Iran Barkley and Saul Mamby return to the ring Feb. 23

By Ricardo Ibarra/ FightBeat.com:

The northwest fight scene is quickly picking up steam with fight cards scheduled to go on back-to-back throughout the region in the next couple of weeks. Next weekend will be especially busy in the state of Idaho with two cards lined up with some very interesting match-ups and one the region’s favorite fighters making the transition from fighter to promoter.

That's disgusting.

 

:doh:

 

:bears:





No, seriously.

 

Mamby's GOT to B Nearly 60 Years Old:: ...

He was N his MID 30's Back N the 1980's, when he was WBC Jr. Welter Champ...

REED::

 

Iran Barkley is on a Meldrick Taylor level.

 

he looks like he just got mugged in an alley somewhere.

 

I thought Roy was going to run out of opponents.

Barkley-Jones?

Barkley is prolly too dangerous right now.

 

:: :doh:

 

The Blade, and all that.

WHats Punk Adamu up to??

 

Barkley shouldn't be cleared to fight. The guy looks half dead.

 

Horrible

 

Iran is a grizzly 'roid. He would cut Jones a new one. You see Jones bombing Tommy Hearns out?

 

Barkley isn't beating anyone except a select few midwest bums that are even more punch drunk than he is.

 

You leave Kelly Pavlik out of this.:nono:

 

Pavlik is fighting a real fighter. Unlike your smurf hero who is fighting the ever dangerous fighting machine Elvin Ayala. Way to step it up Arthur! This should really prepare you for the best fighters in the world.


:laughing:

 

Are you serious? Is Abraham really fighting Elvin Ayala next? Tell me this is a joke.

 

:laughing:

So while We're CONSTANTLY Hearing How "Great" this Cat is, he's Instead Facing Sergio Mora LEFTOVERS???


REED::

 

I am dead serious. It's happening.

 

Abraham fought his share of tough opponents. At this point of his career, he's just more concerned with cleaning up 160. He's already defeated a couple of WBF champions, icing Ayala will only enhanse his legacy.

 

*Z*, you seem like an honest poster, but I don't believe you until I see some sort of proof.

 

I'd like to see Barkley vs Trinidad.

Next stop for King Arthur... America?
Press Release: "King" Arthur Abraham will return to the ring on March 29, 2008 against Elvin Ayala in Kiel, Germany. The undefeated IBF middleweight champion (25-0, 20 KOs) is brimming with confidence ahead of his seventh title defense. “I have big plans for 2008,†the 27-year-old said. “I will start with Ayala.†Abraham seeks a unification clash in the new year. First things first, though - after stopping Sebastien Demers, Khoren Gevor and Wayne Elcock in during 2007, he is convinced Ayala (18-2, 8 KOs) will meet a similar fate next month. “I have been in training for a long time and I am in great shape,†King Arthur added. Coach Ulli Wegner believes there are “great things†ahead for his fighter in 2008. “He has done really well but he can still improve,†the coach said. “He has got so much potential. However, he needs to be on alert against Ayala. He will be a tough opponent.†The 27-year-old American last battled Sergio Mora to a draw

Is Abraham the bggest coward in middleweight history?

 

I bet you would you sick fucker. ::

 

Pretty much. He's got one controversial "solid" win over Miranda. But he needed five thousand point deductions to get it.

 

I see Abraham really trying to set up that fight against Pavlik or Taylor...

 

Didn't Miranda also send him to hospital with a broken jaw?

:doh:

 

Before the fight, Abraham promised to send Miranda to the hospital.

 

So I recall. It must have been all that confidence after beating the WBF Super-Middleweight Champion of the World...
