    Any way to see this fight on Sat and will be at the usual mid-afternoon start time for those of us in the states?

    could be possible there is only 1 guy pretending to have a brother...interesting situation...or maybe they change between rounds. a possible reason why tarvis/travis have so much stamina. also cuts dissappear and reappear during the fight....the biggest give away was when travis came out in blue trunks but entered in white.

    Oh for Chrissakes, Golovkin-Simms is OFF due to VISA problems.

    I don't get is. Most Americans don't travel abroad so many don't have a passport and know little about VISAs. But if Tarvis Simms has a professional team behind him, and if it's the rival promotion, Universum's interest to make sure the fighter arrives to Germany in time, how the hell can a VISA problem happen, I mean they can't be THAT stupid, can they?

    F*ck this. The best fight of the card has just gone. Golovkin will face soft replacement Anthony Greenidge. Guess what, he's American and has a passport and a VISA...

    Have a cookie for stupidity, Tarvis! Or is it simple fear of losing after watching a tape? :patsch

    Visa problems are actually very common.

    I know. But if it is so common in boxing (it is), why the hell don't they give more attention to that? I'm pissed off. It was an excellent test for Golovkin to see where he stands and a way to get a top ranking position at MW, about the right time given his skill level. Now he lost a few good months on the way to the top or will skip this step-up and will go for even riskier fights without this experience, not to speak about the credit he could've recieved from the fans and writers for this fight. Pretty bad situation both ways.

    Most promoters on a smaller level are very unorganized when it comes to things like this. You're absolutely right that they should pay attention to this sort of stuff. Instead they just assume they can walk right in and that's that. I've seen it happen before..lots of times actually.

    Very possible. Maybe they put the Mamani fight on screen on the flight and he quickly turned the plane back... or maybe the VISA gave him a tough sparring session. :lol:

    would have been mismatch even as a sparring session for Gennady. He has already beaten guys like De La Hoya:cool:

    I think is it time for Gennady try to catch a big fish:good

    Does Travis have a working visa?

    Tarvis should just use his...and if that doesn't work, can just play his celebrity card and be like "Perhaps you recognize me from the hit movies Bad Boys 1 and 2."
