances will have to wait a while.

One of them should fight Omar next

No names in his weight class or the one above, moves up two weight classes instead of calling out names from lower weights, wins the fight. Badass. This is what boxing needs, the formula always works.

That's an interesting fight.

Good on Barthelemy for wanting to take this fight. I actually think this is a fight Broner would win though.

But Broner has a problem facing Barthelemy.

[sicko]

I remember when this fight was rumored as Broner next fight before the Porter fight was announced and I thought it was a awful match up for Broner then and I really think it is now after seeing Barthelemy pick DeMarco apart for his first fight at 140

Barthelemy schools, toys with and embarrasses Broner!

Barthelemy In Ring and Overall Boxing IQ is too high and he is just too SKILLED for Broner to deal with right now. Broner doesn't let his hands go enough to do anything that could give Barthelemy any problems. As soon as he start switching in and out of Orthodox and Unorthodox Broner will really stop letting his hands go and he won't know what to do vs Barthelemy

Ruslan Provodnikov is a network Free Agent, Banner Promotions and Haymon work together and had Algeiri on PBC so why not Ruslan Broner vs Ruslan would be a fun fight as would Ruslan vs John Molina Jr and Omar Figueroa

.......are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure that I think Broner would win that fight. I've never been too impressed by Barthelemy. I think it would be a terrible fight, but I think Broner would win by decision.
