Alright people…the weekend‘s here again & once again…it‘s on…but this time…it‘s on double time & Wacko‘s gonna have to do some serious knuckle busting with the remotes & keyboards due to the fact that we got two fights this weekend that will indeed change the landscape of one of our current favorite divisions & one of our least favored ones to boot.

Now you all know that Wacko loves to talk…hell…it‘s common knowledge that I could talk my way in & out of an A.A. Convention with a bottle of Vodka in one hand & a quart of Rum in the other…but this time I kinda wanted to let you guys do some of the talking here…so let us begin shall we?!?!?!

Tis time once again me bwoyo’s for yet another installment of Wacko’s Drunken Round by Round as Hall of Fame shoe in Marco Antonio Barrera (69 fights, 63 wins, 5 losses, & 42 ko‘s) sets out to right the first wrong that Manny Pacquiao (49 fights, 44 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws, & 35 ko‘s) laid on him on November the 15th, 2003 all those years ago.

Favorite quote from PAC-MAB I

Larry: This is the fight that will shake up the boxing world.
First & foremost…welcome to the forum my good man…have the Obligatory Wacko Welcome Wagon

Larry Merchant was & is right & your favorite quote from the first fight hangs heavy in the air for this one, IWHO. This is the fight that could shake up the boxing world…provided that Barrera were to win…which honestly…I just can’t see that happening. As stated before…I personally think that Pacquiao has Barrera’s number & Barrera has a few handfuls of things going against him.

What Wacko? What do you ask, could these detractions be?

#1: Barrera’s 20+ year trainer bailed on this fight…maybe for the most obvious of reasons.
#2: Barrera’s got age against him also…not to mention a “Tasmanian like Tornado” in front of him also.
#3: Barrera’s coming off the loss to Marquez…so the pressures on him like a muh-fwocka.
#4: Barrera’s got kind of a new & inexperienced corner…even though they’ve been there with him for the better part of 10 or 12 years…once the blood starts flying & S*** don’t go their ways…it’ll show.
#5: Barrera’s chin & speed failed him the first time that he fought Manny, he had some drags with Juarez, & Juan Manuel strafed him repeatedly…I think that 4 years later it’s gonna fail him faster this go around.

I dunno though. In a way I want to believe that Marco has this one last great fight in front of him and he will pull it off. In the last press conference he was holing back tears (I thought - when he said he was this was his last year boxing) and i can't help but believe that Marco is going to pull this off.

I'm going for Marco on points, via a passionate and smart display, from one of the the better fighters in and around his weight class ever.


Maybe even a shock ko....
Oh man…I’d love to see Barrera pull this out because YES Pacquiao is the obvious choice between the two…but as usual…on pointly & well spoken by my guy below….I’m with him 100%. Read on below courtesy of me bwoy Bilbo:

Personally I'm not buying the hype at all and think Manny will come in sharp and focused and will batter Barrera into submission by about the 9th round

Agreed. Very well stated & there’s already been some shifting already beginning ala Pavlik.

Sooooooooooo…your’e sayin’ that Barrera aint got an ice cubes chance in hell, huh?

I can buy that.

Heh heh heh.

I’m with ya there big guy. I’m watching that very fight now via HBO CLASSIC’s @ 12:35 in the a.m. & keep getting more & more hammered by the second. Every time Barrera wacks Naz my head jerks back in pleasant shock & drunken glee. Heh heh heh.

Well…I hate it babe…but if you love your sport & the figures of it…I’de imagine that if I were a part of such a grandiose fight I’d be a bit star struck to.

Well girls…I must say this was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much drunken fun for my drunken ass to handle on a funtastic Fridya night!

All that being said…I encourage you once again to join me…live & direct from the couch as we break out the chips & salsa, toss aside that remote, crack open the caps, & pour up your beverage of choice as we settle in for some couch coverage…it’s time for yet another installment of Wacko’s Drunken Roind
As always…I say to thee…cheers…& koneecheewah bitches! Nighty night…the Wack’s eyes & fingers can’t focus on the tact at hand!
