A great fight. That 11th rd is up definitely up for round of the year. I scored the fight for Barrera, 115-114, cuz I scored rd 11, 10-10. But I won't dispute anyone who claimed it was a draw.
And I thought both guys stock rose off of this performance. Juarez made me want to see more of him. And Barrera just added to his great legacy.
Agreed ;D
Barerra also showed he isn't ready for Pacquiao yet
never thought he would ever be ;)Quote:

but Rocky is the future great preformance... if im critical i'd have like to see him throw more punches but hes a great new star 8)
barrera cant beat pac no way no how
I did not expect Juarez to give him such a hard fight. It was a damn close fight.Quote:

Juarez has booming power but he needs to learn to be more aggressive,spend more effort on the body and use the jab more. He needs to let his hands go more. MAB CANNOT handle Pacquiao based on that performance. Pacman is crude but what he does,no one does better. I can see MAB hdlding Pacman up for a while but I saw MAB's stamina decrease slightly,so I could see Pacman steamrolling him later in the fight. However,I will always maintain,the MAB that beat Hamed could beat Pac, as he could fight defensively and go to war.
what do you mean a draw?
It was then later declared that Barrera won right? a split decision
Agreed. I think that MAB can beat Pac the next time out.Quote:

i wouldn't be sad to see Barrera hang them up now on a win and look back on a great pro career streaching over 18 year :o i think 8)
I had it six rounds a piece...I hope MAB is man enough to give Rocky a rematch
I honestly think this would be a great time for Barrera to retire.
