Barnett Battles in Lemoore, CA Tomorrow Night!

Undefeated DC lightweight Tye Barnett will participate in a Goossen-Tutor undercard tomorrow night in Lemoore, CA.

Barnett (8-0, six KO's) will take on Raymundo "Panadero" Gonzalez of Mexico (7-5-1, three KO's) in a bout scheduled for either four or six rounds.

A lot of people along the Beltway don't know much about Barnett. That's because he has only fought once in his hometown and that was on the Mike Tyson-Kevin McBride undercard on June 11, 2005 at Verizon Center. Barnett won a four-round unanimous decision over Mike Salyers on that card.

Now, Barnett is now being managed by former world champion Sharmba Mitchell so hopefully he will fight more in DC.

Why are you hating on Sharmba???

That's a good question. Ty should be fortunate that someone who has acheived world championship status is reaching back to help someone else do the same.

Ty has learned so much from Shamba.
It was Shamba who taught that kid everything he knows. Stop Hatin.
Let Ty do his thing the way he wants. Shamba will open doors more easly than anyone else, including
Berrie.

Barry Hunter is a great trainer. No one is trying to cut him out of the scene. I said Sharmba is MANAGING Ty not TRAINING him. Sharmba, along with his cousin, Nate Peake, is handling Ty from the business end. And Sharmba could be a good person to help from that angle. We'll have to wait and see.

Anyone whom realy knows local boxing gives Barry H. much props. Everyone in the area knows that Barry is an excellent trainer and brings alot to the table. Sharmba is no trainer....SM may be good public relations and have good contacts especially with the IBF...beacuse lets face it its not how good you do...its who you know....Tony Thompson...couldnt catch a break until he hooked up with Nate...now to go the next level hes gotta get in bed probably with a promoter....Conclusion it takes a village to get a boxer in....the more people your affilated with the better for the boxer....SM is good dude to be affiliated with
