Nice link. Will be interesting if he does as he says and tries to make Marquez brawl.

Barrera's head seems to growing bigger and bigger. Literally.

I'll be 100% rooting for Barrera but if they "go for it" properly I think Marquez will win, sadly.

Barrera can play it either way, I will be very interested to see if he will brawl more in this fight. Its something i'd like to see him do. I can't wait for this fight. First fight I will have been able to watch live for an age!!!

Re: barrera opens up camp

I really think this fight is a pick 'em - depending on which Barrera shows up.

That head does seem somewhat exaggerated. Like some kind of Japanese animation.

It is an intriguing fight, If Barrera can come through this and look good it really will be a MAJOR statement...

Thank God (although he's imaginary) this fight is live in Britain too.

I don't think there's a BIG fight left in Barrera. And if they genuinely fight (they're good friends, right?) think Marquez will come out on top. Hope i'm wrong.

I really hope you are wrong too. Being friends shouldnt come between finishing a career as well as you can though. If he wanted to be diplomatic then the fight should have been avoided. Knowing how Barrera is, he will be in there to fight.

Im finally able to see this fight after the wife relenting to my complaints about living for several months with only eight Korean channels. Its okay for her, but I really need some BBC and my weekend fights (and no need for PPV out here! Fights are just shown!)...

Re: barrera opens up camp

I'm not sure how good of friends they are, but remember Barrera-Tapia? Good friends that went through the motions...although still pretty entertaining to boot...as this fight will be.

The fight is "free" on Sky over here. 4am being the only problem. :)

Re: barrera opens up camp

I really can't w8 for this fight. since it was anounced its been the fight i have been looking forward to the most this year. i honeslty think barrera still has what it takes to beat JMM. No idea what tactics he will use tho, he said about inviting him to brawl, prolly coz barrera is better at that and JMM i think has the weaker chin? Barrera said he was going toe to toe with naz tho and put on one of the finest boxing clinics i have seen in god knows how long.

I think he will mix it up, brawl then box, box the brawl, keep JMM guessing or find what works and stick to it.

they were but tapia was kept under the thumb by the jab, whenever he tried to bring more he got stood on, this fight is going to be much more competitive.

I agree. This fight excites me like no other in a good while. Im glad of the opportunity of using the television again and being able to yell to my hearts content!! ;D

Re: barrera opens up camp

I attended the workout for this site and he looked good. He was relaexed and seemed to be very prepared for the fight. I still see JMM winning but I think that a focus Barrera will give him problems.

Marco looks fit and relaxed. Should be a cracking fight. Two great Mexican fighters coming towards the end of their careers...i think they will put on a great show.

Thats cuz Tapia was willing to stay on teh end of a jab and get outboxed round after round. If Marquez challenges more then he'll bring out teh best in Barrera. Although Marco says he will make a fight out of it , he may be pulling the wool over our eyes like he did when he said he was guna rush Nas . I reckon Barrera knows he can outbox Marquez and is prepared to fight when the battle gets heated .

Marquez is the guy who has been trying to assert himself in recent bouts and feels hehas it all to prove here . It will make for an interesting fight with Marquez playing right into Barreras hands
