Thread: Alfonso Gomez headlines then Mendez vs. Barthelemy rematch on Fox Sports 1 7/9 & 7/10

Heads up. There IS boxing on the next couple of nights as promoted by the gentile gent known as Mike Tyson.


It'll be pretty good to see that rematch after the way the first fight ended after or at the bell.


Gomez is still ticking and gave a hell of a fight to red headed fuck a couple years back, so good luck to him.


Should be entertaining and SOMETHING to watch after no fights this past weekend to speak of.

Looking forward to seeing how Barthelemy vs Mendez plays out this time.

Backing Barthelemy Mendez can fight though interesting rematch

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday?
Saturday Alveraz vs Lara, can't get too much of a good thing.

True but that shit is ppv.

Canelo is NOT a ppv fighter IMO. Not yet.

Cool, it's boxing at least. I didn't get the fuss about that stoppage, don't think Barthelemy intentionally threw late or anything, it was right at the bell and he just followed through. Mendez was just as caught up in the action and in no way had dropped his guard or anything, that was a clean KO in my book. I don't know either fighter well enough to guess how it plays out a second time though, hoping I can catch it.

If his PPV's turn a profit, than he's a PPV fighter. Based on his last couple of PPV, he's a PPV fighter

This guy has to be riding the longest "15 minutes" in the history of tv. I'd kinda like to see Gomez win though strictly based on Paredes needing bs catchweights for absolutely meaningless prior tune ups. Good to have action midweek but standard sleepwalking gbp product as of late.

He needed a catchweight? Wow. Missing weight seems to be contagious.

As we all know, anything can happen in a fight but I think we will see a pretty close copy of the last fight.
Of course, Teddy could be right, the stars will never again be aligned in just the right order to give Barthelemy a win over Mendez.
We'll find out fight night.

I'm really looking forward to this fight. I think we'll see a better effort from Mendez. But I don't know if it'll be enough for him to win

Last couple? You mean Floyd's ppv n then his tune up against Angulo that sold a lil over 300,000 at best?

He's hardly a proven ppv commodity. We ll see how this one does as no one knows his opponent outside hardcore fans. It's all on him.

It be on! I can't help but see a little bit o' early Victor Ortiz in young De La Hoya here

Talk about a early southpaw mix up! Diaz taking some unnecessary clips laying in there vs Robles. very solid hands though. Paulie here must feel like he has been paired with guy from a temp agency here on the mic

That was a fun fight, Diaz needed that.
