And I looked at boxrec to compare this with the weights of their last fights.
Barrett is lighter and Valuev is the highest up in weight he’s ever been since reportedly 1997.
So Barrett has come in shape, and Valuev, this may be his kind of “shape” . But I want to root for Barrett, I really do. But something is telling me that Don King wouldn’t have picked Barrett after a year off with any other intention then him losing
Well, at least there will be something entertaining about Barrett’s beatdown tomorrow. The important thing is that he is using his time in the spotlight to raise awareness for an important issue. Just like that guy who had “The Sun” on the bottom of his boots when he fought Tyson.
yo PINK is smooooooooth man i got hella lacoste playa shirts that are pink! good for monte for the cause!
but on the REALZ ill admit ill be watching cuz just like many of u on this here site we’ve never actually seen Valuev fight. we only heard from articles etc so its real interesting to see how he actually throws down in the ring from my own eyes.
I’ll give anyone $1,000 to $1 on killers sportsbook on Monte Barret carrying in a bright pink paddle with which to spank Valuev, or any other sort of implement involved with spanking.
I like Monte… I hope he can finally win the big fight and send that gawky B****** back to Asia, crushing buildings and stepping on cars 8)
