Hi boxing fans :)

Can you please drop some lines on the IBF title fight ?

Thanks a lot :)

Alright Barthelemy and Mendez about to fight. Both fighters are in the ring now.

thanks a lot ! Cannot see the fight in canada :(

Round 1 just started. I'll give you an update at the end of the round.

[gilgamesh]

Barthelemy controlled the round big, he rocked Mendez about 1:20 into the round and had him buzzed for about 10 seconds there, and he got him with another stiff right hand in the final minute of the round. He controlled the round clearly.

10-9 Barthelemy

[gilgamesh]

Barthelemy lands 20 punches

Mendez lands 3

thanks again !

[gilgamesh]

Barthelemy TKO 2

He rocked him hard with a left hook at the end of the round and dropped him cold right at the final bell. They're debating now whether the KO blow was before or after the bell.

fight is over??

[gilgamesh]

Yes...there was a ding and a second ding, the final two punches that knocked out Mendez happened after the 1st but before the 2nd ding...but Barthelemy was mid-combination and the referee didn't get in there to stop him.

[gilgamesh]

fight is over??

Yes it's over.

Looking like Barthelemy is getting the KO 2 victory and is the new IBF Titleholder.

[gilgamesh]

Tyson is saying he's going to complain to the commission that the KO happened after the bell.

[simonboxing]
