Barrera taunts Pascal "Did my KO of Shabranskyy scare you?"
PhilBoxing.com Wed, 21 Dec 2016

Fresh off of his crushing 7th round knockout of the previously unbeaten Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, top rated light heavyweight contender Sullivan "Sully B" Barrera has his next victim in mind.
The former amateur standout from Cuba wants to avenge his countryman Yunieski Gonzalez's defeat to Jean Pascal. Shabranskyy is the only other fighter to defeat his compatriot.
"I knocked out Shabranskyy to get revenge for my friend and I will knockout Pascal too. We can fight anywhere in the United States. Hell, I would go to his country of Haiti and fight him. I just want to get my hands on him," Barrera stated.
Barrera has been chasing Pascal for two years but has had no luck getting the former champion in the ring. With Barrera's main two targets - Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev - locked in for a year rematch in the first half of 2017, Barrera knows a fight between himself and Pascal would produce a worthy challenger for either one of them in the second half of next year.
"I want a rematch with Ward or a fight with Kovalev but I know they are fighting again so I can't just sit around. Pascal needs to man up and fight me. If he beats me he can get a Ward fight. If I beat him I can get a Ward rematch or a Kovalev fight," said Barrera.
"I can't fight in Canada but I am willing to fight him anywhere else in the world. I will fight him in the backyard of his parent's house in Haiti if he wants. Pascal, you need to stop running from me and give the fans the fight they want. Did my knockout of Shabranskyy scare you? Me and you toe to toe is guaranteed to end in a knockout! Congratulations on your win on Friday but now it is time for me and you to get in the ring!"
