    This is interesting to me for a different reason. Barrera and Pascal seem to want to fight each other, but Pascal seems to want to have the fight in Canada which looks like, from this post, that would be a roadblock for the fight. Do you know if these visa issues are anything that could be easily fixed/worked around? I wasn't even aware there were problems on Barrera's end for this.

    3 belts, Putin in attendance.

    +

    "The offer was for $500,000 and included 25% of the Canadian pay-per-view revenue (Beterbiev resides in Quebec)."

    What a fokkin insult. Kovalev has no right to Canadian (Indigo/Videotron) revenues ($70/per buy), Artur generates that part of the pot. Kovalev can have all his Russian PPV revenue, if that's even a thing.

    Putin doesn't like boxing, how do you know he was gonna be in attendance? WTF are you even talking about?
    Beter had like 9 fights and was offered a fight for 3 belts in his native country, he declined, end of story.

    What Talent? he has decent boxing skills but his calling card is his power. Power is gifted and not considered a skill. Not hating, just saying.

    If Beterbiev was all about power, he wouldn't have beaten guys like Kovalev and Makarenko in the amateurs. He's got some subtle skills that has carried him to a very successful amateur career. While his pro career has gotten nowhere, he has the ability to compete with the best of them.

    His short punches travel like 6 inches and can knock a man out. That's punching technique you don't see everyday.

    Yeah I won't say he's all about power cause they all seem to have good skill from that way,the way he KOd that guy the other day was just beautiful as he drew him in and just seemed to counter him from nowhere,imagine if Kovalev had Beterbievs inside game or vice versa,not many have true all round game

    I don't see it. What I see is a decent fighter with tremendous power.

    You said Beterbiev would be the next E.E. to lose before the Prieta fight. LOL How did that work out for ya? The guy is not losing anytime soon and your proclaimations abut him being slow and a come forward plodder who only fights one way were also comically wrong.
