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

how about this diego corrales was 6'1 and fought his entire career at 130 and 135...mostly at 130 even in the later portions...some guys are naturally tall with nothing but bones..go compare his legs to a ww's leg at the weigh in..u'll see that he's thin

Diego is listed at 5'10, 5'10 1/2", depending on the source. But you're right about frame. I addressed that in an earlier post.

You really proved that mexicans dont know shyt about boxing.

i like my mexican fighters..but they fans can be some racisst mfs when a pr or cuban is doing their thing..

Yeah, Barthélemy could turn out to be the best current lightweight. He's talking about multiple divisions, so you may be right, Rances could move up again soon. I have reservations on his ceiling, but the guy has continued to impress me.

if he gets he broner fight and wins it easy..im sure ww is next for him..i dont think imam could have beat him..him vs postol would be nice..i could see him taking some 147 tune ups and winning 12 round decisions..and then getting int he mix with a danny garcia at least..imma be honest if he can take danny's shots..he beats danny today!

Barthelemy won that fight but 119-109 card was a disgrace

He's not beating Broner "easy." Rances is good, but I don't see him as a dominating fighter. Do you think he'll skip 140? I wonder what Rances's power will be like as he rises. I would love to see him versus Garcia.

Why is it that there's always that one card where the judge seems to have been drunk?

Who's training Barthelemy?... As I said above, this guy needs some solid bodybuilding in order to go North... But, usually, the Cubans are quite lazy...

im a huge rances fans and i dont wan to come off bias..but when they wer on the inside the fight was just too tough to score..i saw many guys say i give up on scoring on twitter..he was landing the harder shots and keeping the volume as well..by round 6 they had landed the same amount of punches...i dont think rances even came close to losing a round after 8..so if u're not giving swing rounds in a "he gets this one bc the other guy got the last one" type of fashion..i see how u could end up with 118 119...this was not a canelo 119..i think it was clear rounds he got outboxed without landing enough hard shots.

i feel bad for the judge bc this is the exact kind of fight u dont want to score..one that gets wide late...but was too close too call early..

broner has to play the range game with rances and pick his feet up..if rances goes in there feeling like he belongs..i think he will beat him easy..adrien better be money or rances will make change on that ass

broner doesnt want to see someone switch while at range and keeping very low volume..his style doesnt fit rances at all..
he got outjabbed by paulie rances will do the same then land harder shots..

i forgot the trainers name but they frequent the mayweather boxing club..i dont think he's taking his career lightly he keeps on talkin about chasing more gold at 29. and also unlike rigo and gamboa..haymon can will and has kept him active
