Thread: Barrera v Pacman - Is there any point

Hey i know a lot of people want to see this fight but why? Pacman has only got better since the 1st fight and Barrera hasn't exactly looked in Stella form as of late, Marquez beat him and i felt he lost the first fight to Juarez. Can anyone see a repeat of the Morales Pacman 3 fight here because i certainly can. Pac will be on him from the opening bell and there is no way Barrera can fight at a fast pace anymore. I see a brutal beat down here and dont think it ll go past six just my 2 cents but hey maybe am wrong.

no barrera probably can't fight at a fast pace any more, but he can still fight a very smart fight

nope

Yes, the reason is to give a great champion a chance to avenge his most devastating loss. Don't count Barrera out in this one. I'm pretty sure Pac himself knows better than that.

I think it will be as bad a woppin as the last Pc vs Eric. I dont see the point either other than who else is Manny going to fight?

MAB's corner will quit again just like EM quit on 3rd round.

yeah pac knows, he is actually going into training already.

Well on the one hand,MAB,a legend wants to go out with a bang,and some say he should be given a chance to avenge the ass whooping. On the other hand and my personal view is that there were far more exciting fights out there. Manny needs to start fighting younger hungrier guys but hey MAB will bring in lots of $$$ for Manny so business wise,it was a smart move.

I would much much rather see a JMM-Manny fight for lots and lots of reasons but mostly because it makes more sense.Manny v Soto/Guzman would have been superb. Manny v Valero in the far east would have been a mega fight.

I'm interested in seeing how motivated Manny is for this fight too.

To be fair to Barrera in losing to Marquez he certainly made it a fight of the year candidate which means it was far from a one sided affair. I thought Barrera looked very good. As per course Barrera got the job done better the second time he faced Juarez.

It is most likely Barrera's final fight and considering all he has giving to boxing we should at least oblige him in the farewell fight that he wants.

No way it turns into a Morales: Pac 3 style beatdown in 3. No way.

I can see Barrera putting on a very decent showing in this one.

Pac - morales three?

Try pac - morales 1

Barrera won the fight against marquez and he looked as good as he has ever done in the fight

He might be a living legend and a veteran but remember he aint old!

It'l be a scorcher and im confident barrera will do it this time

Pacquiao-Barrera traded punches @ 126. They'll trade punches again, but this time @ 130.

No he didn't.

Barrera is years past his best. His talent, balls and guile kept him in that fight.

This is a good enough reason for me.

the point of this fight is simple... barrera is going to win.
