so after seeing barrera do just enough to beat rocky who thinks MAB has enough in the tank to beat Manny Paquiao?
I'm a big Barrera fan and was pretty much 50/50 on the Pac Barrera rematch but based on last nights performance i'm not to sure I want to see it, cause Barrera will get beat up again :-\
Pac via KO
beat him fairly soundly last time and regardless of last night ive always though hed do it again ;)
Watch Barrera-Morales II and III. Ok Barrera didnt conclusively win II, but what was noticeable about his perofrmance, in both? Even against his most hated rival, Barrera managed to curb his warring instincts and ADJUST to beat Morales. This is a trait you dont often see in exciting Mexican and Eastern fighters who love to brawl.
For this reason I still give Barrera a shot at a points victoy over Pacquaio, but the first defeat was so bad I'm not sure even he can overcome it. If Pacquaio comes in focused, there arent many isnt anyone that could stop him.
Pacquaio KO inside 10
MAB decisions him and then retires...
Hopefully Barrera can go the distance, but to be honest i don't see him winning a rematch
it depends if pacman has his head in the game, if he doesnt come in ready and neglects his training as reports have been suggesting i think marco could pull it off.

Barrera just wasn't himself in the first fight. Pac at his absolute best couldn't dominate a focused Barrera like he did the first time. No one could.
Barrera on points .
He'l do what Marquez did and what Erik did to Pac in the 1st fight . Just plain outbox him . Plus he'l be more motivated and focused for Pac than he was last night
I think thats the key, he needs to sit down and think about it. If he feels motivated and can give 100% i think he will win a UD - would be a fitting way for a legend to reitre!Quote:

I think if Juarez had let his hands go more and earlier,he could have won.However,I can imagine MAB being more focused to fight Pac,I mean fighting Juarez must have been a let down when he was supposed to make history by beating Chavez! In the first Pac EM fight,EM had to go to war alot too,does MAB still have it in him to go to war with Pac?Possibly. I see both sides and I would say Pac would win BUT I would much rather MAB won. I also disagree with his plan to have 7 more fights,way toooo much and I hope he realised that lsat night.
I'd looooove to see Jurez Pacman,he's not as agressive,does not use a jab but he has crushing crushing power! Anyone see MAB's face and Juarez did not land massive amounts of punches! The boy needs to let his hands go!
You guys are not serious......
(The guys who think MAB would win that is)
After watching the fight last night...i think it will be more difficult for MAB to beat PAC on the rematch,to date i think PAC is one of the fastest puncher right now...he is relentless doesn't stop,keeps on punching and attacking,there is no way to avoid him for the whole 12 rounds...but i honestly think that MAB will give PAC a hard time on the 2nd match the reason is HEART...the truth is i have always admired MAB for his great boxing skills and counter-punching abilities..its just unfortunate that he has to clash with PAC who is my favorite fighter,i thought that after i saw PAC vs EM 1, i will never see fighter bloody and all...willing to fight it out up to the last round...but MAB showed me something new about him that night..that despite the fact that he is being hit by Juarez power punches he kept on fighting back i mean you cant help but be impressed by the way he held on,not just held on but fought back...to me that is the most important thing...I think if ever that this fight will go through in the future this will be classic..super fight in the making....
what are you talking about?Quote:

Barrera has only gotten older, imo it will be worse this time around
I have to agree. Pac-man has his number.Quote:

He is still one-dimensional. Nullify the left straight and you nullify 90% of his offence. It's just a fact that he is one-dimensional. Like I said, it's a hell of a dimension and stopping it is easier said than done, but Pac is so far from unbeatable it's almost untrue. Morales showed it and JMM showed it.Quote:
