Why did Barry Hunter not let his son fight Shynggyskhan Tazhibay , scared or nah
ReplyDeleteHey Gary, that 152 pounder Kristopher Gatling, is he related to Julius Gatling(Juice)?
ReplyDeleteSad to see kids that box as good as Stacey once did get turn into a bum by brawling and taking a lot of punches. Tyson had that kid sticking and moving now he looks like a no excuse fighter throwing all them wild street fighter punches
ReplyDeleteVery rarely will anybody get pulled from a novice fight but barry showed hes not willing to let his son go thru what he ask of boug or anybody else son this aint pro an its jus novice dont teach him to run!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious as well Gary, I was looking forward to watching Barry's son fight. What happened?
ReplyDeleteI don't really know. Could have been a weight issue or he may have decided not to participate. Not sure.
ReplyDeleteThe kid that Barry son was supposed to fight reminds me of a young Lucas Matthysse ( in build and punching power in both hands at this level). google his last fight definitly not a true novice probably had 100 fight in his home country. I wouldnt want a mental flash back to take place on my son either
ReplyDeleteNicholas Lee was robbed he's from my gym..smart boxer who moved up in weight that night
ReplyDeleteDamn! Stacey I say take it back to Langdon
ReplyDeleteTake it back to Langdon for what?? How many National Champions they got in that gym? NoXcuse got endless and will continue to produce them. I think Stacey and the other young fighters are in good hands.
