Comments Thread For: Barthelemy Decisions Shafikov, Wins IBF World Title

[kidbazooka]

Rances made it harder on himself he could have easily out boxed Shafikov the way he did in the final rds.

But fun fight though Shafikov tough but Rances took it imo.

who tf is that? he's not even ranked at 135 top 10

His the next man in line by the IBF http://boxrec.com/boxer/563751

I don't know. I kept saying he should be using his height, his reach. Maybe it was the plan all along, because Rances switched to boxing mode in the last third of the fight and really opened up the lead. Nice performance. Barthélemy used every trick in the book it seemed.

yea i thought he was using that staying on the inside trick way too damn much..but he proved to be a warrior and well conditioned..shaf is a monster at 5'5

I've seen Rances fight live three times. He's a warrior. Likes to mix it up. Maybe too much sometimes. He's not crazy talented like Gamboa and Rigo, but he's got just enough. He's gone far. I hope he goes farther.

This fight card is PROOF of what I have been saying time and time again about PBC and Shobox. Tonight you had serious matchups, many unbeaten vs unbeaten and once beaten which is why AL Haymon is THE MAN!! And then you have GoldenCrap and Top Stank putting on fights such as Joseph Diaz vs another HAPLESS, HELPLESS setup and this time against Julian Ramirez' leftovers!! Like I said, GoldenCrap and Top Stank could have 20 unbeaten featherweights and what would they do??? They would pit them against each others leftovers instead of pitting them in against each other to determine who the real prospects are! *** GoldenCrap and Top Stank!! They need to knock those prospects off their training wheels and out of the damn kiddie pool and put them in against EQUALS!

Boxing is a great sport in that when you put together great fighters, you get extremely memorable moments. Other than that, the sport sucks ass, at least nowadays. It's all about matchmaking and avoiding that first loss. In no other sport do you get the best consciously avoiding each other. Imagine a 10-0 NFL team playing a 5-5 team every weekend till the end of the year. Who the fuck wants to see that?

Exactly!! Every damn one of Top Stank and GoldenCrap weekly cards this has been 100% predictable with fighters in the same division such as Oscar Diaz, Jo Jo Diaz, Julian Ramirez, Diego De La Hoya and other prospects fighting each others leftovers instead of each other or at least a fighter who is their equal!!!

A natural súperlight weight vs a natural lightweight..

Ramses is **** and he just have the size.

This was a ok fight with a horrible end with Ramses playing and clinching.

Playing, yes. Clinching? Um...no.
