anyone have a link to a stream?
Barrera's already hurting him with body shots, I can't see this lasting long.
This is a fucking awful fight.
Barrera is looking ok, but he should look to end this. It may be that he cant really punch hard at this weight.
Lol Barreras posture is funny to me, all he needs is a dirty wifebeater, and some missing front teeth.
DeJesus needs to quit complaining. Barrera looking decent all things considered.
IMO Barrera honestly needs to hang em up after this, he looks no better than Morales did in his last fight, well except in better physical condition
Main event happen yet?And I use that term lightly......how about Sanchez jr vs Villa ?
He hasn't fought in over a year, give him a break. He's pitched a shutout. I don't see the problem.
Barrera has looked like he's moving in slow-motion all fight. He won't be able to seriously compete at this weight.
Morales hadn't fought in 3 and he looked on the same level as Barrera, both were against weak opposition, both need to call it a career, Barrera is too slow and is still getting hit against a nobody, i give him 0 chance against any real names at 140 and 135, the same goes for Morales
DeJesus phoned it in...didnt seem like he was there to win to me. Nevertheless, Barrera can still score punches, but he wasnt under alot of attack so we will see if he gets a tougher opponent.
I don't think Barrera is stopping anyone at the weight, but that's his first fight in an age. Just a testing out warm up fight. He's 36 and will box his way to a win rather than go for broke looking for blood. I'm quite okay with that. He can build on this next time out and then maybe go for a belt. The first 3 rounds here were feel out rounds which he took easily enough and from that point he gradually upped the work rate. It wasn't a spectacular performance, but it was a proffesional one. You can't do more than win every round, you aren't always going to get a stoppage.
I'm quite satisfied with the performance and hope to see him again in the fall.
i don't wanna see either fight honestly, IMO guys like Morales and Barrera are looking just to get hurt they're not quite at the level of Holyfield but their getting close
Are you serious 3 anthems?
God I hate national anthems. I really, really fucking hate them.
Thats gotta be the worst version of the Mexican anthem I've ever heard...looks like he was having a senior moment there for a second.
I will say that, as far as national anthems go, the United States' is pretty badass. It's still a fucking national anthem though.
Come on Duddy knock em out! Lord knows you arent winning a decision.
I don't really understand the relevance of this fight, but I think I am going to have to support Duddy. I don't really know why TBH, but that's the way my mind is leaning. My mind is also leaning to the idea of sausages for lunch. I don't think those thoughts are connected.
Holycrap Villa beat Sanchez jr ;D I got one right :drinker: Is Duddy boxing Chavezs ears off yet
Its pretty funny how big the crowd is for these 2 guys, who says promoting doesnt pay off?
fuck me its nearly 5 am here... get the fuck on with it :mad:
The build up for this fight is taking ages. Get a move on dammit, they are only pumped up journeymen. They don't deserve all this carry on. There better be a knockout.
Fucking Freddie Roach, you bastard.
If anyones feeling generous come my birthday....get me a Tecante girl,or two.....both drunk
Good first round, I think Chavez got it but Duddy will get there soon enough.
Good fight so far. Chavez Jr. looks sharp with his punches.
1-1 so far.
Duddy got the second for me.
2-1 Chavez and I'm enjoying this.
Chavez tattooing him this round. I'm gonna catch a ton of shit for this, but Chavez looks legit to me. I'm not saying he'll become an elite fighter, but he has some skills.
