I assume that this is your last fight of the year?
Yes, with this bout we close out the year.
When do you expect to fight next year and against whom?
Well, next year, 2007 is the last year for Marco Antonio Barrera. I have thought about it, I have discussed it with my family and my team, this is news that I have not even spoken with my promoter yet, Oscar de la Hoya. We want to fight two or three times in 2007 and then we are leaving the stage set for those younger warriors.
In what city would you want to fight for the first time or return to fight in the last year for Barrera?
We would love to fight in Mexico City but we know that the big fights are held in the United States, especially Las Vegas. We are going to discuss it with Oscar and see if we can make this dream come true and have the pleasure of fighting in my native city.
In an ideal world, who would be your rivals for those last three fights?
I haven’t really thought about it but the fight that comes to mind would be a rematch with Manny Pacquiao.
