No, Barrera turned down the fight. If he or his promoter felt the fight would make money in the US, they could've outbid Beterbiev's promoter and staged it there.
Has Murat ever been off his feet before? As far as I'm aware he hasn't. The stoppage against Cleverly was premature from what I recall of it but it was a good performance by Cleverly nevertheless. Murat is tough and durable so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes Beterbiev to get him out of there, assuming he will be able to which I think he will.
No I don't think he has, Karo is as tough as nails and will be a real test of just how hard Beterbiev really hits. Cleverly was doing far better but there was no reason at all to stop it, it was one of the more ridiculous stoppages I've seen.
I don't think it matters how tough someone is. Beterbiev's mighty fists will destroy everything that feels their full force.
Gonzalez doesn't want to get robbed again, and if he fought Beterbiev it would go the distance and chances are, he'd get robbed.
Before I depart for my 12:30am workout. [YT]DBlWCqgk-nM&feature=youtu.be[/YT] [YT]wQGiyXnBSa0[/YT] [YT]_DG7OUZThzs[/YT] The Mandingo Warrior aka Yuneski Gonzalez's surrogate father got Mandingo'd plums deep up the backdoor by Nobuhiro ''Gennady's Son'' Ishida's little 4 incher (only playing my Japanese friends ). :rofl:rofl
Yunieski got rocked a few times by Pascal, if Jean can rock him, Beterbiev will knock his block right off.:deal
Barrera was pretty upset with the cancelation according to the Miami Herald they are talking with Andre Ward camp to face him, Barrera offered to fight Pascal prior to Gonzalez but they declined.
He also offered to fight Pascal in Canada, which as we now know, would have been an impossibility anyway.
